No permanent structure other than pedestrian ways, benches, recreational facilities, picnic areas, and lighting systems shall be located within such utility easements and permitted structures shall be located so as not to impede maintenance of the underground utilities.

  14. Recreation Facilities. In the area equal to the 10% of the mobile home park shall be developed and set aside for recreational purposes.
