A mobile home that, at the time of the passage of this amendment, was located in an area other than an area zoned for mobile homes, may be replaced, with a variance first being obtained from the Building Inspector, provided the following terms and conditions are met:
(a) That the mobile home was destroyed to an extent rendering the same unfit for habitation by fire, windstorm or any other form of accident, misfortune or calamity;
(b) That the mobile home owner applies for an automatic replacement variance within fifteen days from the date of the damage or destruction to the original mobile home;
(c) That the replacement home is placed on a permanent foundation of poured concrete or cement block with poured concrete footers;
(d) That no more than one mobile home may be placed on one platted lot within the Municipality areas zoned for mobile homes;
(e) That the replacement mobile home must be of an age equal to or newer than the mobile home which was damaged or destroyed;
(f) That a variance is obtained from the Building Inspector;
(g) That a detailed diagram of the siding and foundation or skirting is filed with the Building Inspector;
(h) That the home is connected to the Municipal sewer and water lines and has Municipal trash removal service; and
(i) That a home may be installed within ninety days of obtaining a permit under this section. Failure to obtain a variance or permit within fifteen days or install a home within ninety days automatically terminates the right to obtain or utilize this variance and/or permit. If the owner has not applied for a variance within fifteen days or utilized the permit within ninety days, it shall become void and the owner shall be required to apply for a Class I variance.
