Trailer park lot requirements
Operative Text
Every house trailer park site shall be subdivided and marked into rectangular shaped lots. The area of such lot shall be not less than five thousand (5,000) square feet with a minimum frontage of fifty (50) feet. Each lot shall be adjacent to a roadway, except that upon approval of the Town Board, eighteen-foot spurs from the main roadway may be permitted. Said spurs shall not exceed sixty (60) feet in length and not more than three (3) trailers shall be permitted around the perimeter of said spur. A separate parking space for visitors' cars shall be provided on the park site.
Under Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-14, every trailer park in the Town of Islip must be divided into rectangular lots of at least 5,000 square feet each, with a minimum street frontage of 50 feet. Each lot must front a roadway, though the Town Board may approve 18-foot spur roads off the main roadway, provided those spurs are no longer than 60 feet and serve no more than three trailers around their perimeter. The provision also requires that a dedicated parking area for visitors be included somewhere on the park site.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of trailer parks subject to Islip, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 54 § 54-14 generally ensure that every lot is rectangular, meets the 5,000-square-foot minimum area, and carries at least 50 feet of frontage. Where direct roadway access for every lot is not feasible, compliant operators seek Town Board approval before installing any spur road, and they keep each approved spur within the 60-foot length limit while limiting trailer placement around it to three units. Maintaining a clearly designated visitor parking area on the park site is also part of standard compliance under this section.

Residents of trailer parks in Islip may find it useful to know that § 54-14 of the Islip Code establishes minimum lot-size and layout standards—including the 5,000-square-foot lot requirement and roadway-access rules—that the park operator is expected to meet. If a resident believes the park's physical layout does not conform to these standards, options can include raising the issue with the Town of Islip's relevant code enforcement or planning office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York municipal housing codes can help residents of trailer parks understand how ch. 54 § 54-14 applies to their situation.
