improved in the Flood Hazard District shall be anchored to ground anchors
by over-the-top and frame ties so as to resist flotation, collapse or lateral
movement. Specifically, each such manufactured home shall be secured to ground
anchors in the following manner:
(a) Over-the-top ties shall anchor the manufactured home
at each of the four corners of the home, with two additional ties per side
at intermediate points, except that manufactured homes less than 50 feet long
shall require only one such additional tie per side.
(b) Frame ties shall anchor the manufactured home at each
of the four corners of the home, with five additional ties per side at intermediate
points, except that manufactured homes less than 50 feet long shall require
only four such additional ties per side.
