The area of the mobile home stand shall be improved to provide an adequate foundation for the placement and tie down of the mobile home, thereby securing the superstructure against uplift, sliding, rotation and overturning.
(A) Construction. The mobile home stand shall be constructed in such a manner that it will not heave, shift or settle unevenly under the weight of the mobile home due to inadequate drainage, vibration or other forces acting on the superstructure. The mobile home stand shall be constructed at a minimum with six-inch deep by 30-inch wide poured concrete ribbons with a six by six number ten wire mesh reinforcing and of sufficient length to support all wheels and undercarriage supports of any mobile home that may be placed on the mobile home stand.
(B) Anchors required. The mobile home stand shall be provided with anchors, arrowhead anchors or other devices insuring the stability of the mobile home.
(C) Anchor design. Tie down or anchors shall be placed at least at each corner of the mobile home stand to provide a readily accessible anchor for the mobile home and each shall be able to sustain a minimum tensile strength of 2,800 pounds.
(D) Skirting required. Skirting of a permanent type material and construction shall be installed to enclose the open space between the bottom of a mobile home floor and the grade level of the mobile home stand and shall be so constructed to provide substantial resistance to heavy winds, thereby alleviating to the maximum extent possible lifting action created on the underside of the mobile home by heavy winds.
(E) Skirting standards. Sufficient screened, ventilating area shall be installed in the skirting to supply the combustion requirements of heating units and other ventilating requirements of the mobile home. Provision shall be made for easy removal of a section large enough to permit access for inspection of the enclosed area under the mobile home and for repairs on sewer and water riser connections.
(E) Skirting maintained. Skirting shall be maintained in an attractive manner consistent with the exterior of the mobile home and to preserve the appearance of the mobile home park.
