Further density control would be determined by method of sewage disposal and water supply, and Health Department standards applicable to each. (Article 7 .20. 4 J. ) (2) Requirements for patios and decks have been deleted. Mobile home entrances vary by type of unit. Each time a mobile home is replaced, patios and decks would have to be shifted. (Article 7 . 20.4B) (3) Specific setback distances from mobile home space boundaries have been deleted. Instead, spacing requirements between units have been used to allow owner/operators more flexibility in placement of units on lots. The minimum spacing required between individual units is 20 feet. A 22-foot set-back requirement is mandated between a mobile home and the street on which the space fronts.
