The continuance was for the expressed purpose of taking a closer look at problems associated with a zero setback in Mobile Home Parks . Upon review of the various parks, one can define no consistancy between any of them. Each park has a design unique to itself re- garding sizes of spaces , location of utilities , widths of streets , types of street construction and so forth. At least four parks have setbacks less than five feet currently and three more may be less than five feet ; however, measurements were difficult as there was no physical dileneation of the street edges . The depths of lots vary between the various parks also. Based upon the field data, four parks are identified as having 100 foot lot depths. A review of the plats of those same parks shows that the 100 foot depth is not consistant with all spaces in the parks . The average lot depths of the parks in the county appear to be 70 to 90 feet . Some parks are less than the average , however . With respect to frontyard setbacks , certain parks will not be able to allow longer mobile homes regardless of the front setback. This is because of the physical limits of the space depths . Also , where utilities (electric, telephone , and gas) are located in easements between spaces , there may be difficulty in overlapping those easements to set a mobile home . The advantage of over- lapping is so that a longer mobile home can be located within the park. The problem occurs when the mobile home covers the easement and especially when the mobile home physically lies over the utility hookups . The street widths in the parks vary from 20 feet to 50 feet . Most parks average 35 feet . All but 3 parks have physical features such as surfaced streets , curbs , and/or sidewalks . Of the remaining three , the streets in two are not easily identified and the third fronts a County Road. In summary , the physical conditions appear to favor reduction of the frontyard setback. A large percentage of parks appear limited in ability to handle large homes with a setback restriction for the front yard. Some mobile homes are currently placed less than the present 5 foot setback. With exception of one park, street widths appear adequate for emergency vehicles and mobile home transfer in and out of spaces . It should be considered, however , that the safety of pedestrians , vehicle parking and vehicular traffic is less adequate with no front yard. Also , the residential occupancy is immediately adjacent to travel surfaces , increasing impacts of traffic noise within the residences . 7 7/e/5 /'L C/w/ Two additional concerns remain. If the zero front setback is adopted, will it be for all parks present and future; and depending on this determination, what manner of format is appropriate for the use and density schedule. It appears the physical limitations would separate existing parks from those not yet approved. Therefore, future parks could be required to have a frontyard setback. If only existing parks are to be allowed a zero front setback, a separate condition should be placed in the Use and Density Schedule to reflect that mobile home parks established prior to the date of this adoption are granted a minimum frontyard setback of zero feet . • • USE AND DENSITY SCHEDULES 3 . 14 PERMITTED USES IN ALL ZONING DISTRICTS SHALL COMPLY WITH THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE FOR MINIMUM SETBACK FO BUILDINGS , MINIMUM LOT AREA PER PRINCIPAL USE , THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH PER PRINCIPAL USE , AND MAXIMUM HEIGHT OF BUILDINGS .

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 , 1978 , the minimum setbacks are : Minimum frontyard setback : 20 feet Minimum side yard setback : 5 feet Minimum rear yard setback : 10 feet ( 5 ) ( RESERVED ) USE AND DENSITY SCHEDULES ( 6 ) The minimum side yard along a street on a corner lot shall be the same as the front setback requirement for such zone . ( 7 ) The minimum rear yard shall be measured from the centerline of an alley where an alley abuts the rear lot line . (8 ) Airport - Zone District Map must be checked for further height restrictions . ( 9 ) The side and rear yard setback requirements in Mobile Home Parks shall be based on the distance between mobile home units measured from the closest point or edge of the Mobile Home as follows : a . 10 ' between mobile homes if the units are placed end (width ) to end (width ) . b . 15 ' between mobile homes if the units are placed side ( length ) to side ( length ) . c . 12 . 5" between mobile homes if the units are placed side ( length ) to end (width ) . d . For the purpose of this section , the ends (width ) of mobile homes that are greater than 16 ' in width , such as double wide mobile homes , shall be considered to be sides of the mobile home in measuring distances between mobile home units . e . A mobile home shall have a minimum setback of 5 ' from the perimeter of the mobile home park or from any adjacent property which is not approved to be utilized for a mobile home . f . Accessory buildings and structures on the same lot or space as a mobile home shall have a minimum clearance of 10 ' from any structure or mobile home on any other lot . g .

The end (width ) of a mobile home shall be placed no less than 5 feet from any rear or side yard lot line . c . For the purpose of this section , the ends (width ) of mobile homes that are greater than 16 feet in width shall be considered to be sides ( lengths ) of mobile homes for the purpose of measuring setbacks . USE AND DENSITY SCHEDULES d . Accessory buildings and structures on the same lot or space as a mobile home shall have a minimum rear and side yard setback from the lot line of 5 feet . e . Commonly owned or utilized buildings which are accessory to the subdivisions shall have minimum side and rear yard setback from the lot line of 10 feet . ( 11 ) The front yard setback in Mobile Home parks shall be measured from the edge of the flow line or edge of the nearest travel lane of the adjacent road . January 17 , 1978 RE : Checking Mobile Home Parks in Weld County for frontyard mobile home setbacks'. NAME SETBACK 1 . Beautiful View 0 feet or Mobile Home to street edge of sidewalk. 2 . Country Estates Over 5 feet 3 . Del Camino 0 feet to 5 feet 4 . Eiler Corner Hard to measure with no defined streets. 5. Friendly Village 5 feet to 20 feet 6 . Ramona E. Helton Over 50 feet 7. Meadows Village 5 feet or more 8. Nusser Riverside Court Hard to measure with no defined streets, but can use the County right-of-way to measure setback. 9. Pine Lake Hard to measure with no defined streets. 10. Scotty ' s Camp Over-nite camping for trailers . Looks like some trailers are used for more than just over-nite . 11 . O. W. Smith 0 feet to 5 feet or more . Set- back can be checked where there are sidewalks . 12 . Sylmar Manor 0 feet to 5 feet or more . NOTE : After a check of all of the above Mobile Home Parks and talking to some of the owners or managers , 0 - 5 feet seemed to be the figure most specified as one they would accept . However, they think the $45 fee for inspection is too high. If a mobile home had a tongue , measurement would be from that point ; if no tongue, measurement should be from the mobile home itself . If the lot is defined with a street or sidewalk, or if lots are marked with stakes , setback measurements should be taken using these as the point of beginning. g f _ ilk im. • , .„silk -_ , , _ f ___ ... .7.1.11 _ ! _ - i _ I. , t - ,..
