North Attleborough, Mass., Code of Bylaws ch 363 § 363-3

A. Application for a license to establish or create a mobile home park, or to alter, modify, rebuild or extend any existing mobile home park, shall be made in writing to the Board of Health of the Town of North Attleborough, which shall hold a public hearing within 30 days of the receipt thereof. Said Board shall notify the applicant, in writing, of its findings within 60 days of the close of such hearing. An application may be withdrawn seven days prior to the public hearing, without prejudice, and resubmitted, without restriction of the two-year limit, at the discretion of the Board of Health. B. Each applicant shall include the following: (1) Plans and specifications. The application shall include a detailed plat of the proposed mobile home park, alteration, modification, rebuilding or extension, drawn to scale, 80 feet to the inch, showing all lots, streets, water and sewer systems, proposed site for individual sewage disposal facilities, if intended; required buffer zones, open space, playgrounds, parking areas; watercourses and other bodies of water, natural or artificial; existing trees within proposed mobile home lots; and shall show the contour of the land involved drawn on a scale of five-foot contour intervals. In the case of property bordering on or including permanent flowing or standing waters, or where the high groundwater elevation is within six feet of the existing or proposed ground surface level, the Board of Health may require the plat to depict existing and proposed contour of the land on a scale of two-foot contour intervals. (2) Site report. The application shall also include a written site report containing the following information: (a) Name and precise location of the proposed mobile home park, alterations, modification, rebuilding or extension. (b) Name and address of the applicant and nature of his interest in the property involved. (c) Statement of nearest public water system, the size of the water main serving the area, the location of existing fire hydrants along any public roads adjacent to the development, and the location of proposed fire hydrants within the mobile home park. (d) Statement of the type of sewage disposal system to be provided or intended to be used in the mobile home park, such as individual system on each lot or the nearest municipal sewage system and whether it is available or feasible to use. If a sewage disposal system other than a community or municipal system or individual lot septic tank and leaching fields is proposed, the application shall include engineering evidence of satisfactory performance as may be required by the Board of Health and shall not include more than two mobile homes per sewage disposal system. (e) Statement of existing use of adjacent properties and intended use of adjacent undeveloped lands, if known. (f) Certified report of a qualified engineer indicating the highest known surface water elevations on the mobile home park site in the last 10 years and, if required by the Board of Health, on adjacent properties. (g) Certified report of a qualified engineer, including an updated U.S.G.S. quadrangle map, of 1:1200 scale, or map of equal detail and scale, designating the location of all flood areas and rivers, streams, creeks, lakes, ponds, swamps, drains, lagoons, and proposed, within or adjacent to the mobile home park. (h) Statement of proposed surface drainage system, which report shall include storm drainage flow direction in the mobile home park and adjacent properties and evidence that existing drainage systems, natural or man-made, are of sufficient size to contain maximum runoff from the site without flooding or erosion. (i) Such additional and supplemental information as the Board of Health may request after review of the application at the public hearing. (3) Soil data for individual system. If subsurface soil absorption sewage treatment (e.g., leaching fields) are proposed for any portion of a mobile home park, the following information shall be submitted for such portion, certified by a qualified professional engineer: (a) A soil investigation report to determine the suitability of soil conditions to individual sewage disposal systems as proposed for the mobile home park, including at least: date; location on mobile home park plan of each test or boring; percolation test results; soil boring results describing each soil material (i.e., clay, shale, ledge, humus silt, sand, gravel, etc.) and its depth in the core sample, to a depth of a minimum of eight feet, and the opinion of the engineer with respect to the apparent suitability of soil conditions for the proposed method of sewage disposal. (b) A percolation test and soil boring shall be made on each lot in a location appropriate for subsurface disposal field, and the results shall be reported as above, except that the Board of Health may determine that more or less than one test or boring per lot is necessary or allowable because of site conditions or other considerations of soil suitability as indicated by the engineer's report. (c) Percolation test shall conform to the State Sanitary Code of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Title 5, as amended. Percolation tests shall be performed during the period of normal high groundwater level as set by the Board of Health. (d) The location of bedrock or impervious soil within eight feet of the natural or proposed finish ground surface shall be shown on the plan wherever revealed by borings or outcroppings upon the surface or in any excavations or cuts. (e) The apparent highest seasonal groundwater elevation with reference to the natural or proposed finish ground surface shall be indicated within the area designated for each lot. (Report shall indicate how groundwater elevations are established.)
