Permits run through December 31 of the year issued, are not transferable, and require health department approvals, a code enforcement inspection, and Planning Board authorization before they can be granted. Existing parks at the time of enactment were allowed to continue operating, but only if they filed an application with the Town Clerk within 30 days and remained in full compliance with applicable state and county requirements.
