STUDY REGARDING MOBILE HONK SETBACKS
Goal : Refine setbacks for HII District .
Purpose : Acquire adequate setbacks .
Method : Review local regulatory agencies of municipalities
and counties in the Front Runge Urban t{rowl.h Corridor
• and Fire Code Regulations.
Hata : five municipalities , four r•onnl. iL5 , ❑ nrl Iwu fire departments ,
alt located in the general region around Weld County , were
conLaeted along with the Chief Inspector of the Weld County
• Building Inspectio❑ Department .
From contacts it was discovered that different jurisdictions
are not consistent with their regulations of mobile home
setbacks . Also, most jurisdiction ; were unfamiliar with the
basis for setbacks although fire safety was assumed .
{
Fire codes reviewed showed 10 feet as a minimum distance
between mobile homes . The County ' s Building Code , which
references the Uniform Fire Code , allows a minimum of
3 feet between units .
Summary of bindings : Upon evaluating the variety or regulations , Lh
-- - median level of setback configurations were
10 feet when end to end and 15 to 20 feet when
side by side . The side by side clearance
{ exceeds the minimum fire codes, however, offic.
1 from the fire districts felt the 15 foot
1 clearance was a valid distance for safety .
1
Recommendations : The proposed setbacks for the Mobile Home District
are as follows :
1 . End to end clearance - 10 feet
2 . Side to side clearance - 15 feet
3 . Accessory buildings - 5 feet from lot lines

i indicate that leaching fields from a septic tank require
additional space . Such percolation tests shall be conducted
wherever a lot is not connected to a public sewage system .
( 2 ) When a dwelling is connected to a public sewage system and
to a public water system .
( 3 ) Due to varying requirements , minimum standards shall be
established for each use by the Weld County Health Department.
(4 ) The minimum setbacks in the Agricultural District are as
follows :
a . For all areas other than subdivisions or unincor-
porated towns platted and recorded prior to
December 26 , 1973 , the minimum setbacks are :
1 . Minimum frontyard setback : 50 feet
2 . Minimum side and rear yard setbacks : 3 feet
b . For all subdivisions or unincorporated towns platted and
recorded prior to December 26 , 1973 , the minimum set-
backs are :

( 5 ) The front yard setback shall be measured from the adjacent
edge of the right-of-way line of the abutting public road .

to a higher classification as defined by the Weld County
Thoroughfare Plan , the front yard setback shall be measured
from the existing right-of-way line of the public road . If
the abutting public road is designated to be upgraded to a
higher classification as defined by the Weld County Thorough-
fare Plan necessitating additional right-of-way , then the
setback shall be measured from the future right-of-way line .
The future right-of-way line is determined by adding the .
distance of the additional needed right-of-way to the
existing right-of-way line .
The following is a list of the right-of-way needed for road
designations as defined in the Weld County Thoroughfare Plan :
a . Arterial or Rural Arterial - 100 ' Row

Weld County Planning Commission
915 10th Street
Greeley, Colorado 80631
To the Attention of: Mr. Ken Williams
Dear Sir:
Reference is made to our meeting November 29th, concerning the
rules and regulations for mobile home parks.
I support the consensus that you change the setback adjustments
for the amended rules and regulations from 10 feet in front and 10
feet in back to 5 feet in front and 5 feet in back. The reason is
this, in many of our lots which are ample in width, they are short
in length. We would have great difficulty in meeting this regulation
and could not accept any mobile home longer than a 14 X 65. The
most popular size in mobile homes, today, is 14 X 70. May I remind
you that none of our existing lots are back to back, which gives
the tenant more privacy and avoids congestion. To reduce the size
of a mobile home we could accept would put a great burden on our
business and limit us to a very restricted income.
We have many 14 X 70 movile homes in our park at this time with
a five foot space in front and in back and a widkr of approximately
40 feet between the mobile homes. I cannot see any safety hazard
or a detrement to living conditions with these changes.
I would also like to indicate a complaint in reference to the
inspection fee. I believe it to be excessive and unreal. It will
work a hardship on many people that choose or by occupation live in
a mobile home. I would like to itemize a few of the costs entailed
in moving a mobile home to any park. At an average cost of $1.00
per mile, plus an average fee of $75.00 hookup fee, plus the other
costs, such as a months rent, damage deposit and deposit on gas
and electricity service, then add the $45.00 inspection fee and
you have a total of about $300.00sto move just a few miles, say from
Greeley to our park at the south end of the county. This works a
hardship on a working man's income. I have called other mobile home
parks in the area and in three different counties, find the fees
average $20.00 with the City of Thornton charging $25.00 for a
complete inspection. My suggestion to this fee be set at $25.00
for a complete inspection with two trips allowed. I realize that
immediate inspection as to lights and gas with the proper setbacks
would take an immediate trip by an inspector. I would also recommend
a person have at least four (4) weeks to complete skirting, which
gives a working person adequate time and an extra payperiod to
complete it. This final inspection would be done at the convenience
of the inspector and not a mandatory trip. Rarely do we have anyone
move into our park that can stand the expense of moving, plus block-
ing and skirting expense without a little time to recuperate his
income.
Page -2- 1 •
We are competing with parks in Adams County, and feel that the
excessive inspection charges proposed by Weld County would work an
unusual hardship on us. A number of times, the excessive charges
are the determining fact r, whether or not a space is rented. I
believe the establi^hed fee that we have been working under and the
way it is implemented is sufficient. I believe that the ruling con-
cerning the extra trip an inspector makes because the mobile home is
not ready for inspection, is fair.
I want you to know that I am concerned with your problems and I
hope you are concerned with ours. You will always receive the utmost
in cooperation from our owner and manager, as you have in the past.
Your. truly,
•
