[Added at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General Provisions, Art. I)[1]]
[1]
Editor's Note: This article was originally adopted in 1979 by Ord. Nos. 53 and 53A, amended in its entirety in 1998 by Ord. No. 330 (Ch. 15.20 of the 1983 Municipal Code) and was relocated in this Zoning Chapter at the Town's request.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings indicated:
MANUFACTURED HOME
A structure which is fabricated in one or more sections at a location other than the construction site in the Town of Pinedale by assembly-line-type production techniques or by other construction methods unique to an off-site manufacturing process and is designed to be towed on its own chassis or be site delivered by an alternative means. This shall include, but not be limited to, so-called mobile homes, doublewide mobile homes, triple-wide mobile homes, modular structures and manufactured homes. Such a structure shall continue to be considered a manufactured home despite removal of tires, removal of wheels, removal of axles, despite the fact that such structure has been set upon a foundation or despite the fact that such structure has been attached to the ground in any manner.
Except where prohibited by covenants or other statutes, ordinances or regulations, a single manufactured home shall be permitted on a single lot in all zoning districts if it meets the following standards:
A. 
The structure is built in compliance with either the current Manufactured Home Construction and Safety Standards of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) or the current Uniform Building Code (UBC). Current standards shall be those in effect as of the date the related application for a building permit is applied for.
B. 
The structure is designed to be attached to a permanent foundation.
C. 
The structure shall include a permanent masonry or concrete perimeter wall that complies with all building codes adopted by the Town.
D. 
The structure shall not be less than 24 feet in width and shall include a minimum gross floor area of 1,000 square feet.
E. 
Roof material shall consist of nonreflective material customarily used for conventional dwellings, including, but not limited to, asbestos shingles, fiberglass shingles, shake shingles, wood shingles, composition shingles, or tile materials. All roofs shall have at least a nominal 4/12 pitch. Roof material shall not include flat or corrugated sheet metal, except for manufactured metal roof panels.
F. 
The facade of the structure shall incorporate window styles, including but not included to double-hung, casement, fixed, sliding, basement, awning, bay, bow, gothic and Palladian. Exterior siding materials shall consist of nonreflective material customarily used for conventional dwellings, including but not limited to wood shingles, wood shakes, vinyl, plywood, clapboard, aluminum, brick veneer, stone veneer, stucco, brick-face stucco or half timbering. Entrances may include pilasters and pediments.
G. 
The structure shall include a minimum roof overhang of 12 inches measured from the outside of the exterior wall.
H. 
All elements used in transporting the structure to the site, including tongue, towing devices, shall be removed from the construction site within 30 days of delivery. All wheels shall be removed from the structure.
A manufactured home which does not conform to the standards set out in § 475-200 shall be permitted only as provided in §§ 475-202 and 475-203, in a manufactured home court or park or a manufactured home subdivision; except that any legally existing manufactured home within the corporate limits of the Town, at the effective date of the ordinance codified in this article, may be continued to be occupied regardless of the fact that it does not conform to the standards set out in § 475-200; however, if active and continuous occupancy of such a nonconforming manufactured home ceases and is not carried on for a continuous period of one year, such nonconforming manufactured home must be removed. A nonconforming manufactured home may not be replaced in the event of destruction or removal.
Any part of the Town may be designated as a manufactured home district. The procedure whereby a manufactured home district is established shall be the same procedure as for the enactment of a Town ordinance. The Town may permit the new location of a nonconforming manufactured home only within a duly designated manufactured home district, and only after an applicant has applied for a manufactured home use permit and the Town has approved the permit, except that the Town may approve and issue a temporary manufactured home permit as provided in this article. The Town shall have the power to approve or disapprove any application for a manufactured home use permit if the location of said nonconforming manufactured home will materially adversely impact the other landowners in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location of the nonconforming manufactured home. The Town shall have the power to place specific limitations or restrictions upon the permittee's manufactured home use and shall have the power to place an expiration date upon any manufactured home use permit. The Town shall have the power to revoke a manufactured home use permit if a permittee fails to comply with limitations or restrictions placed upon a manufactured home use permit.
