(2) Other planting shall be provided along those areas within the park which front upon existing public high-ways and streets to reduce glare and provide pleasant outlooks for the living units.
Section 219-19 of Valatie's Code of Ordinances requires that mobile home park grounds be maintained with lawn or ground cover on all open areas not occupied by structures, walkways, roads, or parking. Beyond basic ground cover, the rule calls for strategic planting to screen visually objectionable features—such as laundry facilities, garbage areas, and neighboring yards—from view. Plantings along public roads and streets are also required to reduce glare and create pleasant surroundings for residents.

Operators of mobile home parks in Valatie must ensure compliance with § 219-19 by maintaining continuous lawn or ground cover across all unpaved, unbuilt areas of the property. Compliant operators typically install and maintain screening vegetation around laundry facilities, garbage collection zones, non-residential uses, and property boundaries adjacent to neighboring yards. Along public highways and streets bordering the park, operators generally maintain plantings sufficient to reduce glare and provide an attractive outlook for residents.
