All immobilized mobile homes located in the City shall be classified as real estate; therefore, it is mandatory for all persons owning, operating, renting or leasing an existing mobile home outside a mobile home park to locate such mobile home on a permanent perimeter foundation which extends below the established frost depth. The foundation shall extend into the ground below the frost line so as to attach and become a part of the real estate. Materials such as concrete, mortared concrete block, or mortared brick extending into the ground below the frost line shall satisfy the requirements for a permanent foundation. The owner or lessor shall remove or cause to have removed the wheels or any other transportation device from the mobile home. The owner or lessor shall permanently fix it to the ground in a manner that conforms to the definition of an immobilized mobile home in this Code. All existing mobile homes, when replaced, shall comply with the immobilization provisions of this Code.
