i. Where all footings will be 24" X 24" and shall extend into undisturbed soil 12" deep. A minimum of 4 pieces of re -bar will be required. Blocks used as piers will be solid or filled with concrete. A connecting strap or piece of re -bar will need to extend from the footing up to the bottom of the structure. ii. A combination pier and footing. It must be no less than a round column 18" in diameter and placed 24" into the soil containing 4 pieces of re -bar with stirrups. A connecting strap or piece of re -bar will need to be attached to bottom of structure from this column. iii. An outside perimeter beam will be required that is a minimum of 12" in width and 18" deep, 12" of which must be in undisturbed soil and 8" or more above ground. This will allow for attachment of skirting or loading of structure. If a wider beam is required to accept the weight of structure, that will be allowed [exp. two and three story structures require wider footings]. A beam and footer design in this situation would be allowed. This perimeter beam could be extended to the bottom of the structure. iv. An engineered pier and beam system will be accepted but must also include the outside perimeter beam as noted above; or, b. A monolithic poured in place slab will be allowed for all industrialized housing. It will consist of exterior beams eight inches wide and 24" thick that extent into undisturbed soil one -foot. All load - bearing beams will be eight inches wide or wider and 24 -inch thick or thicker as required for load and soil conditions. The minimum thickness of the slab will be five inches. This slab will extend no less than eight inches above of the surrounding soil and positive drainage away from the slab will be provided as per building code. Permanent tie down connections will be placed in this slab to be attached to the industrialized structure; or, c. An inverted monolithic slab will be allowed using the same criteria as in section (c)(2)b. This would allow for a crawlspace under the structure. Venting of crawlspace will need to be provided for along with any addition provisions required by the code; or, d. An inverted monolithic slab will be allowed using the same criteria as in section (c)(2)b. No blocking up above the poured concrete foundation will be allowed. Minor shimming is allowable. (3) Value means the taxable value of the industrialized housing and lot after installation of the housing. (d) Any person who intends to construct, erect, install, or move any industrialized housing into the city shall first submit all required applications to
