1240.06 STREET DESIGN AND PARKING STANDARDS.
(a) Generally. The street system of a mobile home park shall be designed to include the following:
(1) Create a separation of automobile and pedestrian circulation by means of a system of roads and pedestrian walkways.
(2) Create efficient and safe connections with the existing road systems of the Township in order to ensure proper ingress and egress to and from the mobile home park.
(3) To minimize through traffic into residential areas.
(4) Encourage curvilinear road systems with flowing horizontal and vertical alignments, designed for slow moving vehicles.
(b) Classification of Road System. Proposed streets in mobile home park developments may be a hierarchy of roads or a single point of access. The road system may be classified as follows:
(1) Entrance road, to provide direct access to mobile home parks and designed to allow free movement of traffic onto adjacent public streets.
(2) Secondary road, to provide access to and from common parking areas and to individual lots.
(c) Right-of-Way and Cartway Widths.
(1) Street right-of-way and cartway widths in mobile home parks shall conform to the minimum standards listed in Table 4 below:
| TABLE 4 | |||
| MOBILE HOME PARK STREET WIDTHS | |||
| Right-of-Way Width (ft.) | Cartway Width (ft.) | ||
| Entrance Road | 5 | 30 | |
| Secondary Road | 40 | 27 | |
(2) Where Street rights-of-way are required, their design shall conform to the standards in Section 1236.03.
(3) See Section 1236.03(g) for provisions relating to cul-de-sacs.
(d) Street Intersections.
(1) Entrance roads intersecting local or collector streets should be located a minimum of fifty feet and seventy feet, respectively, from the closest intersecting street.
(2) Entrance roads entering on opposite sides of any street should be laid out either directly opposite one another or with a minimum offset of 150 feet between their centerlines,
(3) For entrance road intersections, at a point fifteen feet from the curb line there shall be a clear sight distance in both directions of seventy-five feet for local streets and 200 feet for collector streets measured from the point of intersection. No object greater than two and one-half feet in height and no other object that would obscure the vision of the motorist shall be permitted within this sight triangle.
(4) Multiple intersections involving the junction of more than two streets or driveways shall be avoided.
(5) Entrance roads and secondary roads shall be laid out to intersect at right angles.
(e) Parking Areas.
(1) The requirements of Chapter 1284 of the Township Zoning Code shall be applicable to all mobile home parks.
(2) Parking is prohibited on all entrance roads and secondary roads.
(3) Off-street common parking areas may be provided instead of individual on-lot parking. Parking areas shall provide two parking spaces for each dwelling unit plus one for every four dwelling units for guests in developments of sixteen or more units,
(4) Walking distance from car parking areas to dwelling units should not exceed 100 feet; any exception to this standard should be reasonably justified by compensating advantages, such as desirable views and site preservation through adaptation to topography.
(5) The maximum grade of a parking area shall not exceed six percent. (Ord. 668. Passed 10-17-90.)
1240.07 SIDEWALKS AND WALKWAYS.
(a) Sidewalks and on-site walkways should be functionally organized and follow the natural path of circulation.
(b) Walkways shall be wide enough to accommodate two-way traffic. The minimum width shall be four feet.
(c) Sidewalks shall not exceed eight percent grade. Steps or a combination of steps and ramps shall be utilized where necessary so as not to exceed maximum grades. Where sidewalk grades exceed five percent, a non-slip surface texture shall be used.
(d) Pedestrian ramps will be required from parking areas to sidewalk ways to ensure adequate circulation in development design to accommodate the handicapped and elderly.
(e) For further provisions see Section 1234.10(a).
(Ord. 668. Passed 10-17-90.)
1240.08 OPEN SPACE/RECREATION AREA.
(a) Open space and recreation areas shall be provided as required in the Township Zoning Code, Section 1264.06, and in Chapter 1226.
(b) Not less than twenty percent of the tract shall consist of common open space.
(c) Open space areas should include both active recreation areas for all age groups and passive recreation areas, particularly where the site includes a watercourse, steep slopes or wooded areas.
(d) Areas set aside for recreational purposes shall be contiguous and accessible by the entire development from a public street or driveway.
