State Law reference— Compatibility Standard: R-2 Zone Qualified Manufactured Homes, KRS 100.346.

Prior to the issuance of a zoning permit, a Kentucky certified appraiser must complete an appraisal form showing the appraised value of the property after improvements and property must have a comparable value of the homes within a one-eighth (⅛) mile radius. The appraiser must certify the comparable value of the property. The City of Flatwoods may challenge any questionable appraisal.

Upon issuance of a zoning permit and submittal of construction plans, a building permit can be issued by the code enforcement officer. All construction must comply with the current Kentucky Residential Building Code.

No home or portion thereof shall be occupied until a certificate of occupancy is issued for the overall project.

Those considered manufactured prior to July 1, 2006 shall be permitted only in mobile home parks located in the Residential 2 (R-2) zone.

No mobile/manufactured home park shall be permitted on an area of less than two and one-half (2½) acres in size although the developer may be permitted to develop the park in stages as long as he complies with an overall plan approved by the planning commission for the entire tract. The number of mobile/manufactured homes permitted in the park shall not exceed a density of eighteen (18) mobile/manufactured homes per net acre (a net acre being the land subdivided into lots after streets and other requirement improvements have been installed).

Individual lots within a mobile/manufactured home park shall not be less than two thousand four hundred (2,400) square feet in area and no more than one (1) mobile or manufactured home shall be permitted on a single lot. The minimum lot width shall be forty (40) feet.

No mobile/manufactured home or accessory building or structure shall be located closer to any street than the minimum front yard setback for permanent residential structures along said street. Where the mobile/manufactured home park is not bounded by a dedicated street, the minimum setback shall be thirty (30) feet.

No mobile/manufactured home shall be located within thirty (30) feet of another mobile/manufactured home except that a minimum end to end clearance of not less than twenty (20) feet shall be permitted and in instances where the size opposite the entrance of two (2) mobile/manufactured home face each other the amount of space between the two (2) mobile/manufactured homes may be reduced to not less than twenty-five (25) feet.

All lots within the mobile/manufactured home park shall be provided with sewer, water and electrical facilities meeting the standards specified by city, county, and state regulations, and each mobile/manufactured home shall be properly connected to utilities.

No accessory structures or buildings, including patios, shall be located within five (5) feet of any individual lot line.

The prospective developer, before attempting to obtain a building permit or beginning any construction, shall prepare a plan showing the lot dimensions and bearings of the parcel he intends to develop, location with respect to the city, general layout or design he intends to follow and improvements he expects to install on the land. He shall then meet with the planning commission, the purpose being to inform the developer of any plans the city may have that would affect his plan to insure that the developer's plans are not in conflict with the city's future land use plan. This meeting would also form a common ground whereby the planning commission and the prospective developer could reach an understanding of the types of improvements necessary. After approval by the panning commission, the prospective developer shall meet with the board of adjustment and request the necessary conditional use approval. At this time, the board of adjustment may make conditional requirements as stipulated in Article VI.

*** For each year this ordinance is in force, the year of manufacture shall be moved forward one (1) year.

There would always be a minimum difference of five (5) calendar years.
