- In the event that a single family home has been destroyed by fire, explosion, act of God, or the public enemy and an improvement location permit has been issued for its replacement or reconstruction, the property owner may make application for an improvement location permit for a mobile home to be placed on the same property for a period not to exceed one (1) year. No extensions of time shall be permitted by the Administrator.

Said cash bond shall be returned without interest upon removal of the mobile home and the issuance of a certificate of occupancy for the constructed or reconstructed single family home. Said cash bond may be drawn on by the Council of the Town of Lapel, at the Commission's discretion upon the advice of the Administrator, that the property owner has failed to remove the mobile home either at the end of one (1) year or within one (1) week of the issuance of the certificate of occupancy for the constructed or reconstructed single family home, whichever occurs first. Said cash bond may be used to defray expenses incurred by the Town for the removal of the mobile home and/or legal costs directly associated with the enforcement of this ordinance.
