No tourist camp shall be established, maintained or operated in any district, nor shall any tent, tent house, camp cottage, house car or trailer, to be used or occupied as a place for living, sleeping or eating, whether charge is or is not made, be erected or placed therein, unless authorized by the Board of Appeals as hereinafter provided.

An applicant to the Board of Appeals, as hereinafter provided, for the use of any land or premises as a tourist camp or the erection or placing therein of any tent, tent house, camp cottage, house car or trailer, shall first obtain from the Department of Health of the County of Suffolk a statement in writing as to its approval for the establishment of sanitation facilities and water supply for each such proposed tourist camp, together with a plan showing clearly the extent and area to be used for the camp proposed, a legal description of the camp property, methods for disposing of sewage and plans for water supply, electricity and other necessary conveniences. In determining the suitability of such use, the Board of Appeals as hereinafter provided shall give consideration to the effect of the proposed tourist camp on adjoining property, and further, no such permit shall be granted for a tourist camp or for trailers in any residence district. The applicant shall be required to give written notice of the public hearing before the Board of Appeals on such application to all owners of property situated within 800 feet of the proposed tourist camp, and file same at such hearing with proof that such notice was given.

It shall be unlawful for any person, firm or corporation to place, keep or maintain any trailer or camp car on any land within the Village of Patchogue without written permission of the owner of such land, and no person shall allow, suffer or permit any trailer or camp car to be placed, kept and maintained as a dwelling on any land owned, leased or controlled by him, except in a tourist camp for which a permit has been issued by the Building and Housing Department; provided, however, that the occupant of any single-family dwelling may allow, upon such consent of the owner, not more than one trailer or camp car of a guest to be placed, kept or maintained thereon for a period of not exceeding three months in any calendar year by securing a permit as provided under § 435-49 hereof and otherwise complying with the provisions of this chapter. The permit shall not be renewable during any calendar year.

Any person desiring a permit to place or maintain a single trailer or camp car shall file with the Building and Housing Department application therefor within 48 hours after said trailer is placed upon the premises of said single-family dwelling, on a form to be furnished by the said Building and Housing Department. Such application, among other things, shall contain a sworn statement by the applicant that any toilet or toilets in such trailer or camp car will be sealed or locked so that it or they cannot be used during the period of its stay on said property, and that all wastewater from sinks and lavatories in said trailer or camp car will be disposed of in a sewer, or cesspool if there is no sewer, but not on the ground in any event. No garbage or refuse shall be deposited upon the ground. The Building Inspector is hereby authorized, in the exercise of a reasonable discretion, to revoke any permit issued if, after due investigation, he deems that the holder thereof has violated any of the provisions of this chapter and that said trailer or camp car is being maintained in an unsanitary or unsafe manner or is a nuisance. Written notice of said revocation shall be given either by personal delivery thereof to the person to be notified or by depositing said notice in the United States mail in a sealed envelope, postage prepaid, addressed to such person at the address which appears on the record of the Building and Housing Department pertaining thereto.

The fee for the private trailer permit shall be as set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.[1]
