Plain English

Section 89-5 of Schaghticoke's Code of Ordinances establishes a multi-step review process that a mobile home park license application must pass through before a final decision is made. The application is distributed to the Town Code Enforcement Officer and the Town Planning Board, each of which has 30 days to evaluate the proposal against health, sanitary, and land-use standards and report back to the Town Board. The Town Board then has 60 days from the original filing date to approve or disapprove the application by resolution, and the applicant must be notified in writing within five days of that decision. If the application is denied, the applicant retains the right to appear before the Town Board for a hearing.

For Property Managers

Operators seeking to open or license a mobile home park in Schaghticoke should be aware that § 89-5 requires a written, signed application submitted in triplicate to the Town Clerk. A compliant applicant ensures the submission includes all information needed for the Code Enforcement Officer's health and sanitary review and the Planning Board's site-layout review, since both bodies report to the Town Board within 30 days. Tracking the 60-day Town Board decision window and the five-day written-notification requirement helps an operator stay informed about next steps, including the right to request a hearing if the application is disapproved.

For Tenants

Section 89-5 of Schaghticoke's Code of Ordinances governs how a mobile home park license application is reviewed, which directly affects the standards a park must meet before it can legally operate. Residents or prospective residents can monitor the process because the Town Clerk is required to publish a notice in the official town newspaper when an application is filed, creating a public record of pending park proposals. Those with concerns about a proposed park's compliance with health, sanitary, or land-use standards may wish to contact the Town Planning Board or Town Board during the review period, or consult a tenant-rights organization familiar with New York mobile home park regulations.
