It shall be unlawful for any person to develop
or operate a mobile home park within the limits of the Town of Williamson
unless he holds a valid license to operate a mobile home park and
a valid permit to construct, alter or extend any mobile home park.
A.
License applications shall be submitted to the Planning
Board for site plan review. Upon receiving the recommendation of the
Planning Board, the Town Board shall approve, disapprove or approve
conditionally the application. Upon approval by the Town Board, a
one-year license to operate a mobile home park shall be issued by
the Town Clerk.
B.
Annual license renewals shall be issued by the Town
Clerk when the applicant states in writing that there is no change
in the information contained in the original license application,
and upon payment of a license renewal fee of $15 for each 10 stands
or fraction thereof. When changes in the license provisions are sought,
the applicant shall submit the revised application to the Planning
Board, where the same procedures shall be followed as prescribed for
original license applications.
If an officer, the Building Inspector or any
authorized representative of the Town of Williamson finds that any
mobile home park is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition
or is not being conducted in accordance with the provisions of this
chapter, or that the applicable fees provided for in this chapter
have not been paid, or that the applicable registration provisions
of this chapter are not being carried out, such facts shall thereupon
be reported to the Town Board and said Town Board may direct the Town
Clerk to serve an order in writing upon the holder of the license
for such park, directing that the conditions therein specified be
remedied within 10 days after date of service of such order. If such
conditions are not corrected after the expiration of said ten-day
period, the Town Board may cause a notice in writing to be served
upon the holder of said license, requiring the said holder to appear
before the Town Board at a time specified in such notice and show
cause why such license should not be revoked. The Town Board may,
after a hearing at which testimony of witnesses may be taken and the
holder of the license shall be heard, revoke such license if said
Town Board shall find that the said park is not being maintained in
a clean and sanitary condition or that any provision of this chapter
has been or is being violated or that the fees provided for in this
chapter have not been paid, or for other sufficient cause. Upon the
revocation of such license, the premises shall immediately cease to
be used for the purpose of a mobile home park and all mobile homes
shall forthwith be removed therefrom.
Application for licenses shall be in duplicate

a license shall give notice in writing to the Town Clerk within 24
hours after having sold, transferred, given away or otherwise disposed
of interest in or control of any mobile home park.
A.
Prior to the construction, alteration or extension
of any mobile home park, including the construction of any roads,
buildings, structures, utilities or mobile home stands, an application
for a building permit shall be filed with the Building Inspector.
B.
The Building Inspector shall issue a building permit
if he finds that the proposed construction is in conformance with
the provisions of the mobile home park license.
Whenever the Building Inspector finds that an
emergency exists which requires immediate action to protect the public
health, he may, without notice, issue an order, with a copy to the
Town Board, reciting the existence of such emergency and requiring
that such action be taken as he may deem necessary to meet the emergency,
including the suspension of the permit or license. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be effective
immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall comply
therewith immediately, but upon petition to the Town Board he shall
be afforded a hearing as soon as possible.
A.
Mobile home parks operating prior to the effective date of this chapter may continue to operate, provided they maintain their existing standards and comply with the technical standards within the time limit provided herein, except they will be exempt from the requirements of § 113-14E, G(2), H, I(1), (2), (3), (5) and K. They shall, however, submit an application for a license within six months of the effective date of this chapter.
B.
In the license application the applicant must indicate how he intends to bring the mobile home park up to the standards required in the chapter, except the stand requirement in § 113-14M has to be met within a five-year period. Mobile home parks which do not meet the standards of this chapter shall be issued temporary licenses.
C.
Temporary licenses for existing mobile home parks
shall be renewed annually by the Town Clerk upon payment of the regular
renewal fee for not more than four consecutive years only upon approval
of the Town Board after review and recommendation by the Planning
Board.
