§ 3343.08. Manufactured home park perimeter yard.

A perimeter yard is required for each manufactured home park. All parking, buildings, structures, and manufactured homes shall be sited so as to provide a setback of at least 25 feet from all lot lines. This 25-foot perimeter yard shall be landscaped and cannot be used for anything other than passive open space or a required roadway entrance into the manufactured home park. Whenever a manufactured home park is bounded by land which is both zoned and used for single-family dwellings the common border between the manufactured home park and the existing single-family dwellings shall be buffered by either a continuous fence, shrubbery or mounding in accordance with the following:

(A)

A fence shall be no less than four feet in height and shall be maintained in a neat, clean and orderly manner.

(B)

Shrubbery shall be of such type and maturity and planted in such manner that the shrubs will reach a height of no less than four feet within one year and will grow towards each other so as to result in a solid hedge within one year. Such hedge shall be kept trimmed and maintained in a neat, clean and orderly manner. Shrubs shall be replaced as necessary.

(C)

The fence or shrubbery shall be 75 percent or more opaque.

(D)

A mound shall be no less than four feet in height, planted with grass or other suitable ground cover and maintained in a neat, clean and orderly manner. Vegetation shall be replaced as necessary.
