a. 
Unless the manufactured home is to be located in an approved manufactured dwelling park, only one manufactured home shall be permitted on a lot.

k. 
The manufactured home shall be placed on an excavated and backfilled foundation and enclosed at the perimeter such that the manufactured home is located not more than 12 inches above grade.

If the manufactured home is to be removed from its permanent supports, the owner of the property shall agree in writing to remove the supports, the manufactured home, and all additions thereto from the property, and to permanently disconnect and secure all utilities. This agreement shall authorize the City to perform the work and place a lien against the property for the cost of the work in the event the owner fails to accomplish the work within 30 days from the date the manufactured home is to be removed from its supports. This condition shall not apply in the event that a placement permit for a replacement manufactured home has been approved by the City within 30 days of the removal of the original manufactured home. The replacement shall conform in all respects with the provisions of this chapter.
3. 
Permit Approval. The City Administrator shall review the information submitted under subsection (A)(1) of this section within 15 days to determine if it conforms to the standards required by subsection (A)(2) of this section.

a. 
The placement permit shall remain in effect for six months after the date of approval by the City. If the manufactured home has not been placed on the property by the end of the six months, the owner may request an extension not to exceed an additional six months. The permit is automatically canceled if the manufactured home has not been placed on the property by the end of the second six-month time period.
4. 
Occupancy. The manufactured home shall not be occupied until all provisions of this division, except the landscaping requirements, have been met, and the City Administrator and building official certify that all City and state requirements have been met.
