At the end of such period, the Town Board shall reinspect such mobile home park and, if such conditions or practices have not been corrected, shall suspend the license and give notice in writing of such suspension to the person to whom the license is issued.

Whenever the Town Board determines that there are reasonable grounds to believe that there has been a violation of any provision of this chapter, the Town Board may order the discontinuance of such violation and shall give notice of such alleged violation to the person to whom the permit or license was issued. Such notice shall be in writing, include a statement of the reasons for its issuance, allow a reasonable time for the performance of the act it requires, and contain an outline of remedial action which, if taken, will effect compliance with the provisions of this chapter. Such notice and order shall have been properly served when a copy thereof has been sent by registered United States Mail to the last registered post office address of the permittee or licensee as registered with the Town Clerk or when the same has been personally served upon the attorney-in-fact of such permittee or licensee or when the same shall have been served in any other manner as provided by the Wisconsin Statutes for the service of process.
Any person affected by any notice which has been issued in connection with the enforcement of any provisions of this chapter may request and shall be granted a hearing on the matter before the Town Board, provided that such person shall file in the office of the Town Board a written petition requesting such hearing and setting forth a brief statement of the grounds therefor within 10 days after the day such notice or order was served.
The filing of the request for a hearing shall operate as a stay of the notice and of the order, except in the case of an order issued under Subsection E. Upon receipt of such petition, the Town Board shall set a time and place for such hearing and shall give the petitioner written notice thereof.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, such order shall be effective immediately. Any person to whom such an order is directed shall comply therewith immediately but upon petition to the Town Board shall be afforded a hearing as soon as possible.[1]
Where the Town Board finds that compliance with provisions of this chapter would result in undue hardship, an exemption may be granted by the Town Board without impairing the intent and purpose of this chapter. Deviations from design, construction and installation provisions shall be brought into compliance with this chapter within a reasonable period of time based on economic feasibility of improvement, nature, significance, and extent of deviation, depreciation of material, improvement, layout in use and other similar factors.
