See Chapter 1268 of the Township Zoning Code for area and bulk regulations. (Ord. 668. Passed 10-17-90.)
(a) All regulations of Chapter 1268 of the Township Zoning Code shall be adhered to in mobile home park developments.
(b) Mobile home parks shall be laid out with due consideration to slopes and other natural features.
(1) Natural drainage ways will in no way be impaired by development.
(2) Where possible, streets should follow the contours of the land.
(3) Efforts should be made to design the streets in the mobile home park in other than grid patterns in order to avoid monotony and achieve a more creative and economical street pattern.
(c) Whenever feasible, units shall be arranged in groups or clusters to create a focal point of neighborhood activity and larger contiguous open space areas.
(d) Mobile homes placed on individual lots are encouraged to be placed off-center on the lot so as to provide a large usable open yard space and outdoor living area in one section of the lot.
(e) Mobile homes should be arranged in a variety of orientations. Where possible, mobile homes should be situated with their long axis east-west, to offer a southern exposure to their longest wall and roof areas, in order to take advantage of natural sunlight.
