Approved 1/4/2017 3 that a total coliform hit on a water sample is now not necessarily a stop the presses, put boil water notices up. It used 107 to be that that was the case, even under current administration that’s changed. So there’s no telling what’s going to 108 happen under the next administration. But if it’s a fecal coliform on the water then the boil water notices come up. Of 109 the 90 some parks we inspect about 70 of them the others are all water and sewer. And then to your second 110 question; we do the annual park inspection and then if a model is moved off and another goes on we do a space 111 inspection to make sure that that space will fit in the given slot and not be over the well or septic system, and that the 112 system is functioning. So we do a park and a space inspection. 113 114 Lydia Wegman: Alan, is there one septic system for the whole park? 115 116 Alan Clapp: Usually in most cases there are individual systems or 2 units per septic system. 117 118 Paul Guthrie: Are there any of these parks that have discharge permits? 119 120 Alan Clapp: Yes. Now, we do not do those but of the other 20 half of them are either spray or discharge or ATU. And 121 several of those are on public water supply with 25 or more connections. 122 123 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 124 125 Michael Rettie: The tiny homes themselves are not built to any standard. 126 127 Patrick Mallett: Well, they could but the vast majority doesn’t meet anything. And that’s the rub. 128 129 Lydia Wegman: What kind of hookups do they have? 130 131 Patrick Mallett: The ones that don’t meet any standards? It’s the Wild West. It’s everything from a port-a-potty to 132 showers in bathhouses. 133 134 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 135 136 Tony Blake: It sounds as if, with a tiny home, you could have either an RV type hookup or a mobile home type hook 137 up. Is that true? 138 139 Patrick Mallett: Theoretically. 140 141 Tony Blake: And we would permit that? 142 143 Patrick Mallett: If it meets those standards, both in the building code and the health. 144 145 Michael Harvey: The bottom line is this: If you’re putting a structure on a parcel of property it either has to be a HUD 146 certified structure or a stick built house meeting state building code. 147 148 Michael Rettie: Well HUD is a standard. If nothing that’s a Federal standard for building a manufactured home. 149 150 Tony Blake: But it doesn’t say how wide or how long it’s going to be. It just says 2x4’s would be this far apart. 151 152 Michael Harvey: And remember most HUD homes have to meet certain design and wind zone requirements and it 153 has to be a self contained engineered unit. 154 155 Michael Rettie: HUD has gone up with their own building and construction standards. That’s where you get the little 156 1x2 studs and that kind of stuff. But all of that is it’s systems. Even the building officials can’t change those systems 157 unless a design professional basically specifies how to do that. 158 159 37
