Cochecton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 150 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 150-4
Application procedure
Operative Text
A. Each application for a manufactured home park license or supplemental license shall be in writing on a form supplied by the Building Inspector and signed by the applicant. It shall include documentation of compliance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQR). B. Four copies of the application and plans and related information shall be filed with the Building Inspector. No application shall be deemed filed until all required information shall have been filed with the Town of Cochecton Planning Board. The Planning Board shall advise the applicant of any such deficiencies within 30 days of its receipt thereof. C. The Building Inspector promptly shall transmit copies of the application and plans to the Town Planning Board, who shall process the application pursuant to the manufactured home park special use and site plan review criteria of Chapter 240 , Zoning, and New York State Town Law. Should the Planning Board determine a professional review of the application and plans by an engineer, architect or planner is required, it shall be authorized to retain such services, and the applicant shall be required to reimburse the Town for such expenses, provided the expenses are ordinary and reasonable for such work. An advance fee for this purpose may also be required, with any unused portion to be returned to the applicant. Such fees shall be the applicant's responsibility, regardless of any decision or recommendation which shall be made. D. The Building Inspector, within 30 days of the filing of the Planning Board decision, shall issue the license or supplemental license, provided approval has been granted and all other requirements of this chapter are met. E. Any disapprovals shall be in writing and include the reasons therefor. The Building Inspector shall not issue a license or supplemental license, in any instance, where the Board has not approved the site plan. If the application is disapproved, the applicant shall have the right to apply to the Supreme Court for a review by a proceeding under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.
Section 150-4 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances establishes the step-by-step process for obtaining a manufactured home park license or supplemental license. Applicants must submit a written application—including SEQR compliance documentation—along with four copies of plans to the Building Inspector, who forwards the materials to the Town Planning Board for review under Chapter 240 zoning and New York State Town Law standards. The Planning Board must flag any deficiencies within 30 days, and the Building Inspector must issue or deny the license within 30 days of the Planning Board's decision. Disapprovals must be in writing with stated reasons, and applicants may seek judicial review under Article 78 of the Civil Practice Law and Rules.

Operators seeking a manufactured home park license under § 150-4 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances generally prepare a complete written application on the Building Inspector's form, include SEQR compliance documentation, and submit four copies of all plans and related materials. Compliant applicants budget for potential professional review costs—such as engineering or planning fees—that the Town Planning Board may require, understanding those fees are owed regardless of the outcome. Keeping records of all submissions and tracking the 30-day Planning Board deficiency window helps operators ensure the application is deemed properly filed and moves forward without unnecessary delay.

Section 150-4 of Cochecton's Code of Ordinances governs how manufactured home park licenses are applied for and reviewed, which directly affects the legal standing of any park where residents live. Residents and prospective tenants may find it useful to know that a park must hold a valid license issued through this process, and that any disapproval of a site plan prevents the Building Inspector from issuing a license at all. Those with concerns about whether a park is properly licensed can contact the Cochecton Building Inspector's office or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York manufactured housing law for general information about their options.
