(a)
It shall
be unlawful for any person to locate, maintain or live in any manufactured
housing or to replace any existing manufactured housing in any place
other than in a duly licensed and lawful manufactured housing park
unless such person shall first secure a permit from the city manufactured
housing park board.
(b)
Permits
shall be issued by the manufactured housing park board upon application
therefor filed by the applicant for such license. The application
shall contain the name and address of the applicant and a description
of the property upon which such manufactured housing is to be located.
Such application shall be filed with the city manager who shall examine
the same, and if he finds the same to be in proper form he shall refer
such application to the manufactured housing park board, and such
application shall be set down for further hearing after notice of
the time and place of hearing shall have been given by publishing
notice thereof once a week for two consecutive weeks in some newspaper
of general circulation published in the city which notice shall give
the name of the applicant, a description of the property to which
it relates, and the date, time and place of the hearing. The cost
of publishing such notice shall be paid by the applicant. Upon such
hearing, a permit may be granted if such application conforms to the
guidelines for the issuance for permits now or which may hereafter
be promulgated by the city council and by the board. However, no such
permit shall be issued unless adequate water, electric and sewer facilities
shall be available within a reasonable distance of such manufactured
housing location and shall be granted only upon the condition that
such manufactured housing shall be connected with the sewer system
and shall have installed water, reasonable sanitary facilities and
shall be connected with electricity.
(c)
A permit shall be granted upon application to all present owners of single mobile, homes under subsection (b) above.
(d)
Such permit, when issued, shall be valid as long as the manufactured housing, with respect to which permit was issued, remains in place on such location for three months thereafter. Such permit is assignable during the previously mentioned three month period by the original permittee, and within such three month period, another manufactured housing may be moved into the same location as where the original manufactured housing was located without applying for a new permit. If each manufactured housing with a permit is moved and not replaced by another manufactured housing within a period of three months, a new permit shall be applied for as provided in subsection (b) above. However, such permit may be revoked for failure to pay the monthly license fee hereinafter set out.
