Many codes require open space be designated and designed on each mobile home space and subdivision lot for the outdoor private use of oc- in addition to common open space provided for use by all occupants of the cupants, project. Many codes require it be provided at 100-400 sq ft per site~ with a patio of 80-125 sq ft per site that ~ paved or hard surfaced suitable for garden furniture. The outdoor space or patio can be flenced or screened by landscaping for privacy. B. Access and circulation. (a). Access to~nobile home parks. In mobile home parks, internal streets are privately own- ed by the parR; l~ manufactured hom~ subdivisions, streets are dedicated, and in special design project~, ownership of streets and courts is designated in the development code for these types of~ projects. Mobile home parks require at least two entrances, located on an arterial or co~ector street or highway and not on local streets serving or planned to serve residential development. In rural areas, location of entrances must be on paved arterial highways, poss~bty requiring deceleration and acceleration lanes and a by-pass through lane for left turns !from and to the highway into and from the entrance, built and paid for by the developer.~ Ali dedications for perimeter streets, roads and highways must be provided, for one-half t~_e ROW width of streets at the standard width by functional classification as ~ . shown on the itransportatlon plan. All access to the project must be by these entrances with no acces~ allowed from mobile home spaces to streets or alleys outside the project. Entrance streets~ must have three or four travel lanes, two in and one or two out, with most recent c~des requiring four lanes, two in and two out. No parking or access to units is allowed along ~he first 100~200 ft on entrance streets from the ROW line. The entrance street can be ~ivided by a median, with a gatehouse and entrance sign if desired. (b). Access to ~anufactured home subdivisions. This a'ccess, and the design of entrances and dedicated width, of streets, is that required in the subdivision code for manufactured home projects platteO as conventional subdivisions and for PUDs and innovative design projects as required in th~ zoning code. (c). Standards ~or internal streets. These streets must be paved to public local street con- struction stand~a~ rds. In mobile home parks, street width from curb face to curb face is 24- 36 ft~ with 2~-28 ft most common. Curb and gutter or swales are required. Cul-de-sac streets are all,wed, with the maximum length of cul-de-sacs and the required radius of the turnaround taking the standards required by the subdivision code for urban subdivisions. Ail streets must b~ named, street signs provided, and address numbers assigned within the no- menclature an~ numbering of streets and addresses of the adjacent neighborhood. Block and lot numbers ar~ assigned, being numbered in consecutive order, as provided for blocks and lots in conventional subdivision plats. Streets in manufactured home subdivisions take the standards req4red for conventional subdivis'ions, PUDs and condominiums in the zoning code. brivew4ys to individual spaces from streets take the standards for single-family driveways required in the land development code. (d). An intern~'i pedestrian circulation system 'of walkways is required throughout mobile home parks. P~liC walkways and sidewalks are 4-5 'ft wide, generally in accord with subdi- vision construc~ion standards, with sidewalks required on one side of internal streets. A walkway is re( uired' to each mobile home unit from Public sidewalks, at least 2 ft wide, although codes, might allow the driveway to substitute for this walk to the mobile home stand. Manufai~tured home subdivisions take the sidewalk standards required in the subdivi- sion code. September 23, 1994 t~sue /o7
