Issuance of license
Operative Text
A. Upon receipt of each application the Town Clerk shall immediately notify and send one copy of the application to the Madison County Health Department and request that it make an investigation into the facts and circumstances whether proposed sewage disposal or removal system, the water supply and the proposed service buildings meet the minimum required standards prescribed by the Madison County Health Department or that of the State of New York. After completing its investigation, it shall report its findings, in writing, to the Town Clerk. If at the time of processing any application the Madison County Health Department shall refuse or fail to act in conducting its investigations, then, in the event of such refusal or failure, the Town Clerk shall immediately notify the Town Board of the Town of Sullivan of said matter and the Town Board shall then designate and employ such engineers and licensed physicians as the Board deems are necessary to make such investigations who shall also report their findings to the Town Clerk. B. Any fee, service charge, or cost for such investigation must be paid for by the applicant and in no event will any license be issued until proof of payment is made to the Town Clerk. C. The Town Clerk also shall immediately send another copy to the Planning Board of the Town of Sullivan which is directed by this chapter to make it study of said application and make its written recommendation to the Town Clerk whether the layout of the park plan is suitable for the operation and maintenance of a mobile home park; whether the driveways, streets and walkways are of suitable grade; whether adequate recreational facilities and area are provided in the plan and for the proper comfort, convenience, safety, health and welfare of the inhabitants of the Town of Sullivan. D. Upon receipt of the reports from the Madison County Health Department and from the Planning Board, the Town Clerk shall immediately notify the Town Board which shall call a public hearing to consider the application and the Town Board shall give the applicant at least five days' written notice of the time and place of the public hearing. E. Upon approval of the application by the Town Board, the Town Clerk shall forthwith issue a license to be effective from and after the date of issuance to and including the 31st day of December next succeeding the date of issuance. If such application is not approved the Town Board shall certify the reason for its actions and such decision shall be filed with the Town Clerk who shall immediately notify the applicant of the decision of the Town Board.
Section 179-7 of Sullivan, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 179 establishes the multi-step process by which a mobile home park license is issued in the Town of Sullivan. The Town Clerk routes the application to both the Madison County Health Department and the Planning Board for independent reviews covering sanitation, water supply, service buildings, and park layout. After those written reports are received, the Town Board holds a public hearing and either approves or denies the license, with any approval producing a license valid through December 31 of the year it is issued.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking a mobile home park license under § 179-7 of ch. 179 should be prepared for a sequential review process involving the Madison County Health Department, the Town of Sullivan Planning Board, and ultimately the Town Board. A compliant applicant pays all investigation fees and provides proof of payment to the Town Clerk before a license can be issued. Because the Town Board must call a public hearing and provide at least five days' written notice, operators generally account for this timeline when planning a proposed park's opening date.
