§ 134-26. Application fee and approval process.

A. 

Application. Where land to be used for a manufactured home park is already zoned MH Manufactured Home District, an applicant for a manufactured home park license must obtain from and file with the Town Zoning Officer an application for a manufactured home park. A nonrefundable filing fee, as determined by resolution of the Town Board and on file in the Town Clerk's Office, shall be paid at the time of filing.

B. 

Rezoning. If the land to be used for a manufactured home park is not zoned MH Manufactured Home District, then a written request shall be made to the Town Board to consider a formal amendment to the Town's Official Zoning Map designating the subject property as MH. Said written request shall be made to the Town Clerk and placed upon the next available agenda of the Town Board. The established procedures for formal consideration of a rezoning request shall be followed.

C. 

Site plan approval. Once the land to be used for a manufactured home park has been zoned MH Manufactured Home District by the Town Board, the application for a license for a manufactured home park is referred to the Town Planning Board for site plan approval. The contents of an application for final site plan approval are set forth below:

(1) 

A legal description of the property on which the proposed manufactured home park is to be located; and

(2) 

A final site plan, drawn by a licensed professional, shall be submitted with the following details shown:

(a) 

An overall plan of the proposed manufactured home park, including the location and number of proposed manufactured home lots with corner pins shown for each lot, the lot size dimensions, road and driveway locations, fire hydrants, water lines, sewer lines, road lights, drainage provisions including stormwater compliance, a plan for a buffer zone, recreation and open space areas, present and future land contours at a maximum of five-foot intervals, a footprint for each manufactured home, the location of all accessory structures on each lot, the location of common storage areas, and location of any proposed park service buildings (including mailbox locations).

(b) 

The site's unique natural resources, including but not limited to streams, creeks, areas of flood hazard, areas of steep slopes (slopes in excess of 15% or greater), established wooded areas, ridgelines and/or shorelines.

(3) 

The applicant, if not the owner of the subject site, must submit a letter from the owner agreeing to and acknowledging the proposed application for a license to operate a manufactured home park on the subject site.

D. 

The Planning Board must approve an application for final site plan approval in order for the Town Zoning Officer to issue a certificate of compliance. The process for site plan approval is set forth in Chapter 220 of the Town Code. Once a certificate of compliance has been issued by the Town Zoning Officer, the Town Clerk may then issue a license to the owner of the manufactured home park to operate said facility in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.

E. 

No building permits may be issued for any manufactured home park until a license to operate said facility has been issued by the Town Clerk.
