§ 154.226 ADMINISTRATION.
   (A)   Permits.
      (1)   It shall be unlawful for any person to maintain or operate a mobile home park within the jurisdiction of this chapter unless the person shall first obtain from the Town Board a special use permit as described in §§ 154.175 through 154.178.
      (2)   The special use permit shall be issued if the Planning Board and Town Board finds that the applicable provisions of this chapter and all other town ordinances are satisfactorily complied with and, at the time of the initial special use request, if the Planning Board and Town Board finds that the location of a proposed park is acceptable.
      (3)   No special use permit shall be issued for any mobile home park not in operation upon the effective date of this chapter until the park plan has been approved by the Town Board, as provided for in division (B) below.
   (B)   Construction or alteration of mobile home parks.
      (1)   No person shall construct or engage in the construction of any mobile home park or make any addition or alteration to a mobile home park that either alters the number of sites for mobile homes within the park or affects the facilities required therein until he or she first secures a special use permit authorizing the construction, addition, or alteration. The construction, addition, or alteration shall be done in accordance with plans and specifications submitted with the application and approved by the proper authorities. Procedures for the applicant securing the permit are described in §§ 154.175 through 154.178. However, before the Town Board shall review the special use request, a park plan, described below, must be submitted for review and approval by the Planning Board. No plan is required to be prepared and approved for issuance of a permit to make minor facility improvements in an existing mobile home park where the number of mobile home sites within the park is not affected. When no plan is required, application for a building permit may be made directly to the Building Inspector.
      (2)   Four copies of the park plan shall be submitted and, upon approval by the Town Board, each copy shall be signed by the Mayor and Town Clerk, denoting town approval. One copy shall be returned to the park owner or developer, one copy shall be submitted to the Town Clerk to be held for public view, one copy shall be sent to the Inspections Department, and the fourth copy shall be retained by the Town Board for its records.
      (3)   The approved park plan becomes part of the conditions for the special use and must be constructed and maintained accordingly in order to retain the permit. The Town Administrator or designees shall make an examination of the construction at any reasonable time to determine whether the work is being done according to approved plans and specifications, and the owner shall make available any records, test data, or other information essential to the determination.
