Hyde Park City Zoning Code
§ 108-26.2
Existing nonconforming manufactured homes and parks.
A.
An existing nonconforming manufactured home, not in a licensed manufactured home park, may remain with the following restrictions:
(1)
If the manufactured home is destroyed by accident or by act of God, either partially or completely, it may be repaired or replaced by a similar type of manufactured home on the same lot, provided that the setback requirements of § 108-5.15 are complied with. The replacement of the manufactured home may not exceed 150% of the square footage of the original manufactured home.
(2)
Any replacement manufactured home must be less than 10 years old.
(3)
An application fee established by the Town Board and set forth in a fee schedule shall accompany a request for a replacement manufactured home.
(4)
The anchoring and structure must meet the current NYS Building Code.
B.
An existing manufactured home within a nonconforming licensed manufactured home park may remain with the following restrictions:
(1)
Any manufactured home in a manufactured home park may be replaced with another manufactured home. A replacement manufactured home may be placed on a new or previously existing pad in any existing licensed manufactured home park within the lot, provided the location of the replacement manufactured home meets the following:
(a)
It conforms to or exceeds the standards of separation generally existing in the park but in any case is no closer than 12 feet to an existing manufactured home or any extension from it.
(b)
It is set back from all property boundary lines as much or more than the predecessor home. If the location of the predecessor home exceeded a required setback, the replacement home need only meet such required setback. A replacement manufactured home placed in a different location in the park must conform to the required setbacks for a manufactured home park.
(c)
All applicable building and fire safety code standards shall be observed in the installation of the manufactured home.
(d)
The anchoring and structure must meet the current NYS Building Code.
(e)
There is no required minimum width for a replacement manufactured home.
(2)
Before a replacement manufactured home is placed on the same lot or location within an existing park, a plot plan, drawn to scale, showing the location of the replacement manufactured home on the lot on which it is to be located, together with the location of homes and the boundary line of the park on each adjacent lot, shall be submitted to the Zoning Administrator. Where no lot lines exist for individual lots within a manufactured home park, a lot line shall be deemed to exist equidistant from two adjacent manufactured homes unless a parking apron, accessory structure or other circumstances require the location of an adjacent lot line at a different location.
(3)
Before a replacement manufactured home is placed on a different lot or location within an existing park, site plan approval by the Planning Board is required.
(4)
Any replacement manufactured home must be less than 10 years old.
(5)
An application fee established by the Town Board and set forth in a fee schedule shall accompany a request for a replacement manufactured home.
(6)
No carport, covered patio or similar addition, whether enclosed or not, shall be placed closer to any manufactured home lot line than 10 feet.
