This letter is in response to your September 13, 2005 facsimile to Mr. Chuck Chambliss. That facsimile
concerned the setup of manufactured homes produced at your facility in a tidal flood zone AH. It is my
understanding that the homes in question are to be "pit set".
It is acceptable to "pit set" Skyline Corporation manufactured homes in a tidal floor zone AH provided the
following conditions are met:
• The home sites are properly drained so that water cannot accumulate under the home.
• The area under the home is ventilated per the requirements of the Skyline Corporation Manufactured
Home Installation Manual.
• The tie -downs are pier supports are installed per the requirements of the Skyline Corporation
Manufactured Home Installation Manual.
All other aspects of the setup should conform to the Skyline Corporation Manufactured Home Installation
Manual and State of Florida setup requirements.
I trust this information will meet your needs. Feel free to contact me at the above telephone number if you
have any further questions or co ems,
Sin el
