Upon application duly filed with a permit fee of $10.00, the building inspector of the city shall be authorized to issue a permit for temporary location and human occupancy of not more than one trailer, mobile home, camp car or trailer coach on a lot or parcel of land in the city on which lot or parcel of land there is being constructed a residence, church, or commercial building, for a period not exceeding 30 days. Any such permit shall be issued only upon approval of sanitary facilities and location by the building inspector and shall be renewable for not more than three consecutive additional 30-day periods upon payment of a permit fee in the amount of $10.00 for each such renewable 30-day period. Should the building inspector of the city refuse to issue a permit as in this section provided, then and in such event the applicant for such permit may make application directly to the city council, and the city council shall consider the application at its next regular meeting or special meeting called for that purpose, at which meeting the building inspector and applicant may appear, after not less than ten days' previous notice of such hearing, and be heard. The decision of the city council, upon such application filed with it after denial of permit by the building inspector, shall be final.
