Applications
for a manufactured housing or mobile home and/or travel trailer park
license shall be filed with the city council, and upon approval by
the city council, and having first obtained a building permit from
the city building official, the city secretary shall issue the license.
Applications shall be in writing, signed by the applicant, and shall

The location and legal description of the manufactured housing or
mobile home and/or travel trailer park;

constructed, water, sewer, gas, electricity, telephone, and garbage
disposal, or to be constructed, with the manufactured housing or mobile
home and/or travel trailer park.

the proposed plans and specifications. Each of them shall then make
a report to the city council concerning such applicant and include
therein their recommendations relative to the issuance of a license.
If the mobile home and/or travel trailer park will be in compliance
with all provisions of this article and all other applicable ordinances
or statutes, the city council may approve the application, and, in

completion of the park according to the plans and specifications submitted
with the application. After approval of park by the city council,
before any work is started, there shall be a building permit acquired
from the city building official. The city secretary, at the direction
of the city council, shall issue the license.

the license has been revoked, the license may be reissued if the reasons
for the revocation have been duly corrected.
