Section 132-5 of Nichols, N.Y., Code of Ordinances ch. 132 establishes the documentation requirements for a mobile home park application. Every application must be submitted with three complete sets of professionally prepared plans drawn to a specified scale, and those plans must cover four broad categories of information: legal data about the applicant and the proposed site, physical features of the land, existing nearby development, and details of the proposed development. The provision ensures that decision-makers have a comprehensive, standardized picture of both the site and the applicant before any review proceeds.
Plain English — not legal advice.
Operators or developers seeking to establish a mobile home park in Nichols, N.Y., under ch. 132 § 132-5 generally prepare three identical, fully detailed plan sets before submitting an application. Compliant submissions typically include all required legal data—such as applicant identity, lot count, and a copy of proposed lease and park rules—alongside physical site data, maps of surrounding development, and a thorough proposed-development section covering utilities, drainage, grading, lighting, and zoning. Ensuring every subsection of § 132-5 is addressed before filing helps avoid delays caused by incomplete submissions.
