Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-17
Park entrance
Operative Text
A. Entrance roads. (1) A manufactured home park containing more than 20 units shall provide for two independent connections with existing public streets, such connections to be designed so that traffic can be maintained even though one access may be temporarily closed. A divided entrance road providing at least 10 feet between entrance and exit lanes that are at least 15 feet wide shall satisfy the requirements of this section. (2) At points where traffic enters or leaves the park, regardless of widths specified in the table in § 83-16B , road widths shall be sufficient to permit free movement to or from the public street, and in no case shall a park entrance road be less than 30 feet wide for a distance of 50 feet from the pavement edge of the existing public street. In all other particulars, entrance roads shall conform to the specifications outlined in the table in § 83-16B or to the street construction standards imposed by the Town of Sodus, whichever is applicable. B. Entrance signs. Any sign located within a manufactured home park shall comply with existing regulations and shall be located so as not to obstruct the visibility of motorists entering or leaving the park. If no sign regulations exist, the manufactured home park identification sign shall be one in number, no larger than 32 square feet in area, nonblinking and located no less than 10 feet from any property line. C. Manufactured home lot adjacent to park entrance. No manufactured home lot shall be located less than 100 feet from the intersection of a park entrance road and a public highway and no private manufactured home driveway shall make a direct connection with an existing public highway.
Section 83-17 of the Sodus Code of Ordinances establishes physical design standards for manufactured home park entrances. Parks with more than 20 units must have two independent road connections to public streets, and all park entrance roads must be at least 30 feet wide for the first 50 feet from the public street edge. Entrance signs are limited in size and placement, and no individual home lot may be positioned within 100 feet of where a park entrance road meets a public highway.

Operators of manufactured home parks in Sodus should ensure that road and signage infrastructure meets the specific dimensional requirements set out in § 83-17 before opening or expanding a park. For parks exceeding 20 units, maintaining two functional access points—designed so traffic can continue even if one is temporarily closed—is a core compliance element. Lot layout must also keep individual home sites and their driveways at least 100 feet back from any park entrance–public highway intersection, with no private driveways connecting directly to a public highway.

Section 83-17 establishes baseline safety and access standards that the manufactured home park where you live is required to meet, including road width minimums and entrance design requirements. If you observe conditions that appear to fall short of these standards—such as a single blocked access road in a park with more than 20 units, or a home lot positioned too close to a public highway intersection—you may have grounds to raise a concern with the Town of Sodus or its code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York manufactured home community regulations can help residents understand what options are generally available when code compliance issues arise.
