Section 127-5 of Groton, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 127 requires that before a manufactured housing park is constructed, the developer must submit detailed plans, health compliance documentation, and a copy of any rules intended to govern park occupants to the Village's enforcement officer. The requirement that proposed occupant rules be filed with the New York State Department of Housing and Community Renewal means those rules are part of the public record associated with the park's permit application.
