(a)

Applications. Permits shall be required for all mobile/manufactured dwellings, mobile/manufactured commercial buildings, retail stands, and concession trailers as provided for in article V. Permit applications shall be obtained from the department of planning and development, and a recommendation based on staff findings shall be forwarded to the city council for action.

(b)

Signs on proposed lots. A sign shall be erected on any lot, which is the subject of an application filed pursuant to this section. This sign shall be erected facing the street and visible and readable from the street for a period of at least 15 days prior to the city council considering the application.

(c)

[Notification.] Applicants shall notify, by certified mail, all property owners within 160 feet of the subject property and all neighborhood organizations within 1,000 feet, exclusive of streets and rights-of-way, informing them of the date, time, and place when the application will be considered by the city council. The notice shall be mailed at least 15 days prior to the city council considering the application.

(d)

Validity. Permits issued under this section shall be valid for a period of one year from the date of issuance to the specific name and approved location only.

(e)

Renewal. The city council may, at its discretion, after having determined where there is a need and in the best interest of the city and where such renewal will not have an adverse effect on surrounding land uses, renew such permit for an additional one year.

Application procedure. All applications submitted under this section shall be accompanied by a detailed site plan drawn at a scale to allow adequate review. Site plans shall include the following:

• Property boundary lines and dimensions, available utilities, and location of easements, underground petroleum storage tanks and aboveground dispensing facilities, where applicable, roadways, rail lines, and public rights-of-way crossing adjacent to the subject property.

• The location of any existing buildings or structures on the site.

• Mobile/manufactured dwellings or mobile/manufactured commercial buildings placed under this section must have proper utilities and sewage connections before the unit is occupied. Upon failure to actually make such connections within 24 hours of the placement, the building inspector is authorized to cancel the permit and institute proceedings for the removal of such unit.
