Application procedure
Operative Text
Each application for establishment of a mobile home park shall be in writing and signed by the applicant. A. The application and related information shall be filed with the Town Clerk in triplicate. B. The Town Clerk shall transmit one copy of the application to the Town Code Enforcement Officer. The Town Clerk shall refer one copy of the application to the Town Planning Board for review and report prior to the final action by the Town Board in accordance with the provisions of § 271 of the Town Law. C. The Code Enforcement Officer shall check the application for compliance with the minimum requirements as established by the rules and regulations of the New York State Department of Health and Sanitary Code of the State of New York and the requirements of this chapter. The Code Enforcement Officer shall, after such investigation, transmit the application to the Town Board together with his written findings as whether the application satisfies or does not meet the minimum health and sanitary standards within 60 days after the date of filing the application with the Town Clerk. D. Upon receipt of the application from the Town Clerk, the Planning Board shall review the general arrangements of the mobile home park. The Planning Board may require such additional information as the Planning Board shall in its discretion deem necessary to adequately review the plot, including but not limited to engineering-stamped plans for utilities, water, sewer, stormwater, New York State-licensed surveyor's lot layout, SEQRA requirements must be met and a public hearing as required thereon in compliance with all applicable Town and state standards. This shall include a review of location and width of streets and parking areas; the location, size and arrangement of lots; the location of other structures within the park; the location of entrances and exits; and the location, type and extent of landscaping and screening materials. The Planning Board shall transmit the application back to the Town Board, together with its written findings, within 60 days of receipt of the completed application containing all the required information. Failure to act within 60 days of receipt of the completed application shall be deemed a disapproval recommendation. E. The Town Board shall review the findings of the Code Enforcement Officer and the Planning Board and, by resolution, indicate its approval or disapproval of the application within 60 days of the date of the receipt of the recommendation of the Planning Board or, if no recommendation is received within 60 days after the expiration of the Planning Board receipt of the application, the application shall be considered by the Town Board as if the Planning Board recommendation was disapproved. The application shall be returned to the Town Clerk, and the applicant notified in writing by the Town Clerk of the decision rendered within five days of the date of such decision. F. If the application is disapproved, the applicant shall have the right to appear before the Town Board for a hearing.
Section 107-5 of Halfmoon, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 107 establishes a multi-step written application process that anyone seeking to establish a mobile home park must follow. The application is filed in triplicate with the Town Clerk, who routes copies to both the Code Enforcement Officer and the Planning Board for independent review against state health, sanitary, and planning standards. Each reviewing body has 60 days to submit written findings to the Town Board, which then issues a formal approval or disapproval by resolution; if the Planning Board fails to act within its 60-day window, its silence is treated as a disapproval recommendation. Applicants who are denied retain the right to appear before the Town Board for a hearing.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators or developers seeking to establish a mobile home park in Halfmoon must initiate the process under § 107-5 by submitting a written, signed application to the Town Clerk in triplicate, along with all supporting documentation. A compliant applicant typically prepares engineering-stamped utility plans, a New York State-licensed surveyor's lot layout, and SEQRA documentation in advance, since the Planning Board may request these materials and the 60-day review clock does not start until the application is deemed complete. Tracking the 60-day deadlines for both the Code Enforcement Officer and the Planning Board is important, as the Town Board's final resolution depends on timely receipt of written findings from both bodies.
