Each mobile home shall be located with at least a thirty-foot setback from any park property abutting a public street or highway. Each mobile home will be no closer than 20 feet to any other mobile home in the mobile home park, including all accessories. G. The street systems shall conform to construction standards set forth in the rules and regulations relative to the construction and paving of streets in subdivisions in the Town of North Attleborough and shall have direct connections to a public street or highway sufficient to satisfy the safety requirements for the Highway Department and the Chief of the Fire Department and Chief of the Police Department. Access streets connecting park streets to public streets or highways shall be no less than 40 feet in width and shall be of such safety and other standards as for grading, contour and surface as acceptable to the Highway Department. Park streets shall be no less than 30 feet wide. All park streets shall be lighted, named and marked, and all lots on each street shall be marked with a number. The maintenance of these streets shall be the responsibility of the mobile park developer and operator, specifically, but not limited to: maintenance of the streets in a safe and passable condition at all times, removal of snow when the accumulation is over three inches, and removal of all debris from drains at least once a year. H. Each mobile home lot within a mobile home park shall have direct access to a park street. I. No mobile home lot in a mobile home park shall be located within 100 feet of any stream, pond, lake or other waterway, except where public sewage facilities are available and utilized, and the location will not present a potential flood hazard. J. The Board of Health, in reviewing all proposed water and sewer facilities of a mobile home park to be located in the Floodplain District established under the Zoning Bylaws, [1] as amended, shall require that: (1) New and replacement water supply systems be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems; and (2) New and replacement sanitary sewage systems be designed to minimize or eliminate infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters. [1] Editor's Note: See § 290-6 . K. No license shall be granted for establishment or development of a mobile home park unless connection is made to a municipal water supply system and all units within the park connected to it. A private water system for use in a central laundry or other similar use may be granted at the discretion of the Board of Health. L. Sewage systems. (1) Where a public sewage system is available at or within the boundary of the park site, connection shall be made thereto so as to serve all mobile homes and permanent buildings within that park. (2) Where such public sewage system is not available or feasible, the Board of Health shall not grant a permit for any mobile home park unless or until it is satisfied that the sewage system can be safely and effectively disposed of through lawful and proper means. The Board of Health shall, prior to the issuance of any permit, be assured of compliance with local and state laws. M. Mobile homes shall not be stored or displayed on park premises except when mounted in a pad on a lot. New mobile homes displayed for sale by the park owner or operator must be sold for use within that park. Used mobile homes offered for sale by individual mobile home owners must be displayed on a lot within that park but may be sold either for use within that park to an individual, or the park owner or operator, or for use outside that park. The park owner or operator may also display those used units on a pad on a lot for resale within that park premises. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as permitting the storage of unoccupied units in any park, for sale in the ordinary course of business, or as inventory, or the sale of such units except in those districts, as determined by the Zoning Bylaws, wherein such commercial activity is permissible with or without permits from the proper authority. N. The developer shall provide for a buffer zone of at least 30 feet, with appropriate vegetation, between the mobile home park and any adjacent property; and shall establish at least a thirty-foot buffer zone where such a mobile home park shall be adjacent to any main highways, roads and so forth; and shall provide appropriate vegetation in the buffer zone between the mobile home park and that passageway.
