Hopkins, Minn., Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-52
Vehicle storage
Operative Text
An area for storage of large items such as boats, boat trailers, recreation vehicles, etc., shall be provided in a separate secured and screened area of the park. No parking of such vehicles or equipment shall be permitted on the housing site.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-52 establishes that mobile home or manufactured housing parks must include a dedicated, secured, and screened storage area for large items such as boats, boat trailers, and recreational vehicles. These oversized vehicles and equipment are not permitted to be parked on individual housing sites within the park. The rule separates everyday residential space from storage of large recreational equipment by requiring a distinct, enclosed area for that purpose.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Under Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-52, operators of housing parks are generally expected to designate and maintain a separate storage area that is both secured and screened for residents who own boats, boat trailers, recreational vehicles, and similar large items. Compliant park operators typically enforce a prohibition on parking such vehicles or equipment on individual housing sites and direct residents to use the designated storage area instead. Keeping this storage area properly maintained, enclosed, and accessible helps demonstrate ongoing compliance with the provision.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Hopkins Code of Ordinances ch. 26 § 26-52 gives residents of qualifying housing parks the right to expect that a secured and screened storage area for large items like boats and recreational vehicles will be provided by park management. If no such area exists, or if residents are being penalized for storing these items on their housing site when no compliant alternative has been made available, that may constitute a violation of this provision. Residents who believe the park is not meeting this requirement may consider contacting the Hopkins city government, consulting a local tenant-rights organization, or raising the provision in any relevant housing dispute proceeding.
