Water should be prevented from entering or accumulating within the components. 5.2.3 New water and sewer systems, including on-site systems, must be located and designed to avoid impairment and minimize infiltration of floodwaters into the systems and discharges from the systems into floodwaters. 5.2.4 Any manufactured (mobile) home (including a recreational vehicle placed on a site for one-hundred-eighty (180) consecutive days or longer) shall be installed using methods and practices, which minimize flood damage. Elevation construction standards include piling foundations placed no more than ten (10) feet apart, and the provision of reinforcement for piers more than six feet above ground level. 5.2.5 The Building Inspector shall review all permit applications to determine whether proposed building sites will be reasonably safe from flooding. 10/02/2006 113

A registered professional engineer or architect shall review and/or develop structural designs, specifications, and shall certify that the design and methods of construction which are in accordance with acceptable standards of practice for meeting the provisions of this subsection. 5.3.4 All manufactured homes (including “mobile” homes placed on a site for one hundred eighty (180) consecutive days or longer) to be placed or substantially improve shall be: 5.3.4.1 Elevated so that the lowest floor is above the base flood elevation; and 5.3.4.2 Placed on a permanent foundation which itself is securely anchored and to which the structure is securely anchored so that it will resist flotation, lateral movement, and hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressures.
