Approved 1/4/2017 4 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 159 system is functioning. So we do a park and a space inspection. 160 161 Lydia Wegman: Alan, is there one septic system for the whole park? 162 163 Alan Clapp: Usually in most cases there are individual systems or 2 units per septic system. 164 165 Paul Guthrie: Are there any of these parks that have discharge permits? 166 167 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 168 several of those are on public water supply with 25 or more connections. 169 170 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 171 172 Michael Rettie: The tiny homes themselves are not built to any standard. 173 174 Patrick Mallett: Well, they could but the vast majority doesn’t meet anything. And that’s the rub. 175 176 Lydia Wegman: What kind of hookups do they have? 177 178 Patrick Mallett: The ones that don’t meet any standards? It’s the Wild West. It’s everything from a port-a-potty to 179 showers in bathhouses. 180 181 Patrick Mallett continued presentation. 182 183 Tony Blake: It sounds as if, with a tiny home, you could have either an RV type hookup or a mobile home type hook 184 up. Is that true? 185 186 Patrick Mallett: Theoretically. 187 188 Tony Blake: And we would permit that? 189 190 Patrick Mallett: If it meets those standards, both in the building code and the health. 191 192 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 193 certified structure or a stick built house meeting state building code. 194 195 Michael Rettie: Well HUD is a standard. If nothing that’s a Federal standard for building a manufactured home. 196 197 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. 198 199 Michael Harvey: And remember most HUD homes have to meet certain design and wind zone requirements and it 200 has to be a self contained engineered unit. 201 202 Michael Rettie: HUD has gone up with their own building and construction standards. That’s where you get the little 203 1x2 studs and that kind of stuff. But all of that is it’s systems. Even the building officials can’t change those systems 204 unless a design professional basically specifies how to do that. 205 206 Patrick Mallett: So we’ll see people that will tinker with a mobile home and if you rip out a wall and add onto it, what 207 does that become? And that kind of transcends the mobile home park. 208 209 Lydia Wegman: Can we go back to the tiny homes? And so if they meet the RV standard would they be temporary? 210 211
