Regulations for Orchard Way

Welcome to Orchard Way! We hope your stay in this park will be a pleasant experience. We have formulated these rules and guidelines in the interest of preserving uniformity and quality of standards, convenience and enjoyment of all persons interested in living here. Your cooperation with the management in the enforcement of these guidelines will help assure a comfortable living environment for all Residents.

A Deposit equivalent to one month's lot rent, an approved Application and a signed Lease Agreement are required in order to secure a lot. All residents must be registered in the office prior to occupancy within the Park. Each person living in the mobile home must be registered in the Park office.

All mobile homes must be placed on the lot or removed from the Park under the Management's supervision. All mobile home accessory structures and buildings, decks, etc. must be approved before placement. Mobile homes must be underpinned with vinyl skirting within 30 days of entry into the Park. You need to check with the Park management before doing any digging. All plantings become the property of the Park. Patio furniture and barbeque equipment are the only items permitted outside of the mobile home.

Lots will be maintained by each resident in a clean, well-kept, and attractive fashion. If Park personnel have to work on a neglected lot, there will be a charge of $30.00 to $75.00 depending on the amount of work that has to be done. If park personnel have to mow or otherwise clean up your lot, we will not be responsible for any damage that may occur to mobile homes or vehicles during the mowing. The Park is not responsible for any damage which may occur during lawn work done by you or by someone you hire to do this work. We feel that you should know when your lot needs mowing or cleaning up. If you have problems with lot maintenance, call the office and we will try to help you. It is not possible for us to give advanced warning notice before we tend your lot.

The owner of the Park and its employees shall not be responsible for damage, injury, or loss by accident, theft, fire or Acts of God, to either persons or property of any resident or guest.
No residents or their guests will be allowed to engage in any conduct within a mobile home, on a lot or anywhere in the Park that may be reasonably determined to constitute a substantial annoyance to other residents. We will expect any activities of this nature to stop immediately upon notification from Management.

Loud and boisterous noise which is objectionable to the general population will not be tolerated. Public drunkenness or immoral conduct can result in eviction from the Park. Good judgment and thoughtfulness for others should be used in the playing of musical instruments, stereos, radios, TV, etc. The operation of such equipment is permitted provided that the noise level is adjusted so as not to disturb other residents.

No firearms, bows, arrows, air rifles or other weapons shall be discharged or displayed in the Park.

Spray painting in the Park is not allowed
No burning is allowed.

PETS ARE ALLOWED ONLY IF PROPER REGISTRATION FORMS ARE ON FILE.

No peddling, soliciting or commercial enterprise is allowed within the Park without written permission from the Management.

No clothes lines or outside drying of clothes is allowed.

Parking on the lots is not allowed.

Put at least 3" size lot numbers on your mobile home where they can be seen from the road. This will help facilitate package delivery and the 911 services if they are called.

The lots are to be used for residential purposes in a manner that does not disturb the peaceful enjoyment of any part of the premises of this Park by any resident. Management may require a resident to vacate the premises if they become a nuisance, conduct themselves improperly, fail to pay rent on a timely basis, or continually violate any Park rules. The Management reserves the right to refuse admittance and accommodations to anyone for reasonable cause. Residents are responsible for their children and guests and will be charged for any damages caused by their actions.

Water lines shall only be of material recommended for use as mobile home water line. Garden hose is unacceptable, as it will not take the pressure. Recommended foam type insulation is required as a minimum and there is a heat tape available. It is required that you put a check valve on your water line, in case, for maintenance reasons, the water has to be turned off; this valve helps to prevent the loss of your water heater element. The Park is not responsible for replacing the elements.

Sewage Line connections shall be odor and leak proof and installed to eliminate sagging. All sewer pipes need to be 3 inch semi-rigid plastic, minimum 3/32 inch thick. Fittings must be 1/4 inch thick of the same material. Metal or flexible sewer drains are not acceptable. Orchard Way is not responsible for damage or stoppage of the sewage line before it reaches the main line or in the main line when damage or stoppage is due to flushing of articles such as paper towels, tampons, sanitary napkins, etc. If you have stoppage in your lines, contact the Park office for referral to the line cleaning service to use. Access to sewage lines cannot be blocked by decks, steps, etc.

Electricity is available at each lot with 110 and 220 volt service. A licensed electrician is required to perform any electrical work at your lot or in your mobile home. All homes must meet the Lee County specifications as regards electrical hook-up.

Tie Downs are required by law. Placement of tie downs must be cleared through the office to prevent any damage. If damage is done to improperly placed tie downs, you will be responsible for making immediate repairs.

Fence Locations must be approved by Management. All fences must be professional installed chain link and if necessary, will be removed for maintenance or repair of utilities or moving of mobile homes. It is the responsibility of the homeowner to rebuild the fence. Any structure, including fencing that is set in concrete or on a poured concrete slab becomes the property of the park.

Speed Limit in this park is 15mph. All local traffic laws and traffic signs must be obeyed. Your safety and that of others, especially children, demands that traffic laws and rules be adhered to. Continual disregard of the law will result in eviction from the Park.

For their safety, children shall not be allowed free access to the Park. Play should be confined to recreational areas with parental supervision or in their own yard.

Any damage to a lot or street will be repaired at the resident's expense.

Swimming Pool hours are from 10am until dark, weather permitting. No glass containers or alcoholic beverages are allowed. Garbage containers are available for trash. Obscene language, screaming, yelling or excessive loud music will not be tolerated. Children under 17 years of age must be accompanied by an adult parent or legal guardian. No running, horseplay, or pets allowed in pool area and there is ABSOLUTELY NO DIVING ALLOWED AT ALL! PERSONS WHO DIVE IN THE POOL WILL BE ASKED TO LEAVE AND MAY LOSE ALL POOL PRIVILEDGES. There is no lifeguard on duty - swim at your own risk. Residents are required to have an ID before using the pool and must obtain a pass for any guest. Please check with the office to secure these.

Pets will be allowed only with permission in writing from the Management and proper registration. There is a form in the office to take care of these requirements. Cats must be registered with the office. Cats tend to walk on cars, go to neighboring lots, and even get under mobile homes. For this reason, we ask that you contain your cat to your lot. Also, we must have proof of current rabies vaccinations. DOGS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO RUN FREE IN THE PARK. They must be inside a fence or you must be with it. If your dog is seen running free in the park, you will be given a warning. The next time this happens, you may have to remove the dog from the park. This also applies to excessive barking which is disturbing neighbors or an unpleasant odor because you are not keeping your yard clean. If Park personnel picks up your dog because it is running free, there will be a $25.00 pick up fee paid before you get the dog back. We will not allow residents to keep, board, or otherwise hold the animals of others, either temporarily or permanently.

Rent is due on the 1st day of each month and delinquent after the 5th. There will be a late charge of $15.00 after the 5th. There is a $25.00 service charge on any check returned by the bank. When a check is returned for insufficient funds, this causes rent to be late and the late charge will also apply.

Owners will be responsible for making sure their roommates and/or guests are fully aware of the Park rules.

Mobile homes that have not sold within 6 months of going on the market may have to be moved out of the park.

MOBILE HOMES CANNOT BE LEFT IN THE PARK TO BE USED AS RENTAL PROPERTY WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM MANAGEMENT. ALL PERSONS AND MOBILE HOMES ENTERING THE PARK MUST HAVE PRIOR APPROVAL THROUGH THE PARK OFFICE.
