Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators seeking to establish a mobile home park in Mamakating must comply fully with the application requirements set out in § 131-6 before any permit will be considered. A compliant applicant prepares three complete sets of all materials — including plans drawn to scale by a registered architect or licensed professional engineer — and secures New York State Department of Health endorsement on those plans before submitting anything to the Town Clerk. Where the applicant does not own the premises, operators also include a copy of the lease and written owner consent, ensuring no required element is missing that could prevent the application from being entertained.
