A board shall fix a reasonable time for a public hearing on an appeal or variance. Before holding the public hearing, written notice of such hearing shall be given in one or more newspapers of general circulation at least 30 days before the date of said hearing. The notice shall set forth the time and place of the public hearing, and the nature of the proposed appeal or variance. The notice shall also state that after a final decision by the Board, the decision can be appealed to the Hocking County Court of Common Pleas, as provided in R.C. Chapter 2506. In addition, notices shall also be sent, by first class mail, to all owners of property within 200 feet of the property in question and to such others as the Board determines should receive such notice. Notices to individual property owners shall contain the same information as required of notices published in the newspaper, and shall inform the person that they have the right to appear in person or by attorney. Upon the day for hearing any appeal or variance, the Board may adjourn the hearing in order to obtain additional information or to cause such further notice as it deems proper to be served upon such other property owners as it decides may be interested in the appeal or variance. In the case of an adjourned hearing, persons previously notified and persons already heard need not be notified of the time of resumption of such hearing unless the Board so decides.
