The provisions of § 66.0435, Wis. Stats., and Ch.
Comm 26, Wis. Adm. Code, are hereby adopted as and for the general
law of the Town and applicable therein with the following exception:
"Mobile home park" means any plot or plots of ground owned by a person,
state or local government upon which one or more units, occupied for
dwelling or sleeping purposes regardless of mobile home ownership,
is or are located, and whether or not a charge is made for such accommodation.
A special permit, without charge, shall be granted to state,
county or municipal mobile homes, or those owned by nonprofit organizations,
when such mobile homes are utilized for a public purpose within the
Town, and the Town Board may designate a location for parking such
a mobile home or trailer, including any street, alley or highway,
for such period of time as the Town Board deems necessary in carrying
out a public purpose.
No person shall establish, operate, maintain, or permit to be
established, operated or maintained upon any property owned, leased
or controlled by him, a mobile home park within the limits of the
Town without having first secured a license for each such park from
the Town Board pursuant to this section. Such license shall expire
one year from the date of issuance, but may be renewed under the provisions
of this section for additional periods of one year.
A. Application
and fees. The application for such licenses or the renewal thereof
shall be filed with the Town Clerk and shall be accompanied by a fee
of $5 for each occupied lot so occupied as of May 15 of each year.
This fee is also to be paid upon renewal of such licenses each year
on May 15. A fee of $10 shall be paid for each transfer of a license.
The licenses and/or the transfer of a license will only be issued
after the Town Board's approval.
B. Park inspection.
No mobile home park license or permit for location outside of a licensed
mobile home park shall be issued until the Town Clerk notifies the
Police Chief, Fire Inspector and Building Inspector, or their authorized
agents, of such application and these officials shall inspect or cause
to be inspected each application and the premises to determine whether
the applicant and the premises on which mobile homes will be located
comply with the regulations, ordinances, state laws and regulations
of the Department of Health Services applicable therein. These officials
shall furnish to the Town Board, in writing, the information derived
from such investigation and a statement as to whether the applicant
and the premises meet the requirements of the department for which
the officer is certifying. No license shall be renewed without a reinspection
of the premises. For the purpose of making inspections and securing
enforcement, such officials or their authorized agents shall have
the right and are empowered to enter on any premises on which a mobile
home is located, or about to be located, and to inspect the same and
all accommodations connected therewith at any reasonable time.
C. Parking
permit fee. There is imposed on each owner or operator of a mobile
home park licensed under this section a monthly parking permit fee
as determined in accordance with § 66.0435, Wis. Stats.,
on each occupied, nonexempt mobile home which has been parked in such
park at any time during the month, except that tourists, or vacationists
may remain five days in any one calendar year without paying the monthly
parking permit fee. It shall be the full and complete responsibility
of the licensee to collect the proper amount for each mobile home
and to pay to the Town Clerk such parking permit fees on or before
the 10th of the month following the month for which such fees are
due, in accordance with the terms of this section and such regulations
as the Clerk may reasonably promulgate.
In addition to the revocation, suspension or nonrenewal of any license issued under this chapter, any person found to be in violation of any provision of this chapter shall be subject to a penalty as provided in Chapter
1, General Provisions, Article
I, of this Code.
