(3) Public utilities, including water and sewer service, shall be extended to each manufactured home lot. All utilities within the development shall be located underground; and both the water and sewer systems shall be connected to the public system serving the City.

(4) Manufactured home subdivisions shall be designed and built with public streets.

(5) All manufactured home subdivisions, at the time of subdivision development and on a subdivision basis, shall provide open space as denoted in Table No. 10. Open space shall be calculated on net acres, defined as the total acres exclusive of the area required for arterial or collector street right-of-way dedications and public site reservations.

(D) Recommended Architectural Standards (Subdivisions).

(1) The individual manufactured homes should be designed and situated to assure similarity in exterior appearance, and in keeping with the architectural character of site-built dwellings and the character of the surrounding neighborhood in general.

(2) The residential structure should have a strong relationship to the neighborhood street. A walkway from the street to the front entry is strongly encouraged.

(3) Front porches and courtyards are strongly encouraged and should provide a pedestrian connection, other than the driveway, to the street.

(4) All buildings and/or structures in conjunction with a permitted or conditional use, other than the single-dwelling manufactured home, shall be of conventional (site-built) construction.

(5) Minimum Width. The placement of a double-wide or 24-foot-wide unit, exclusive of any garage or carport area, is strongly encouraged on an individual lot within an MH subdivision.

(6) Grading. Unless the topography of a particular lot precludes it, the manufactured home shall be installed no higher from grade than 18 inches (from ground to frame) on the highest side; and not less than 12 inches on the lowest side. The Building Official is authorized to approve minor deviations from the height requirement after inspection of the property to determine such deviation is necessary because of lot conformity.

(7) Foundations. The manufactured home shall be pit set and placed on an excavated foundation with permanent stem wall so that the home appears to have a foundation wall similar in appearance and kind to conventional site-built homes. Such installation shall render the dwelling no more portable than if it were constructed totally on site.

(8) Exterior Building Materials. The exterior building façade including the trim, doors, windows, roof fascias, and the like, shall consist of wood, stucco, horizontal siding, brick, masonry veneer, or other facsimile of a building material commonly used in site-built residential construction; provided, however, that metal siding, other than aluminum lap siding, shall be prohibited. Patio covers and detached storage buildings shall be exempt from this requirement.

(9) Roof Structure and Materials. All roof structures shall be sloped and provide an eave projection of no less than six inches and no greater than 24 inches. Unfinished galvanized steel, unfinished aluminum, wood shake shingles, or fiberglass/asphalt shingles less than 325 pounds per 100 square feet shall not be permitted.

(10) Mechanical Equipment. All manufactured home running gear, tongues, axles, and wheels must be removed at the time of installation. Mechanical equipment such as electrical meter, coolers and air conditioning units, service components, water filters, propane tanks, and similar devices, whether ground level or wall mounted, shall be screened from public view and designed to appear as an integral part of the building.

(11) Garages or Carports. The manufactured home shall have at a minimum a single-car garage or carport the design and materials of which shall be compatible with the main structure.

(12) Accessory Structures. Uncovered porches, decks, or verandas are permitted on the side and rear of the home provided they meet the setback requirements of this title.

(13) Steps. If the dwelling unit has steps leading to the front entry the steps shall be attached to a permanent foundation and designed and constructed to be an integral part of the exterior of the dwelling unit.

(14) Anchor Ties. The structure shall be anchored to the ground, in accordance with approved manufactured home installation standards for high wind areas.

(15) Additions. All additions and alterations shall be in compliance with the current building code as adopted by the City or in compliance with the most current HUD code standards and the housing manufacturer’s specifications, whichever is more restrictive.
