(a) Subject to the provisions of this article, auto trailer camps may be established
and maintained in the City as provided in the Zoning Ordinance.
(b) Permits issued for auto trailer camps by the Health Director shall expire one year from the date of issue unless renewed as provided in this subsection. If the auto trailer camp is to be maintained for a period longer than one year, a renewal of the permit therefor shall be obtained from the Health Director. The renewal shall be for a period not exceeding one year and shall be applied for not less than fifteen days prior to the date of expiration of the permit.
(c) Any person desiring a permit to place or maintain a single auto trailer, as provided for in Section 1123.02, shall file with the Health Director an application therefor within forty-eight hours after the auto trailer is placed upon the ground of the single-family dwelling, on a form to be furnished by the Health Director. The application shall describe the property where the auto trailer is to be located, either by street and number or by legal description, shall give the date when it is desired to place the auto trailer on the property, the date of expiration of the permit, a statement by the applicant that any toilet in the auto trailer will be sealed so that it cannot be used during the period of its stay on the property, and that all waste water from sinks and lavatories in the auto trailer will be disposed of in the sewer or in a cesspool if there is no sewer, but not upon the ground in any event. Permits issued under this subsection shall expire three months after date of issue and no other permit shall be issued for the same lot or parcel of land during the nine months following the expiration date.
The Health Director is hereby authorized in the exercise of a reasonable discretion to revoke any permit issued pursuant to this subsection if, after due investigation, he determines that the holder thereof has violated any of the provisions of this article, or that the auto trailer is being maintained in an unsanitary or unsafe manner or is a nuisance. Written notice of such revocation shall be given either by personal delivery thereof to the person to be notified, or by depositing the notice in the United States registered mail in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to the person at the address which appears on the records of the Health Director pertaining thereto.
(d) Any person desiring a permit for an auto trailer camp shall file an application therefor with the Health Director on a form to be furnished by him. The application shall give the location by street number and legal description of the property on which the auto trailer camp is to be established and maintained, the dimensions of the property, the number of units in the camp and such other information as the Health Director may reasonably require. A plot plan in duplicate of the property shall be filed by the applicant with his application drawn to a scale of not less than one-eighth of an inch per foot, showing the location and dimensions of all the units, roads, buildings, sewer connections, water connections, electric outlets, baths, toilets and other essential requirements of this article.
(e) Where no work is done under a permit within ninety days of its issuance, it shall become null and void.
(f) Permits issued under the terms of this article convey no right to erect any building other than auto trailers or to do any plumbing work or to do any electrical work. Regular building, plumbing, electrical or other permits as required by the provisions of these Codified Ordinances or other ordinances of the City shall be secured for all such work.
(g) Permits other than those issued pursuant to subsection (c) may be revoked by the Health Director for violation of the provisions of this article, or if the auto trailer camp is maintained in any unsanitary or unsafe manner or in a manner such as to create a nuisance.
(h) No such permit shall be revoked until a hearing upon notice by the Health Director is first had. Written notice of the time and place of the hearing shall be given at least five days before the hearing. The notice may be given either by personal delivery thereof to the person to be notified, or by deposit in the United States registered mail in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to the person to be notified at the address which appears on the record pertaining to the matter to which the notice is directed. The notice shall state in clear and concise language the reasons for revocation of the permit and the time when and the place where the hearing is to be held. The Health Director may continue the hearing from time to time upon good cause being shown therefor.
