For Property Managers

Operators of mobile home parks in Red Creek should be familiar with every subsection of § 157-16, as it sets binding requirements across a wide range of site conditions. A compliant park operator generally ensures that lots meet the one-acre minimum, that a 30-foot separation is maintained between homes, that roads are built and maintained to the specified gravel and paving standards, that buffer strips of at least 35 feet (or 75 feet where adjacent to existing structures) are kept landscaped, and that all utility lines are placed underground unless the Planning Board authorizes otherwise. Operators also typically verify that each home is properly blocked, leveled, tied down, skirted within 60 days of occupancy, and connected to approved water and sewage systems in accordance with § 157-16's installation requirements.

For Tenants

Residents of mobile home parks in Red Creek are protected by the environmental and physical standards set out in § 157-16, which require park owners to maintain safe roads, adequate parking, proper utility connections, landscaping, and fuel storage systems.
