Any single-family dwelling, whether constructed and erected on a lot, or a manufactured home, shall be permitted outside a manufactured home park only if it complies with all of the following requirements:
(A) The dwelling shall meet the minimum square footage requirements for the district in which it is located.
(B) Design features:
(1) The minimum width across any front, side, or rear architectural elevation shall be at least 24 continuous feet of exterior wall.
(2) All dwellings shall have either a roof overhang of not less than ten inches on all sides, or alternatively with window sills and roof drainage systems concentrating roof drainage at collection points along the sides of the dwelling.
(3) The dwelling shall contain permanently attached steps connected to exterior door areas or to porches connected to said door areas where a difference in elevation requires the same.
(4) The dwelling shall not contain additions or rooms or other areas which are not constructed with similar quality work as the original structure, including permanent attachment to the principal structure and construction of a foundation as required herein.
(5) The dwelling shall contain an interior storage area in a habitable basement or cellar located under the dwelling, or in a defined storage room space separate from closet areas, garage, utility or furnace rooms. The minimum storage area shall be equal to 10% of the square footage of the dwelling or 100 square feet, whichever shall be less.
(6) Laundry facilities shall be required.
(C) The dwelling shall conform to the Village Building Code and all other pertinent construction and fire codes. Where a dwelling is required by law to comply with any federal or state standards or regulations for construction and where such standards or regulations allow standards of construction which are less stringent than those imposed by the Building Code in effect in the village, then in that event, the less stringent federal or state standard or regulation shall apply. Additionally, all dwellings shall meet or exceed all applicable roof snow load and strength requirements.
(D) In the case of a manufactured home, all construction and all plumbing, electrical apparatus and insulation within and connected to said manufactured home shall be of a type and quality conforming to the "Mobile Home Construction and Safety Standards" as promulgated by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development, being 24 CFR 3280, and as from time to time such standards may be amended.
(E) The dwelling shall be placed upon and secured to a permanent foundation in accordance with the Village Building Code. The area between the grade elevation of the lot and the structure shall have a wall of the same perimeter dimensions of the dwelling and constructed of such materials and type as required in the applicable code for single-family dwellings.
(F) If the dwelling has wheels, towing mechanisms or undercarriages, they shall be removed.
(G) The dwelling shall be connected to a public sanitary sewer.
(H) The dwelling shall be aesthetically compatible in design and appearance with other residences in the vicinity.
(1) The compatibility of design and appearance shall be determined in the first instance by the Zoning Administrator upon review of the plans (which may include elevational sketches or photographs) submitted for a particular dwelling, subject to appeal by an aggrieved party to the Zoning Board of Appeals within a period of 15 days from the receipt of notice of said Zoning Administrator's decision.
(2) Any determination of compatibility shall be based upon the standards set forth in this division regarding dwellings as well as the character, design and appearance of one or more residential dwellings located outside of mobile home parks within 900 feet of the subject dwelling where such area is developed with dwellings to the extent of not less than 20% of the lots situated within said area; or where said area is not so developed, by the character, design and appearance of one or more residential dwellings located outside of manufactured home parks throughout the village.
(I) The requirements of this section shall not be construed to prohibit innovative design concepts involving such matters as solar energy, view, unique land contour, or relief from the common or standard designed home.
(J) The foregoing standards shall not apply to manufactured homes located in a state licensed manufactured home park except as required by state or federal law or otherwise specifically required in any village ordinance pertaining to such parks.
