Drainage and grading. All lands used as a mobile home park shall be well drained, of ample size and free from heavy or dense growth of brush or weeds. The land shall be properly graded to ensure proper drainage during and following rainfalls and shall at all times be so drained as to be free from stagnant pools of water. C. Park plan. Each mobile home park constructed, altered or expanded after the effective date of this chapter shall be subdivided and marked off into lots or park units numbered consecutively, the number being conspicuously posted on each park unit, each of which park units shall contain at least 15,000 square feet and shall be at least 150 feet by 100 feet in dimension. No more than one mobile home shall be permitted to occupy any one park unit. The park units shall be grouped in blocks with streets at least 30 feet wide, 20 feet of which shall be hard surfaced, between each block. Each park unit shall have direct access to a street. No park unit shall be located within 50 feet of any public highway or public street line or within 50 feet of any adjacent property line or 100 feet of any adjacent dwelling house. Each mobile home park and all parts thereof shall be kept in a clean and sanitary condition at all times. There shall be a minimum separation of 100 feet between any well and septic system. D.
