Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-28 establishes that any manufactured home park must have direct access to a public street or highway, along with sufficient frontage to allow a properly designed access street. The Village Board of Trustees must approve that access before a park can be established or operated in that configuration. This rule governs the physical relationship between a manufactured home park and the public road network, ensuring adequate connectivity and design standards.

Under Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-28, operators and developers of manufactured home parks are generally expected to secure Village Board of Trustees approval for any access point to a public street or highway before proceeding with a park's development or modification. Compliant operators typically ensure that the park's frontage is sufficient to support a properly designed access street, not merely a minimal opening. Engaging with the Village Board early in the planning process is a common practice among operators seeking to satisfy this requirement.

Bath, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 72 § 72-28 protects residents of manufactured home parks by requiring that any such park have Board-approved, direct access to a public street or highway with adequate frontage. If a park appears to lack proper street access or the required Village Board of Trustees approval, tenants may have grounds to raise this as a concern with local municipal authorities or a tenant-rights organization. Reviewing the park's approval status with the Village of Bath or consulting a housing advocacy group are among the general paths available to tenants who believe this provision may not have been followed.
