Exposed ground surfaces in all parts of every mobile home park shall
be paved or covered with stone screenings or other solid material or protected
with a vegetative growth that is capable of preventing soil erosion and of
eliminating objectionable dust.
The ground surface in all parts of every mobile home park shall be graded
and equipped to drain all surface water in a safe, efficient manner and to
prevent standing water from accumulating under each mobile home.
The area of the mobile home stand shall be improved to provide an adequate
foundation for the placement and tie-down of the mobile home, thereby securing
the superstructure against uplift sliding, rotation and overturning.
A. The mobile home stand shall not heave, shift or settle
unevenly under the weight of the mobile home or due to frost action, inadequate
drainage, vibration or other forces acting on the superstructure. The mobile
home stand shall be either drilled piers or trench footers in accordance with
the specifications hereinafter set forth:
(1) Such drilled piers shall be:
(a) Constructed of cast in place concrete having a minimum
load-carrying capacity of 3,000 pounds per square inch;
(b) A diameter of not less than 18 inches;
(c) A depth of not less than 42 inches; and
(d) Spaced at intervals of not more than eight feet to 10
feet and centered to the mobile home frame rails.
(2) Such trench footers shall be:
(a) Constructed of cast in place concrete have a load-carrying
capacity of not less than 3,000 pounds per square inch;
(b) A width of not less than 18 inches;
(c) A depth of not less than 42 inches;
(d) Spaced at intervals of not more than eight feet to 10
feet; and
(e) Of sufficient length to accommodate the width of the
mobile home frame rails.
B. The mobile home stand shall be provided with anchors
and tie-downs such as cast-in-place concrete "dead men," eyelets imbedded
in concrete foundations. All anchors shall meet the requirements of state
and local codes.
C. Anchors and tie-downs shall be placed at least at each
corner of the mobile home stand, and each shall be able to sustain a minimum
tensile strength of 2,800 pounds.
Cooking shelters, barbecue pits, fireplaces and wood-burning stoves
shall be so located, constructed, maintained and used as to avoid fire hazards
and smoke nuisance both on the property on which used and on neighboring property.
No open fire shall be left unattended. No fuel shall be used and no material
