Any person seeking to establish, operate, alter, or expand a
manufactured home park shall obtain a permit to construct or a license
to operate a manufactured home park. "Construct or operate a manufactured
home park," as used in this chapter, shall include, but not necessarily
be limited to, supplying or maintaining common water, sewer, or other
utility supplies or services, or the collection of rents directly
or indirectly from two or more independent manufactured homes. (All
plans shall be submitted to the Zoning Board or Plan Commission for
approval prior to the granting of a permit.)
A permit does not relieve the applicant from complying with this chapter or other ordinances applicable thereto. (See Chapter
360, Zoning, of the Village Code.)
The Plan Commission or the Village Board shall review each application
and plan documents submitted. When the application and plan documents
are found to be in compliance with the Manufactured Home Community
Code, as approved by the Illinois Department of Public Health, the
Village Board or its designee may issue to the applicant the proper
permit to construct or alter a manufactured home park. Permits shall
be valid for one year from date of issue.
Upon completion of the proposed construction of a manufactured
home park or the proposed alteration of a manufactured home park,
the applicant shall notify the Village or the designated official
in order that an inspection of the complete facilities can be made.
Any license granted hereunder shall be subject to revocation
or suspension by the Mayor. However, the Mayor or his representative
shall first serve or cause to be served upon the licensee a written
notice in which shall be specified the way or ways in which such licensee
has failed to comply with the statutes, or any rules or regulations
promulgated by the Village pertaining thereto. The notice shall require
the licensee to remove or abate such nuisance, unsanitary or objectionable
condition specified in such notice within five days or within a longer
period of time as may be allowed by the Village Board. If the licensee
fails to comply with the terms and conditions of the notice within
the time specified or such extended period of time, the Mayor or his
representative may revoke or suspend such license.
Each manufactured home that locates on a lot in a manufactured home park shall secure an initial building or zoning permit from the Village. All future locations on the same lot shall be exempt from the fee. (See Chapter
360, Zoning, of the Village Code.)
