It shall be unlawful to construct, maintain or operate a trailer park
within Hampton Township until a license or valid permit therefor shall have
been obtained in accordance with the provisions of this chapter.
[Amended 3-28-1972]
License applications shall be submitted to the Planning Board for site
plan review. Upon receiving the recommendation of the Planning Board, the
Township Committee shall approve, disapprove, approve conditionally or lay
over for further study the application. Upon approval by the Township Committee,
a one-year license to operate a mobile home park shall be issued by the Township
Clerk. Annual license renewals shall be issued by the Township Clerk when
the applicant certifies in writing that there is no change in the information
contained in the original license application and upon payment of a license
renewal fee of one hundred $110 per stand. When changes in the license provisions
are sought, the applicant shall submit the revised application to the Planning
Board, where the same procedures shall be followed as prescribed for original
license applications.
If an officer, the Building Inspector or any authorized representative
of the Township of Hampton finds that any mobile home park is not being maintained
in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being conducted in accordance
with the provisions of this chapter, or that the applicable fees provided
for in this chapter have not been paid, or that the applicable registration
provisions of this chapter are not being carried out, such facts shall thereupon
be reported to the Township Committee, and said Township Committee may direct
the Township Clerk to serve an order in writing upon the holder of the license
for such park, directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied
within 10 days after date of service of such order. If such conditions are
not corrected after the expiration of said ten-day period, the Township Committee
may cause a notice in writing to be served upon the holder of the license,
requiring the said holder to appear before the Township Committee at a time
specified in such notice and show cause why such license should not be revoked.
The Township Committee may, after a hearing at which testimony of witnesses
may be taken and the holder of the license shall be heard, revoke such license
if said Township Committee shall find that the said park is not being maintained
in a clean and sanitary condition or that any provision of this chapter has
been or is being violated or that the fees provided for in this chapter have
not been paid, or for other sufficient cause. Upon the revocation of such
license, the premises shall immediately cease to be used for the purpose of
a mobile home park and all mobile homes shall forthwith be removed therefrom.
Application for licenses shall be in duplicate and in writing, signed
by the applicant, accompanied by an affidavit of the applicant as to the truth
of the application and by the deposit of a fee in the amount of $125 for each
site or fraction thereof. The license application submitted to the Planning
Board shall contain:

Licenses shall be issued to a specific person or corporate entity and
shall be nontransferable. Every person holding a license shall give notice
in writing to the Township Clerk within 24 hours after having sold, transferred,
given away or otherwise disposed of interest in or control of any mobile home
park.
Prior to the construction, alteration or extension of any mobile home
park, including the construction of any roads, buildings, structures, utilities
or mobile home stands, an application for a building permit shall be filed
with the Building Inspector. The Building Inspector shall issue a building
permit if he finds that the proposed construction is in conformance with the
provisions of the mobile home park license.
Whenever the Building Inspector finds that an emergency exists which
requires immediate action to protect the public health, he may, without notice,
issue an order, with a copy to the Township Committee, reciting the existence
of such emergency and requiring that such action be taken as he may deem necessary
to meet the emergency, including the suspension of the permit or license.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be
effective immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall
comply therewith immediately, but upon petition to the Township Committee
he shall be afforded a hearing as soon as possible.
