Along with the plan of development, the owner shall submit preliminary construction plans for all public streets and utilities to be built serving a permanent manufactured home park. The administrator or his designee shall refer the construction plans for public streets and utilities to be built to the appropriate governmental authorities for review and, where possible, shall require the owner to obtain all necessary permits from such authorities prior to submission to the planning commission. In addition and prior to advertisement for public hearing, the administrator or his designee may require the owner to obtain written certification from a licensed professional engineer that the construction plans for all streets to be built conform to the current standards of the state department of transportation for subdivision roads. The plan of development shall be sufficient in form and content so as to legally describe and fix the rights-of-way and easements of all utilities and public streets to be installed and constructed, and shall contain certification statements from all appropriate governmental authorities.

(b)

The plan of development of a permanent manufactured home park shall not depict or provide for staged or phased development.

Written certifications shall also be obtained from all utility services providers that all public water, public sanitary sewer and electric service utilities as provided have been installed, constructed, inspected and found acceptable. Such certifications shall be accepted only if applicable to all manufactured home spaces as shown on the approved plan of development for a permanent manufactured home park. Such certifications shall be recorded with the plan of development in the office of circuit court clerk of the county upon its acceptance by the administrator or his designee.
