The Town shall have the power to approve or disapprove any application for a manufactured home use permit if the location of said nonconforming manufactured home will materially adversely impact the other landowners in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location of the nonconforming manufactured home. The Town shall have the power to place specific limitations or restrictions upon the permittee's manufactured home use and shall have the power to place an expiration date upon any manufactured home use permit.
