A. The new installation of a manufactured home within a floodway is prohibited.
B. A manufactured home and additions installed in a new location or as a replacement for an existing manufactured home in a special flood hazard area must be done in the following manner:
1. The manufactured home chassis is supported by reinforced piers or other foundation elements of at least equivalent strength, and is securely anchored to an adequately anchored foundation system to resist floatation, collapse, and lateral movement.
2. All manufactured homes shall be placed on pads or lots elevated on compacted fill, pilings, piers, stem walls or similar approved foundation design so that the bottom of the structural frame, or the lowest point of any attached appliances, whichever is lower, is to or above the regulatory flood elevation. If elevated:
a. The lots shall be large enough to permit steps;
b. The pilings shall be placed in a stable soil no more than ten feet apart; and
c. Reinforcement shall be provided for pilings more than six feet above ground level.
C. Upon completion of installation of the structure, the elevation of the lowest structural member or lowest point of any attached appliances, whichever is lower, shall be certified by a registered, professional engineer or surveyor, and verified by the community’s building inspector to be properly elevated. The certification and verification shall be provided to the floodplain administrator.
