Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 127-19
Conditions to be considered
Operative Text
In determining the propriety of establishing a manufactured housing park in any area of the village, the following conditions must be considered: A. Soil conditions, groundwater level, drainage, topography, flooding, erosion, smoke, odors or other conditions which will have an adverse effect either on the land within the project, the occupants thereof or on other land in and residents of the village. B. Any adverse economic, aesthetic or other effect which may affect the health, welfare and the economic condition of the residents of the village and their properties.
Section 127-19 of Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 sets out a list of conditions that decision-makers must weigh when evaluating whether a manufactured housing park is appropriate for a given location within the village. Physical site factors—such as soil quality, groundwater levels, drainage, topography, flood risk, erosion, and nuisances like smoke or odors—must be assessed for their potential impact on the site itself, its future occupants, and neighboring land and residents. Broader economic, aesthetic, and public-welfare effects on the surrounding community and its properties must also be part of that evaluation.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers seeking to establish a manufactured housing park in Groton should be prepared to document how their proposed site addresses each factor enumerated in § 127-19, including physical site conditions such as drainage, flooding potential, and soil stability, as well as any economic or aesthetic impacts on the surrounding neighborhood. A compliant applicant typically commissions site assessments, environmental studies, and impact analyses that speak directly to these criteria before submitting a proposal for village review. Proactively addressing each condition in application materials generally supports a smoother review process under ch. 127.
