Revocation of license
Operative Text
A. If the Zoning Officer finds that any manufactured home park or campground is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or is not being operated or maintained in accordance with this chapter, such facts shall thereupon be reported to the Town Board in writing and the Town Board may direct the Zoning Officer to serve or cause to be served an order in writing upon the holder of the license or the person in charge of said manufactured home park or campground, directing that the conditions therein specified be remedied within five days, the Town Board may cause a notice to be served in writing upon the holder of said license to appear before the Town Board at a time to be specified in such notice and to show cause why such manufactured home park or campground license should not be revoked. The Town Board may, after a hearing at which testimony of witnesses may be taken and the holder of the license shall be given an opportunity to be heard, revoke such license if the Town Board shall find that the manufactured home park or campground is not being maintained in a clean and sanitary condition or if it finds that any provision of this chapter has been violated. Upon revocation of such license, the premises shall forthwith cease to be used for the purpose of a manufactured home park or campground and all manufactured homes, tents or recreational vehicles shall be removed forthwith therefrom. At any such hearing, the holder of the license may be represented by counsel. B. In case of emergency which is dangerous to or threatens the health or safety of any of the occupants of the manufactured park or campground or of the public, the Code Enforcement Officer and/or the Zoning Officer may suspend the license until a hearing can be had before the Town Board as hereinabove provided and the use of such manufactured home park or campground shall cease until otherwise ordered by the Town Board.
Manchester, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 217 § 217-70 establishes a process by which the Town Board may revoke the operating license of a manufactured home park or campground that is not kept in a clean and sanitary condition or that violates the requirements of Chapter 217. The process begins with a written report from the Zoning Officer, followed by a written order giving the operator five days to correct identified problems, and then a formal hearing before the Town Board at which the license holder may present testimony and be represented by counsel. If the license is ultimately revoked, all manufactured homes, tents, and recreational vehicles must be removed from the premises immediately. In emergency situations that threaten occupant or public health and safety, the Code Enforcement Officer or Zoning Officer may suspend the license on an interim basis pending a Town Board hearing.
