D.

Mobile home community.

(1)

This land use is a form of residential development that is exclusively reserved for individually sold or rented pads or sites containing mobile homes and/or manufactured homes. It is the intent of this article to recognize mobile homes as distinct and different factory-built units from units designated as manufactured homes within the definitions of this chapter. The main difference between these two types of homes is their status under federal law. "Mobile home" refers to homes built prior to June 15, 1976, when the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development instituted a new construction standard for factory-built homes. "Manufactured home" refers to homes built to the new, higher standard of quality under the Federal Building Code. The placement or replacement of mobile homes built before June 15, 1976, is not permitted anywhere within the jurisdiction of this chapter.

No mobile or manufactured home site shall be rented for a period of less than 30 days.

(f)

Wrecked, damaged, dilapidated, or abandoned mobile or manufactured homes shall not be kept or stored upon any premises. The building inspector shall determine if a mobile home is abandoned, wrecked, damaged, or dilapidated to a point that makes it unfit for human occupancy without an investment in the mobile or manufactured home that is greater than 50 percent of its assessed value. Whenever the building inspector so determines and declares a public nuisance under chapter 382, he or she shall notify the licensee or landowner and owner of the mobile home in writing, giving the findings upon which his determination is based, and shall order such home removed or repaired to a safe and sanitary condition of occupancy.

(g)

A buffer yard meeting the requirements of section 520-79.C(4) shall be provided and continuously maintained along all property borders abutting single-family residentially zoned property.

(h)

(m)

No less than ten percent of the total area of any mobile home community shall be devoted to common recreational areas and facilities, including but not limited to playgrounds, community swimming pools, community buildings, and off-street recreation trails. Areas included in the calculation of common recreational facilities shall not include streets or parking areas.

(n)

Access for pedestrians and cyclists entering or leaving the community shall be by safe and convenient routes. Pedestrian and bicycle crossings shall be safely located, marked, and controlled.

(o)

There shall be safe, efficient, convenient, and harmonious groupings of structures, uses, and facilities, and for appropriate relation of space inside and outside buildings to intended uses and structural features. Streets shall be arranged so as to discourage outside traffic from traversing the community.

(p)

Pedestrian walkways shall form a logical, safe, and convenient system for pedestrian access to all dwellings, project facilities, and principal off-street pedestrian destinations.

Post-frame single-family detached residence.

(1)

A single-family detached residence is a dwelling unit designed for and occupied by not more than one family and having no roof, wall, or floor in common with any other dwelling unit, and located on an individual lot. The dwelling unit must be built in compliance with the State of Wisconsin Uniform Dwelling Code (UDC). Post-frame buildings use high-quality, large sawn timber or laminated columns spaced. Generally, they are built on a concrete slab instead of a basement foundation. The concrete floor can be added after the posts have been embedded into the ground or the posts can be anchored directly to the concrete slab. Post-frame homes don't require interior support walls. The frame in post-frame buildings consists of the posts and trusses creating one structural unit. This creates large open spaces in the house and wider openings for doors and windows.

(2)

Performance standards. The following performance standards shall apply to each post-frame single-family detached residence constructed, except that any of the standards in subsection A(2)(a) through (h) may be waived or modified by conditional use permit, upon a finding that the architectural style of the proposed residence provides compensating design features and that the proposed residence will be compatible and harmonious with other residences in the vicinity:

Q.

Geothermal energy system (GES).

(1)

A geothermal energy system (GES) is a central heating and/or cooling system that uses the moderate temperatures of subsurface ground or a body of water to assist with the heating or cooling of a building or a building's water. A GES requires an underground heat exchanger, in the form of a network of underground or underwater pipes or tubes filled with a liquid medium (refrigerant, water mixed with antifreeze, or water). The liquid medium within the heat exchanger is transferred between a structure and the heat exchanger via pumps. In an open loop GES, groundwater or surface water is continuously drawn from an outside source through the heat exchanger pipes and discharged after use. In a closed loop GES, the system is designed so that heat exchanger fluid does not come in direct contact with soils, groundwater, or surface water.

(2)

Performance standards:

(a)

Mechanical pumps used to move water between heat exchanger structures shall be located entirely within principal or accessory structures.

(b)

Underground GES pipes or tubes shall be set back a minimum of ten feet from any lot line, public right-of-way, buried utility line, utility easement, and permanently protected natural resource area.

(c)

Underground GESs shall comply with state requirements regarding setbacks from private or public water wells.

(f)

All activities, materials, structures, and products associated with the installation and maintenance of a GES shall comply with applicable state-approved standards and drilling permit procedures and shall meet the certification standards established by the IGSHPA or other professional geothermal system accreditation association recognized by the State of Wisconsin. Materials shall be able to withstand long-term exposure to the levels of moisture and/or acidity of soils of the site.

(g)

Open loop GESs using only water as the heat exchange fluid shall be permitted. GESs may not be installed directly in a navigable body of water, and discharged water shall meet the state requirements for thermal and other water pollutants. Discharged water shall not be directed onto adjacent property or interfere with the function of on-site or off-site stormwater management structures.

(h)

In closed loop GESs, only heat exchange fluids certified by the State of Wisconsin for use with underground heat exchangers may be utilized. Heat exchange fluids shall not pose a contamination hazard to groundwater quality. Fluids removed from closed loop heat exchangers shall be disposed of in accordance with state and federal requirements and shall not be discharged onto neighboring properties.
