    (5)

    The required site plan shall contain the precise location of all mobile homes and the exact maximum dimensions of each mobile home for its respective site.

    (6)

    (7)

    Design requirements with respect to streets, sidewalks and drainage may be waived by the board of county commissioners upon the recommendation of the county manager or designee.

The county shall be allowed access on privately owned roads, easements and common open space to ensure the police and fire protection of the area to meet emergency needs, to conduct county services and to generally ensure the health and safety of the residents of the development.
