(A) Applications for a text amendment to the addressing chapter shall be filed with the chapter administrator at least ten days prior to the date on which it is to be filed with the Planning Board. The chapter administrator shall be responsible for presenting the application to the Board of County Commissioners. Each application shall be signed, be in a duplicated form, and shall contain the following:
(1) The applicant’s name and address in full;
(2) In the case of a text amendment, it shall set forth the new text to be added and the existing text to be deleted and any other text changes that will have to be made as a result of the effect on the remaining articles, sections, definitions, diagrams, or attachments; and
(3) In the case of a request to name a road, change the name of an existing road, re-address or change address assignments to a road, the petition shall be presented to and reviewed by the Technical Review Committee. An aggrieved party may appeal a decision of the Technical Review Committee to the Planning Board as prescribed in § 155.170.
(B) All proposed text amendments to the addressing chapter shall be submitted to the Planning Board for review and recommendation. The Planning Board shall have 30 days to submit its report. If the Planning Board fails to submit its report within the above period, it shall be deemed to have approved the proposed amendment.
(C) A public hearing shall be held by the Board of County Commissioners before the adoption of any proposed text amendments to the addressing chapter. When the Board of County Commissioners shall have denied any application for the change of a portion or matter of the addressing chapter, it shall not thereafter accept any other application for the same change involving that portion or matter of the chapter until the expiration of six months from the date of such previous denial.
(D) Before any action shall be taken on a text amendment request, the party or parties proposing or recommending the amendment shall with the petition for such change deposit any required fee with the chapter administrator at the time the petition is filed to cover publication and other miscellaneous cost for the change. Under no conditions shall the fee or any part thereof be refunded for failure of the amendment to be adopted. However, in the event an application is withdrawn prior to the time it is ordered advertised for hearing by the chapter administrator, three- fourths of the fee shall be refunded.
