Property owners and developers pursuing a mobile home park permit under Spencer Code § 98-32 generally ensure their preliminary application is filed directly with the Code Enforcement Officer before any development activity begins. A compliant applicant assembles all required documentation — including the deed book and page reference, Tax Map designation, a sketch map with lot counts and sizes, utility service plans, and identification of abutting landowners — along with the nonrefundable filing fee established by the Town Board. Operators familiar with this process typically confirm the Town Board's next scheduled regular meeting date so the completed application can be placed on the agenda without delay.
