Operators and developers subject to Spencer, N.Y., Code ch. 98 § 98-35 generally ensure that any proposed mobile home park sits on at least five acres before seeking approvals. Compliant park layouts reflect the per-lot minimums — 5,000 square feet of lot area, 20-foot front yard setbacks, 10-foot side and rear yard setbacks, a 90-foot clearance from state road centerlines, a 75-foot clearance from other public road centerlines, and a 25-foot buffer from the park's outer property lines. Engineering plans submitted for approval typically show lot boundary lines that match the setback measurements required under this section.
