Lackawanna, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 154 § 154-20
Mobile home stand
Operative Text
A. A mobile home lot shall contain a mobile home stand capable of retaining the mobile home in a fixed position. B. A mobile home stand shall be adequately compacted and at such elevation, distance, and angle in relation to the accessway as to facilitate the safe and efficient placement and removal of the mobile home.
Section 154-20 of Lackawanna's Code of Ordinances establishes physical standards for the pad or stand on which a mobile home is placed within a mobile home lot. Each lot must include a stand that holds the mobile home in a fixed position, and that stand must be properly compacted and positioned — in terms of height, distance, and angle relative to the access road — so that moving the home on or off the lot can be done safely and efficiently. The rule addresses both the structural integrity of the stand and its practical relationship to the surrounding site layout.
