After approval by the Planning Board, or Town Board, if applicable, the plans and the recommendations of the Planning Board, or Town Board, if applicable, will be referred by the Planning Board, or Town Board, if applicable, to the Town Board for final approval. After approval by the Town Board, the Building Inspector shall issue a permit upon receipt of the required fee. B.

The application shall be filed in triplicate and include a site plan drawn to a suitable scale by an architect or professional engineer licensed by the State of New York. Said site plan shall indicate the following information: (1) The location of the proposed mobile home court, showing the boundaries and measurements of the premises, and the location and number of mobile homes to be situated therein. (2) The means of egress and ingress to all public roads. (3) Watercourses, drainage ditches and other storm drainage piping and structures, with a storm drainage report. (4) Internal roads and off-street parking facilities. (5) The water supply and sewage disposal facilities, which shall be designed and certified by a licensed New York State professional engineer to meet requirements set forth by the State of New York. (6) Firesafety provisions. (7) Fences and screening. (8) The location of outdoor lights, signs and other structures. (9) The names of the owners of adjoining properties. (10) Existing environmental factors. (11) Any other specific information that may be reasonably required by this Board for the particular application. (12) State Environmental Quality Review Act compliance. C. Upon determination that appropriate information is shown on the site plan, the Planning Board, or Town Board, if applicable, will hold a public hearing prior to making any recommendations to the Town Board. All owners within 300 feet, or such additional distances as the Planning Board, or Town Board, if applicable, may deem advisable, must be notified.
Section 114-6 of Wawayanda's Code of Ordinances establishes the process for obtaining a mobile home court permit, requiring applicants to submit detailed written applications and site plans to the Building Inspector, who routes them through the Planning Board or Town Board before final approval by the Town Board. The site plan must be prepared by a licensed New York State architect or engineer and cover a broad range of information, including drainage, utilities, fire safety, and environmental factors. A public hearing is required before any recommendation is made, and property owners within at least 300 feet of the proposed site must be notified.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to establish a mobile home court in Wawayanda under § 114-6 generally prepare a comprehensive written application filed in triplicate with the Building Inspector, accompanied by a professionally licensed engineer or architect's site plan addressing all twelve enumerated categories. Compliant applicants ensure that water supply and sewage disposal systems are designed and certified by a licensed New York State professional engineer and that SEQRA compliance documentation is included. Because the process involves a public hearing and notification of neighboring property owners within 300 feet, operators typically account for this review timeline before committing to a project schedule.

Section 114-6 governs how mobile home courts are permitted in Wawayanda, which directly affects the legal standing and conditions of the community where a tenant may reside. Residents of a mobile home court or prospective residents have an opportunity to participate in the required public hearing held before the Planning Board or Town Board makes its recommendation, providing a formal channel to raise concerns about site conditions, drainage, fire safety, or other factors listed in the provision. Tenants who believe a court is operating without a properly issued permit, or that required site plan elements were not fulfilled, may wish to consult a tenant-rights organization or review the public record of the permit application on file with the Building Inspector.
