Subject to compliance with the procedures of this Section, accessory buildings, structures and uses are permitted in conjunction with a permitted land use or development or (unless restricted by applicable condition) a conditional land use or development when such accessory building, structure or use is customarily found in conjunction with the primary use, is a reasonably necessary incident to the primary use, is clearly subordinate to the primary use, and serves only to further the successful utilization of the primary use. Accessory buildings which are not a part of the main building may be built only in a required rear yard, but such accessory building shall not be nearer than five (5) feet of the rear lot lines nor eight (8) feet of the side lot lines nor shall any such accessory building occupy more than ten percent (10%) of the required rear yard or a maximum of one thousand two hundred (1,200) square feet, whichever is less. Accessory uses include the following:

Land area provided for a planned mobile home park shall be not less than five (5) acres.

Each mobile home site shall have an area of at least five thousand (5,000) square feet and a minimum width of fifty (50) feet. The total site coverage shall not exceed thirty-five percent (35%). Site coverage shall be calculated by dividing the total ground floor area in the mobile home unit plus the total ground floor area of any enclosed structure attached to the mobile home unit by the total site area. The floor area of a detached, enclosed structure shall not be included in the total ground floor area, provided the area of said structure does not exceed one hundred twenty (120) square feet.

Side Yard. Each mobile home site shall have side yards of a minimum of five (5) feet on each side.

Front And Rear Yard. Each mobile home site shall have front and rear yards of not less than eight (8) feet each and the sum of both yards not less than twenty (20) feet.

Yard width shall be determined by measurement from the mobile home face (side) to its mobile home site boundary, and every point shall not be less than the minimum width herein provided. Open patios and carport facilities shall be disregarded in determining yard widths. Enclosed all-weather patios and individual storage facilities shall be included in determining yard widths. The front yard is that yard which runs from the hitch end of the mobile home to the nearest street line. The rear yard is at the opposite end of the mobile home and side yards are at right angles to the front and rear ends.

An opaque planting screen, as set forth in Appendix B of this Title shall be planted within a buffer or landscaped area of not less than thirty (30) feet in width and shall be provided and maintained at the perimeter of the mobile home park except that if two (2) or more adjoining parcels contain planned mobile home parks within an "R-4" District, no such buffer shall be required along the common boundary between the two (2).

Refuse Disposal. The storage and collection of refuse shall be so managed as to create no health hazard, rodent harboring, insect breeding areas, accident hazards, or air pollution. All refuse shall be stored in fly-tight, water-tight, rodent-proof containers which shall be provided in sufficient number and capacity to accommodate all refuse. Satisfactory containers shall be provided at permanent locations, in areas appropriately and visually screened and accessible to solid waste collection vehicles.

(Reserved)[1]

The area of the mobile home pad shall be improved to provide adequate support for the placement and tie-down of the mobile home, thereby securing the superstructure against uplift, sliding, rotation and overturning as provided in the City Building Code.

Driveways shall be provided on the site where necessary for convenient access to service entrances of buildings, to delivery and collection points for fuel, refuse and other material, and elsewhere as needed.

Fuel supply and storage shall be provided in accordance with the BOCA Basic Building Code adopted in Chapter 500 of this Code.

The developer or applicant shall file fifteen (15) copies of the preliminary site plan prepared on twenty-four (24) by thirty-six (36) inch sheets to the Zoning Enforcement Officer on behalf of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Such plans shall show the location and size of buildings and structures as well as mobile home pads, site layout, parking areas, drives, walkways, recreation and common areas, refuse disposal areas, required buffers, and general location, type and capacity of utilities including storm water, drainage, sanitary sewer, electric, gas, cable, telephone and other utilities. Preliminary site plans shall also include general grading and landscaping plans reflecting thereon existing and proposed contours at vertical intervals of not more than two (2) feet referred to sea level datum which shall reflect thereon the location of major existing growth to be retained as well as new planting and landscaping plans.

The Zoning Enforcement Officer shall review such plans and provide recommendations, comments and suggestions to the Planning and Zoning Commission.

The Planning and Zoning Commission shall study the preliminary plan and supporting data and may make suggestions for changes and adjustments. After the Commission reviews the preliminary plans, it shall within sixty (60) days of receipt of the plan submit same with a brief report to the Board of Aldermen. The Commission and the Board may vary or reduce requirements if increases are made for other features. Should the Board of Aldermen approve the preliminary plans and supporting material, two (2) copies shall be filed in the office of the City Clerk and one (1) copy shall be given to the petitioner.

Upon receipt of the approved preliminary plans, the petitioner may proceed with the final plans and specifications for all or any portion of the project that is approved. The final plans and specifications shall be reviewed by the Commission and the Board of Aldermen in the same manner as the preliminary plans. No permits shall be issued for any construction upon the project until the final plans have been approved by the Commission and by the Board.

Planned mobile home park development permit and inspection fee shall be one hundred fifty dollars ($150.00) plus ten dollars ($10.00) for each unit.

The fees to be charged for the various procedures in this Chapter are not refundable.
