(A) The permit required by § 153.16(A) shall not issue unless and except the person desiring the permit presents to the Town Clerk/Treasurer a written application therefor bearing the signatures of no fewer than 75% of the persons owning real property within a radius of 300 feet of the boundary of the property being developed for use as a mobile home court, mobile home park, or mobile home resort, as evidence of their lack of objection thereto. The application shall be signed at the bottom by the applicant before a notary public, and such signature shall constitute the applicant’s affirmation that the application bears the number of signatures required pursuant to this section as a condition precedent to the issuance of a permit and that such signatures are authentic.
(B) Nothing herein shall be construed or deemed to impose upon the town a duty to investigate the signatures contained in the required application or to verify that the number of signatures contained in the application is sufficient for issuance of the permit required by § 153.16(A). The application, signed by the applicant in the manner set forth in division (A) above, shall constitute prima facie evidence of the sufficiency thereof and shall create a rebuttable presumption that the requirements for the issuance of a permit have been satisfied.
