(A) Written comment. Any person has the right to submit written comment concerning the proposed facility with the Village Clerk, at any time after the receipt of an application by the Village Clerk or postmarked not later than 30 days after the date of the last date of the public hearing. Written comments shall be made part of the public record. If the thirtieth day falls on a Sunday or a federal holiday, the next day on which mail is delivered shall be considered the thirtieth day for purposes of this division. Any person who submits written comment, or files documentation or information for the public record, shall identify whether they have submitted a notice of participation to the Village Clerk or Hearing Officer with the information requested in § 100.07(B)(1)(j) and, if not, provide that information with their written comment. Should a written public comment be submitted to the Village Clerk without this information, it shall still be accepted and placed into the record, but the Village Board may attribute less credibility to such comment.
(B) Oral comment. Any person has the right to provide oral, unsworn comment during the public hearing, upon reasonable notice to the Hearing Officer that the person desires to provide such comment. This type of comment, since it is not provided under oath, is not subject to cross-examination.
