(A) The petitioner or the petitioner’s agent must appear in person or by counsel to present petition or remonstrance to the Board and for the Board to consider the case. If no person appears on behalf of a petition, the petition may be tabled until the following meeting or dismissed under division (B) below.
(B) The Board’s Secretary or staff must be informed in writing prior to the meeting if the petitioner requests a time extension. The Chairperson will determine whether the petitioner’s reasons warrant an extension. If the petitioner or the petitioner’s agent fail to appear at the meeting for which the extension was given without sufficient reason, the petition may be dismissed.
