(A) This section does not apply to mobile homes placed within approved mobile home parks or manufactured home communities as provided in § 156.039 of this chapter.
(B) Mobile homes shall be permitted as temporary uses within the jurisdiction of the municipality. Their placement as a temporary use is subject to the primary-use table and governed by this section.
(C) In the event that a single-family home has been damaged by any means and an improvement location permit has been issued for its replacement or reconstruction, the property owner may apply for an improvement location permit for a mobile home to be placed on the same property for a period not to exceed one year. No extensions of time shall be permitted by the Administrator.
(D) Application procedures and requirements shall be the same as for any other improvement location permit.
(E) Placement of the mobile home shall be subject to all use requirements and restrictions applicable to a single-family home.
(F) In addition to all other requirements, the property owner shall post a $1,000 cash bond in favor of the town, to be held by the Town Clerk. Said cash bond shall be returned without interest upon the removal of the mobile home and the issuance of a certificate of compliance for the constructed or reconstructed single-family home. Said cash bond may be drawn on by the Town Council at the Council’s discretion upon the advice of the Administrator that the property owner has failed to removed the mobile home either at the end of one year or within one week of the issuance of the certificate of compliance for the constructed or reconstructed single-family home, whichever occurs first. Said cash bond may be used to defray expenses incurred by the town for the removal of the mobile home or the legal costs directly associated with the enforcement of this section.
(G) This section is not intended, nor should it be construed, to limit the damages, whether legal or equitable, that the town may seek in the enforcement of this chapter, nor should this section be construed as authorizing any violation of this chapter, the subdivision ordinance or the designated uses of respective parcels of real estate.
