Operative Text
A. Park road layout. A drawing of the proposed park road layout, including connections to be made to adjacent existing roads or highways, shall be included in all manufactured home park plans. Straight, uniform, gridiron road patterns should be avoided unless they can be relieved by manufactured home clustering, landscaping and an interesting open space system. B. Park road construction. Roads within a manufactured home park shall conform to the construction specifications outlined in the table below. If such roads are to be dedicated to and maintained by the public, the construction specifications and right-of-way requirements of the Town of Sodus shall prevail.

Two off-street parking spaces shall be provided for each manufactured home site. Such spaces may be located on the individual lot or grouped to serve two or more manufactured home sites. The construction standards outlined in the table above shall be applicable. D. Storage space for auxiliary vehicles. No travel trailer, camper, boat, snowmobile or similar auxiliary vehicle or conveyance shall be stored on any manufactured home lot. Off-street parking space required by § 83-16C of this chapter shall be used by passenger vehicles only, and a supplemental parking area shall be provided in each park for the storage or temporary parking of all auxiliary vehicles. Construction standards outlined in the table above shall be applicable.
Section 83-16 of the Sodus Code of Ordinances establishes standards for roads, driveways, and parking areas within manufactured home parks. It requires that park road layouts avoid monotonous grid patterns where possible, that roads and parking areas meet specific construction specifications for base depth, surface material, and width, and that two off-street parking spaces be provided per manufactured home site. The provision also prohibits storing auxiliary vehicles such as boats, campers, and snowmobiles on individual home lots, requiring instead that a dedicated supplemental parking area be provided within the park for such vehicles.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of manufactured home parks in Sodus must ensure that their site plans submitted for approval include a road layout drawing consistent with § 83-16, reflecting the construction standards table for base depth, surface width, and grading. Compliant park operators provide at least two off-street passenger-vehicle parking spaces per home site and maintain a separate, adequately surfaced supplemental area for auxiliary vehicles such as boats and campers. If any park roads are intended to be dedicated to public use, those roads must additionally meet the Town of Sodus right-of-way and construction requirements rather than the park-road minimums alone.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of manufactured home parks in Sodus have a right under § 83-16 to two off-street parking spaces per home site, and the park is required to provide a separate area for storing auxiliary vehicles like campers, boats, or snowmobiles rather than requiring tenants to keep them off-site entirely. If a park's roads, driveways, or parking areas appear to fall short of the construction standards outlined in § 83-16, tenants may consider raising the issue with the local code enforcement office or the Sodus Planning Board. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured home park regulations can help residents understand what remedies or complaint processes may be available.
