(a) Applicable Requirements. A service building shall be provided for all travel trailers in a travel trailer park. Such building and the facilities therein shall comply not only with the requirements of this section, but with all other ordinances of the City pertaining to buildings or facilities of such types and with all rules and regulations of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services. The service building providing the services listed below is to be substantially completed prior to location of any travel trailer at the park. However, the owner, upon application and approval of the City Council may be granted an extension of the completion date for the service building and begin operations without a completed service building if in the determination of Council adequate alternatives exist or are provided by the park for toilet, lavatory, shower and laundry service until substantial completion. The Planning Commission will review as part of its special permit process the extension request, and if a special permit is granted, make its recommendation to Council as to whether the extension application should be approved or denied and if approval is recommended, the completion date of the service building. Upon receipt of the recommendation of the Planning Commission, Council shall act upon said application and if approved, shall determine an extension date which shall be noted on any extension application approval.
(b) Construction. A service building shall be of permanent-type construction and shall be properly protected from damage by ordinary uses and decay, corrosion, termites and other destructive elements. Exterior portions shall be of such materials, and be so constructed and protected, as to prevent entrance or penetration of moisture and weather.

Such building shall also contain a minimum of three flush toilets and three lavatories for each sex, and three urinals for the male sex, per each 100 travel trailer spaces or part of such number. Such building shall be located not more than 200 feet from any travel trailer.

Walls and partitions around showers, bathtubs, lavatories and other plumbing fixtures shall be constructed of dense, nonabsorbent and waterproof material or be covered with moisture-resistant material. Every such room shall have at least one window that can be easily opened or a mechanical device that will adequately ventilate the room.
