Valatie, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 219 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 219-34
Additional requirements
Operative Text
A. The parcel of land which is to provide for both a mobile home park and trailer camp shall be at least four acres in size. B. Where practicable, that portion of the land to be used as a trailer camp shall be located adjacent to a public highway or street. C. The trailer camp and mobile home park shall be physically separated by a parcel of land of at least 15 feet in width along all areas where the trailer camp abuts the mobile home park. Such parcel of land shall be properly landscaped with appropriate planting materials so that the view of such trailer camp from the mobile home park is adequately screened. D. Where practicable, the trailer camp and the mobile home park shall each have separate points of entry and exit. Where the parcel of land fronts on two or more existing public highways or streets, the trailer camp shall be located adjacent to the public highway or street that is most heavily traveled.
Section 219-34 of Valatie's Code of Ordinances establishes physical layout and separation standards for parcels that contain both a mobile home park and a trailer camp. The combined parcel must be at least four acres, and the two uses must be divided by a landscaped buffer strip of no less than 15 feet wherever they share a boundary. Where feasible, the trailer camp should front the most heavily traveled public road, and the two uses should maintain separate entry and exit points.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators developing or managing a combined mobile home park and trailer camp under § 219-34 generally ensure the overall parcel meets the four-acre minimum and that a landscaped strip of at least 15 feet is maintained along every boundary where the two uses adjoin. Compliant operators typically position the trailer camp adjacent to a public highway—preferring the more heavily traveled road when multiple roads are available—and arrange separate driveways or access points for each use where the site layout allows. Maintaining appropriate plantings along the buffer strip so that the trailer camp is adequately screened from the mobile home park side is also part of ongoing site compliance under this section.
General guidance for property managers — not legal advice for your specific situation. Consult an attorney for advice on your case.
Residents of a mobile home park or trailer camp governed by § 219-34 have an interest in the landscaped buffer and separation requirements that are meant to screen the trailer camp from the mobile home park. If the 15-foot buffer is not maintained or the screening plantings are inadequate, residents may raise the issue with Valatie's local code enforcement or municipal authorities, who are responsible for ensuring compliance with Chapter 219. Tenant-rights organizations or local housing advocates can help residents understand what documentation or complaint process may be available under the village's code enforcement procedures.
