Under ch. 48 § 48-19, operators of mobile home parks in Chenango are generally expected to designate and maintain a common open space area that meets the 10% gross land area threshold, is accessible from within the park, and remains in a condition suitable for recreation and leisure. Compliant park managers typically document the park's total acreage and the acreage set aside as open space to demonstrate that the minimum ratio is satisfied. Keeping the designated area reasonably level and free of obstructions that would impede recreational use is also part of ongoing compliance with this provision.
