Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-15
Lot layout and unit placement
Operative Text
A. Overall considerations. (1) Required separation. Manufactured home units may be positioned in a variety of ways within a park, provided that a separation of at least 30 feet is maintained between units. A drawing showing proposed layout of manufactured home units shall be prepared. (2) Setback. No manufactured home shall be located less than 25 feet from the pavement edge of a private park street or 50 feet from the right-of-way of any public street within a manufactured home park. A minimum of 100 feet shall be maintained between a manufactured home unit and any property line abutting an external public road or highway. B. Density. The density of development in a manufactured home park shall not exceed 5.0 units per gross acre. C. Minimum lot size. Generally, manufactured home lots shall be a minimum of 6,000 square feet in area and shall have a minimum width of 55 feet. In special cases, where unusual park design provides for wider streets or a greater amount of usable recreation or public open space than required by this chapter, or when other special conditions exist, the Town Board may approve a modification of lot size. In no case, however, shall the gross density, as specified in Subsection B , above, be exceeded; nor shall the lot area be reduced below 5,000 square feet nor the lot width be reduced below 50 feet.
Section 83-15 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 establishes physical layout standards for manufactured home parks. Units must be separated from each other by at least 30 feet, must observe setback distances from both private park streets and public roads, and the overall park density cannot exceed 5.0 units per gross acre. Individual lots must generally be at least 6,000 square feet with a minimum width of 55 feet, though the Town Board may approve modifications down to a floor of 5,000 square feet and 50 feet of width under special design circumstances.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of manufactured home parks in Sodus must ensure that every site plan submitted under § 83-15 includes a drawn layout demonstrating the required 30-foot unit separation, proper setbacks from private and public streets, and the 100-foot buffer from external public road property lines. Compliant parks are designed so that gross density stays at or below 5.0 units per acre, and individual lots meet the 6,000-square-foot and 55-foot-width minimums unless the Town Board has formally approved a modification. Maintaining documentation of any Town Board-approved lot-size modifications is a standard practice for demonstrating ongoing compliance with § 83-15.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of manufactured home parks in Sodus benefit from § 83-15's layout standards, which set minimum distances between units, from streets, and from property lines, as well as minimum lot sizes intended to preserve livable space. If a tenant believes a park's physical layout does not conform to these standards—such as units placed too close together or lots that appear undersized—that concern can generally be raised with the Sodus Town Board or the local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured housing law can help residents understand how § 83-15 applies to their park and what avenues exist for reporting potential violations.
