Where a mobile home park has more than 16 mobile homes, two points of entry and exit shall be provided, but in no instance shall the number of entry and exit points exceed four. (1) Such entrances and exits shall be designed and strategically located for the safe and convenient movement into and out of the park and to minimize friction with the free movement of traffic on a public highway or street. (2) All entrances and exits shall be at right angles to the existing public highway or street.

Each park shall have improved streets to provide for the convenient access to all mobile home lots and other important facilities within the park. Streets shall be improved to at least meet Erwin Plan specifications regarding the type of pavement. (1) The street system shall be so designed to permit the safe and convenient vehicular circulation within the park. (2) Streets shall be adapted to the topography and shall have suitable alignment and gradient for traffic safety. (3) All streets shall intersect at right angles. (4) All streets shall have the following minimum widths: (a) One-way traffic movement: 12 feet. (b) Two-way traffic movement: 20 feet. (5) Except in cases of emergency, no parking shall be allowed on such streets. D. An improved driveway shall be provided for each mobile home lot. This driveway shall have a minimum width of nine feet.
Section 219-15 of Valatie's Code of Ordinances establishes physical access and circulation standards for mobile home parks. Parks must connect to a public road, and those with more than 16 homes must have two to four entry and exit points designed for safe traffic flow, all meeting specific angle, visibility, and width requirements. Internal streets must meet Erwin Plan pavement standards, follow minimum width requirements based on traffic direction, prohibit non-emergency parking, and each individual lot must be served by a driveway at least nine feet wide.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators of mobile home parks in Valatie must ensure their properties conform to the access and street standards set out in § 219-15 before and during operation. Compliant parks maintain entrances and exits at right angles to public roads, keep sight lines clear of obstructions, and size all entry points to accommodate vehicles towing mobile homes. Internal streets are kept to Erwin Plan pavement standards with the required minimum widths — 12 feet for one-way and 20 feet for two-way traffic — parking is restricted to non-street areas, and every lot is served by a driveway of at least nine feet in width.

Residents of mobile home parks in Valatie are entitled to live in a park that meets the access and roadway standards established under § 219-15, including safe, unobstructed entry and exit points and properly maintained internal streets. If a park appears to fall short of these standards — for example, if driveways are too narrow, streets are obstructed, or access points are inadequate — residents may consider raising the issue with the Village of Valatie's local code enforcement office. Tenant-rights organizations familiar with New York mobile home park regulations can help residents understand what options may be available when a park does not appear to meet these requirements.
