Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators and developers of manufactured home communities in Manchester must ensure, under ch. 217 § 217-9, that every individual manufactured home unit placed on their property meets the 1,000-square-foot minimum size requirement. Compliant operators typically verify unit dimensions before approving a home for placement and document that specification in their records. This standard also applies when expanding an existing district or park, so due diligence on unit size is part of any expansion planning process.
