It shall be unlawful within the Town for any person or persons to operate a manufactured home park without first securing a written license from the Town Board and complying with the regulations of this chapter. For conforming manufactured home parks, such license shall be issued only after site plan approval and construction in accordance with the approved plan.

The application for such annual license or the renewal thereof shall be filed with the Town Clerk and shall be accompanied by the fee set forth in the current fee schedule adopted by the Town Board. Each manufactured home shall be assessed on the tax rolls of the Town against manufactured home park owners in accordance with § 102 of the New York Real Property Tax Law.

The application for a license or renewal thereof shall be made on forms prescribed by the Town and shall include the name and address of the owner in fee of the tract. If the fee is vested in some person other than the applicant, a duly verified statement by the person that the applicant is authorized by him or her to construct or maintain the manufactured home park shall accompany the application. Each license or renewal thereof shall expire on the 31st day of December following the issuance thereof.

A license or renewal shall not be issued until the park or park site has first been checked by the Zoning Administrator for verification that the park or park site complies with the regulations of this chapter. If the Town Board finds that all the conditions have been met, it shall approve the issuance of a license by the Town Clerk.

Revocation of license. Whenever the Zoning Administrator has reasonable grounds to believe that any licensee is in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter, he/she shall notify such licensee or the licensee's agent of such violation, together with a demand that such violation be corrected or terminated. Such notice shall be in writing and shall state the nature of the violation and may be served upon the person to whom it is directed either by delivering it personally to him/her or by posting the same upon a conspicuous portion of the premises or by sending a copy of such notice by registered mail. In the event that such violation shall continue for a period of five days after the service or mailing of such notice as herein set forth, the Zoning Administrator may revoke any license issued pursuant to this chapter. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, any license to maintain and operate a park may be revoked by the Zoning Administrator after the licensee has been found guilty in any court of competent jurisdiction of the violation of any provision of this chapter. After such violation of any provision of this chapter has been remedied and/or corrected, the Zoning Administrator may reissue the license.

Transfer of license. Upon application in writing for transfer of a license and the payment of the transfer fee set forth in the current fee schedule adopted by the Town Board and upon strict compliance with these regulations, the Town Clerk shall issue the transfer of such license.

Renewal of license. Upon application in writing by a licensee of a manufactured home park for the renewal of a license and upon inspection and approval of the Zoning Administrator or his/her appointed inspectors and the payment of the required fee, the Town Clerk shall forward such renewal to the Town Board for authorization to renew such license. For purposes of interpretation, if the Zoning Administrator should find the park to be in violation of the rules or regulations of the County Health Department and/or Chapter 7 of the Sanitary Code of the State of New York and/or violations of the strict adherence to any ordinances applicable to manufactured home parks, the renewal of such license may be withheld until such time as necessary corrections have been made. Such corrections shall be made within 90 days from the time of inspection or application, whichever constitutes the longer period of time. Any violation not remedied in accordance with the provisions of this chapter shall constitute a violation of § 268 of the Town Law.
