Operators and developers planning a mobile home park in Barton should be aware that § 97-30 requires a preliminary permit application to be filed with the Town Clerk before any park development proceeds. A compliant applicant assembles all required documentation — including legal property descriptions, deed references, tax map designations, and, for parks of two or more lots, a map prepared by a licensed architect or engineer — and submits the nonrefundable filing fee at the time of filing. Once the completed application and fee are received, the submission is placed on the agenda for the Town Board's next regularly scheduled meeting for further review.
