DA TE November 14, 1983
Our investigation disclosed the following:
1,' Au'drey Smith applied for a Mobile Home Placement Permit on October 12;
1983.
2. The site is identified as being within a regulatory f1oodway.
3. Ms. Smith paid $100.40 for the permit application. The fee ,receipt
includes the following: $10.00 Floodplain
10.00 SDS
62.50 Mobile Home
10.00 Plumbing
2.90 State Surcharge
5.00 DEQ Surcharge
4. Permit - #1812-83 was issued on 10-17-83. The permit authorize'd the
placement of a mobile home conditioned by:
A. Certification that the first floor elevation is at or above 447.8
feet; and
B, Mobile home tiedowns required to be installed.
These conditions are to be ready for inspection within 30 days after
occupancy.
5. Due to the size of the mobile home a minimum of 14 tiedowns are required.
This information is included in the packet.
6. When Ms. Smith recieved her mobile home permit she was informed of all
requirements.
The mobile home was undoubtedly moved to the site before the permit was
issued.
Ms. Smith needs to install the required tiedowns and call for an inspection
and have her surveyors submit the certification of elevation as required on
the permi t.
It is fairly common to have individuals in mobile placement locate their
mobile homes before obtaining a permit. We need to identify methods to
require movers of mobile homes to be more accountable. I believe we should
attempt Legislation next session that would prohibit movement and set-up
without permits from building departments.
