Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 83 (eCode360 ed. 2026) § 83-9
Procedure for approval and issuance
Operative Text
The application for a manufactured home park permit shall be filed in duplicate with the enforcement officer and the following procedure shall supply: A. The enforcement officer shall refer one copy of the application to the Planning Board for review of the layout and design of the proposed park. B. Such Planning Board review shall be made within the general terms and requirements of the standards set forth in this chapter. C. Within 45 days from the receipt of an application for a permit, the Planning Board shall make a written recommendation to the Town Board to approve, approve with conditions or deny the application for such permit. Failure of the Planning Board to make such recommendation shall constitute a recommendation for approval. D. Within 30 days from receipt of the Planning Board recommendation, the Town Board shall hold a public hearing on said application, which hearing shall be duly advertised in accordance with Town law. E. Within 45 days from the date of the public hearing, the Town Board shall approve, approve with conditions or deny the application and instruct the enforcement officer to issue a temporary permit. Issuance of a temporary permit is authorization for the applicant to proceed with final plans for the manufactured home park, incorporating the conditions attached to said temporary permit. F. Final plans for the proposed manufactured home park, or, if construction is to be staged, that portion of it to be constructed initially, shall be submitted to the Planning Board for review within one year from the date of issuance of the temporary permit. If such submission is not made within such time, the temporary permit shall automatically expire unless the Town Board shall extend the temporary permit upon application by the applicant. G. The Planning Board shall determine if the conditions imposed by the Town Board have been met and shall be concerned with such things as the appropriateness and quality of the overall site plan in terms of the effective use of the site, the suitability of proposed landscaping, the usefulness of proposed recreation areas and the general visual character of the park. In addition, the Planning Board shall determine that the plans comply with the requirements of Article V and Article VI of this chapter. H. Within 45 days from the receipt of plans, the Planning Board shall make a written recommendation to the Town Board for approval or conditional approval of the proposed final plan. Failure of the Planning Board to make such report shall constitute a recommendation for approval. I. Within 30 days from the receipt of the Planning Board recommendation, the Town Board shall approve or conditionally approve the proposed plan and instruct the enforcement officer to issue a permit for construction.
Section 83-9 of Sodus, N.Y., Code of Ordinances Chapter 83 establishes a multi-step review process that governs how a manufactured home park permit is applied for, reviewed, and ultimately issued. The process moves through the enforcement officer, the Planning Board, and the Town Board in sequence, with defined timeframes at each stage — including a 45-day window for Planning Board recommendations and a 30-day window for Town Board public hearings. A temporary permit is issued first, authorizing the applicant to develop final plans, and a full construction permit follows only after those final plans are reviewed and approved under the same layered process.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to develop a manufactured home park in Sodus must follow the sequential approval process outlined in § 83-9, beginning with a duplicate application filed with the enforcement officer. A compliant applicant submits final plans to the Planning Board within one year of receiving a temporary permit, ensuring those plans reflect any conditions attached to that permit and satisfy the design and construction standards in Articles V and VI of Chapter 83. Operators also monitor the defined review deadlines — noting that a Planning Board's failure to act within the prescribed 45-day windows constitutes a recommendation for approval — and apply to the Town Board for an extension if the one-year submission deadline cannot be met.

Section 83-9 of Sodus Code Chapter 83 governs how manufactured home parks are permitted, which directly affects the legal standing of any park where residents live. Residents who have concerns about whether a park was properly permitted — or whether conditions attached to a permit were actually met — may raise those concerns with the Sodus enforcement officer or Town Board, as both bodies play active roles in the approval process.
