(A) Sites on which homes are installed prior to July 1, 1998 shall have a support system as required by the Mobile Home Park Act in effect at the time of installation.
(B) Homes installed after July 1, 1998 shall be installed on a level support system capable of supporting the design load of the home. The support system shall consist of a minimum three and one- half inches thick concrete pad, runners or pier. The support system shall be placed on undisturbed soil or compacted material. Alternative equivalent systems may be submitted for approval by the Zoning Officer. Pads shall be the approximate dimensions of the home. Runners shall be either parallel or perpendicular to the length of the home. Runners that are parallel with the length of the home shall be a minimum of 20 inches wide, extend the approximate length of the home and be located so that blocking rests entirely on the runners. Runners that are perpendicular to the length of the home shall be a minimum of 12 inches wide, extend the approximate width of the home and be spaced at a maximum eight-foot intervals center to center along the length of the home. Pier blocks shall bear entirely on the pier support system. The manufactured home community owner is responsible for determining that the support system is adequate for the specific soil conditions. A copy of manufactured home installation guidelines is available from the Zoning Officer.
(C) The support system can extend below the frost depth to prevent the home from shifting as a result of the freezing and thawing of the soil. The entire support system must be installed at the same approximate depth to prevent damage to the home from frost heave.
(D) The ground and impervious surfaces surrounding the perimeter of the home shall be sloped to direct all surface water away from the home for sites constructed after July 1, 1998.
