It shall be unlawful within the limits of the Township for any
person to park or locate any mobile home on any tract of land, occupied
or unoccupied, within the Township, except as provided in this chapter,
Chapter 510, Zoning, or other applicable ordinances of the Township.
No person shall allow any mobile home to stand upon any of the
streets or alleys in the Township without being attached to a licensed
and inspected motor vehicle capable of pulling the mobile home.
No person shall park any mobile home attached to a motor vehicle
on any street or alley in the Township for a period of time longer
than that allowed for the parking of vehicles upon such streets or
alleys by the applicable state laws and the ordinance of the Township
applicable to traffic and parking. Any person who shall violate this
section shall be subject to the penalties specifically provided in
such laws and ordinances, as the case may be.
No person shall occupy any mobile home for sleeping or living
quarters other than on a duly permitted mobile home lot in a mobile
home park; however, a mobile home may be erected and maintained as
a single-family detached dwelling outside a mobile home park when
the following requirements are met:
A. The lot upon which the mobile home is installed shall be located
within a zoning district which permits single-family detached dwellings
by right. Said lot and mobile home shall comply with all area and
bulk regulations and all supplemental regulations pertaining to single-family
detached dwellings within that district.
B. The mobile home shall be installed upon, and securely fastened to,
a frost-free foundation or footer, and in no event shall it be erected
on jacks, loose blocks, or other temporary materials.
C. An enclosure of compatible design and material, commonly called "skirting,"
shall be erected around the entire base of the mobile home. Such enclosure
shall provide sufficient ventilation to inhibit decay and deterioration
of the structure.
D. No mobile home shall be erected on a single lot unless a zoning permit
is first obtained in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 510,
Zoning, of the Code of the Township of Manheim.
