(3) The developer of such mobile home park shall be required to secure a preliminary and final plat as per the subdivision process outlined in Chapter 153.
(4) At the time of an application for a special use permit, or at the time of the application for subdivision in a mobile home park where the lots are to be offered for sale, the developer shall submit all legal documents necessary for the creation of an association having the purpose of maintaining, controlling, and covering all expenses, taxes and costs incurred on common areas within the mobile home park. Such association shall require that all property owners within the mobile home park be members thereof and pledge the lots owned within the mobile home park as security for the association performing such obligations. Covenants shall be placed on the property by the developer and owners thereof so as to ensure this obligation. These documents shall be submitted by the proper officials to the Village Board for its approval and no subdivision permit or special use permit may be issued without the approval of these documents by the Village Board.
