by Ord. Nos. 53 and 53A, amended in its entirety in 1998 by Ord. No.

As used in this article, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
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.
No person shall park, place or occupy as a manufactured
home within the corporate limits of the Town, except as provided in
this article.
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.

and shall include a minimum gross floor area of 1,000 square feet.

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.

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.
Any person who parks, places or occupies a manufactured home within the corporate limits of the Town, in violation of this article or any amendment to this article, shall be subject to the general penalty as provided in Chapter 1, Article IV, General Penalty, for each violation, and each day’s continuation of such violation shall be considered a separate violation. Furthermore, this article shall be enforceable, in addition to the other remedies provided by law, by injunction, mandamus or abatement.
In accordance with § 475-202, the following manufactured home districts are established and designated:

by the Town.

a building permit is applied for.

manufactured homes.
F.
