Each mobile home permit application shall be in writing, in triplicate,

information:

number, if available or appropriate.

This plan must show the following:

(5) The location of all other structures on the premises.

which indicates that the applicant is the owner of such land.
E. A description of the foundation.
Each mobile home shall be set upon a foundation constructed as follows:
B. Type of construction: perimeter foundation; or lateral
runners; or longitudinal runners; or pillars; or Alaskan slab.
C. Manner of construction:
(1) The foundation shall extend 36 inches below ground level.
(2) The foundation shall contact and support the mobile home
structural frame in a sufficient number of places to adequately support said
mobile home.
(3) The structural frame of said mobile home shall be attached
to the foundation in not less than six places, located in accordance with
good engineering practice. Each attaching device shall be capable of withstanding
a tension force of at least 2,800 pounds.
(4) The mobile home foundation shall not exceed a height
of 48 inches above ground level.
The mobile home foundation shall be enclosed by a skirt securely fastened
and extending from the outside wall of the mobile home to ground level around
the entire perimeter of the mobile home. The skirt shall be constructed of
sturdy wood, plastic, vinyl, masonry or metal material capable of withstanding
extreme weather conditions over extended periods of time. No skirt shall be
required where a perimeter foundation fully encloses the area between the
unit and the ground level.
No occupied mobile home or travel trailer shall be parked or allowed
to remain upon any street, highway or other public place, except that emergency
stopping or parking, when caused by mechanical failure, shall be permitted
upon the shoulder of any street or highway for a period of not more than 72
hours, subject, however, to any prohibition or limitation imposed by other
regulations or laws.
Any permit for a mobile home outside of a mobile home park may be revoked
when it is found to be in violation of this Part 1. The Building Inspector
or Code Enforcement Officer shall inspect the mobile home site within two
weeks after the permittee occupies the mobile home.
A. Should the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer
find that conditions exist which are in violation of any provision of this
Part 1, he shall give notice, in writing, to the permittee that unless such
conditions or practices are corrected within 30 days, the permit will be revoked.
B. If at the end of 30 days a further inspection reveals
that the conditions or practices have not been corrected, the Building Inspector
or Code Enforcement Officer shall then remove the permit and give notice of
such, in writing, to the permittee and the Town Board. Upon revocation of
the permit, the water supply and sewage disposal system shall be disconnected
and the mobile home shall not be occupied.
C. Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provision of this Part
1 may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Town Board (see §
91-18).
D. It shall be the responsibility of the applicant to make
an appointment with the Building Inspector or Code Enforcement Officer to
have the site inspected.
A mobile home which is lawfully in existence prior to the enactment
of this Part 1, but not located in a mobile home park, may continue to be
used as living quarters by its occupants, and an existing permit will be issued,
provided that the water and sewage systems meet the minimum requirements of
the New York State Department of Health. If the owner of the land desires
to remove an existing mobile home and substitute a different mobile home,
such owner shall file an application for a permit.
