Ala. Admin. Code r. 535-X-13-.04 - Site Preparation
(1) The
site shall have a grade that will provide water to drainage away from the home
site. The site shall be properly crowned and sloped so that water will not
stand under the home or run under the home. This will not be necessary if the
existing site will not allow water to stand under the home or run under the
home.
(2) The party to pay the cost
of and do the site preparation work shall be determined by a written
contractual agreement between the retailer and the landowner/homeowner, or the
installer and the landowner/ homeowner, except when the site is located within
a park.
(3) The responsibility to
ensure that site preparation is done properly will be a shared responsibility
of both the retailer and the installer of manufactured homes sold by the
retailer except when the site is located within a park; then the park owner
shall be responsible. The installer must notify the park owner of his/her
responsibility.
(4) The retailer
and/or installer must provide a signed copy of the Site Preparation:
Information and Requirements form from the Alabama Manufactured Housing
Commission (AMHC) to the homeowner and the AMHC along with the Property
Locator, and retain the original in its customer file.
(5) Site preparation for all secondary
sitings not involving a retailer and not installed in a park shall be the
responsibility of the installer.
(6) After corrections have been made as
described in the initial Set-up Inspection Report and confirmed by the
Inspector, the Commission shall consider site preparation to be
correct.
(7) A retailer, installer,
or park owner may request a pre-delivery site inspection from the Commission to
determine the suitability of the site. A written site inspection report shall
be provided. The Commission may charge a fee for this service.
