(A) Outside mobile home parks, the owner of a manufactured home shall also be the owner of the tax lot on which the home is placed. No individual lots or portions of lots outside parks shall be rented or leased for the placement of a manufactured home. However, a home and lot may be rented or leased together as a single unit. An exception may be taken by the approving authority of the city in the case of a temporary dwelling, a caretaker's residence or similar circumstances.
(B) Upon installation on the site, the owner shall ensure the removal of all appliances or other attachments that were necessary for the transport of the home to the site, but that are not necessary for the residential use of the structure; including wheels, axles, tongues, trailers and the like.
(C) All manufactured homes shall be connected to any and all public utility lines, as required of any other single-family dwelling, at the time of initial installation or, in the case of an older home, at the time of relocation or major rehabilitation.
(D) Manufactured homes shall be installed in compliance with the skirting as required by State Department of Commerce rules O.A.R. 813-23-050 through 813-23-070.
(E) The home shall be placed to provide a minimum clear space under the structure's lowest supporting beam of 18 inches. Access to this space shall be provided by an access way at least 18 inches by 24 inches in size in a location that is most convenient to under-structure utility connections, but that is not at the low point or water collection point.
(F) An under-structure drainage system shall be designed and constructed to ensure that water will drain properly to the street or other approved storm drain or collection area. Site preparation prior to the home's installation shall ensure that the excavation is tapered toward one end or a center channel for efficient drainage, and that a drain line or pump is installed to remove any water that may collect.
(G) Installation, support and tie-down requirements must meet State Department of Commerce rules in O.A.R. 813-23-050 through 813-23-070.
