All H.U.D. approved manufactured or modular homes, or mobile homes manufactured before June 15, 1976 with a valid rehabilitation certificate (pre-H.U.D.), that are in compliance with the requirements of Idaho Code and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and that bear an insignia of approval by the state where they were constructed, are considered to be single family dwellings and shall be treated as such in this code.
In order for any of these manufactured buildings to be installed and occupied within the City of Deary a valid installation permit (and foundation or other permits when applicable) must be issued by the City of Deary, zoning approval must be gained, inspections must be passed, and a certificate of occupancy must be obtained, under the same general requirements as any other single family dwelling (including but not limited to sewer, water and approach approvals and 180 day limitations), with the following additional requirements and modifications:
A. Applications for installation permits shall also contain the license number and name of the contractor and licensed installer.
B. All installations shall meet the minimum requirements as set forth in the State-approved installation instruction for the specific unit or model, or in the current Idaho Manufactured Home Installation Standard, whichever is stricter.
C. Every installation requires a permit, including but not limited to moving from one space to another in a legally approved manufactured home park or placing a different home in a space that had a previous home in a legally approved manufactured home park.
D. A building permit is required and must be obtained for any remodel or change to the interior or exterior of a manufactured building before any work may be performed. No structural changes or additions can be constructed on a manufactured building without submittal of plans stamped by an engineer licensed in the State of Idaho. Manufactured buildings cannot change occupancy.
E. Permits shall not be issued for any manufactured home manufactured more than twenty (20) years prior to the date of the permit application. This shall apply to all new permit applications received after August 1, 2019, unless a variance is granted by the City Council.
F. The minimum roof snow load for new manufactured homes in Deary is 30 pounds per square foot (psf). Applications for installation permits for manufactured and mobile homes with a roof snow load that is less than 60 psf must be accompanied by a snow load disclosure form signed by the owner that acknowledges that the snow load in Deary is 60 psf, that the manufactured/mobile home’s roof snow load is inadequate, and roof may be subject to collapse. A snow load disclosure form is not required for manufactured homes that meet or exceed the snow load specified for Deary. (Ord. 389, 1-13-2021)
