11. Site engineering. Grading and drainage must be performed so that water will drain away from the mobile/manufactured home spaces, buildings, and off the site in a manner in which will provide reasonable freedom from erosion. Walks, driveways, and retaining walls must be so constructed as not to interfere with drainage.
12. Drainage requirements.
    1. Mobile/Manufactured home spaces must be graded toward an abutting roadway to prevent surface water draining across adjacent home spaces. Grading under mobile/manufactured homes must be provided to prevent the puddling of water.
    2. Where swales for the carriage of storm water are needed between the mobile/manufactured home space and the roadway, they must be of a shallow type (generally no more than eight inches deep) to permit the parking of the mobile/manufactured home without damage to the undercarriage.

8. Plumbing. All plumbing installations shall conform to the requirements of the Plumbing Code (See GMC 15.03).
9. Electrical. All electrical installations shall conform to the requirements of the Electrical Code (See GMC 15.05).
10. Refuse collection. Refuse must be stored in fly-tight and rodent-proof containers. Six gallons of refuse storage capacity per day per recreational vehicle must be provided. If refuse container stations are used, a station should be located within 150 feet from every recreational vehicle space unless it is infeasible to do so; in no event shall a recreational vehicle space be more than 200 feet from a refuse container station.
11. Site engineering. Grading and drainage must be performed so that water will drain away from the recreational vehicle spaces, buildings, and off the site in a manner in which will provide reasonable freedom from erosion. Walks, driveways, and retaining walls must be so constructed as not to interfere with drainage.
12. Drainage requirements.
    1. Recreational vehicle spaces must be graded toward an abutting roadway to prevent surface water draining across adjacent home spaces. Grading under recreational vehicles must be provided to prevent the puddling of water.
    2. Where swales for the carriage of storm water are needed between the recreational vehicle space and the roadway, they must be of a shallow type (generally no more than eight inches deep) to permit the parking of the recreational vehicle without damage to the undercarriage.
