Attorney proposes amendments to mobile‑home ordinance to align tie‑downs and footings with HUD standards
Summary
Attorney presented a proposed amendment to the mobile‑home ordinance updating footing and tie‑down requirements to accept HUD‑approved systems and added language to allow ground‑increase systems approved by an Illinois professional engineer; trustees agreed to place the change on the September agenda.
Attorney Jim Stevens provided amended language to the village's Mobile Home Ordinance to revise footing and tie‑down requirements and allow HUD‑approved alternatives.
Stevens said he added a provision to permit "any ground increase system approved by HUD with a professional engineer stamp from Illinois" in place of a previously prescribed 3½‑inch concrete pad, and amended tie‑down installation rules to accept any tie‑down systems approved by HUD. He recommended the proposed changes be placed on the September agenda for formal consideration.
Trustees did not vote on the ordinance at the meeting; the attorney said the amendments clarify requirements and create flexibility to accept systems certified by federal standards and Illinois engineering review.
