(A) Request prior to publication of notice. An applicant may request that a decision-making body’s consideration of an application at public hearing be deferred by submitting a written request for deferral to the Ordinance Administrator prior to the publication of notice for the public hearing. The Ordinance Administrator may grant such requests for good cause. The date of the public hearing at which the application will be heard shall be set at the time the deferral is granted.
(B) Request after publication of notice. If a request for deferral of consideration of an application by a decision-making body is submitted subsequent to publication of notice, the request for deferral shall be placed on the public hearing agenda and acted upon by the decision-making body. The decision-making body may grant such requests for good cause. The date of the public hearing at which the application will be heard shall be set at the time the deferral is granted. If a deferral is granted, the application may be subject to additional application fees to defray the costs of processing the application. Any additional fees must be paid to the town prior to the re-advertisement of the public hearing notice.
