C. Filing Deadlines:
1. Applications Requiring Hearing Or Meeting: An application requiring a public hearing or meeting will not be scheduled for such hearing or meeting unless filed, in proper form and number and containing all required information, not later than thirty (30) days prior to the requested hearing or meeting date. An application so filed will be scheduled for hearing or meeting on the requested hearing or meeting date, or on the first available date thereafter open on the relevant hearing or meeting agenda. All public hearings and meetings to consider applications filed pursuant to this title shall, unless otherwise provided by order of the relevant body, be scheduled at the same time as the regular meetings of such body.
2. Applications Not Requiring Hearing Or Meeting: An application that does not require a public hearing shall be filed, in proper form and number and containing all required information. An application so filed will be processed on a first filed, first processed basis.
3. Supplemental Data: Whenever supplemental data in connection with a previously filed application is required by the village or offered by the applicant, it shall be submitted at least fifteen (15) days prior to the date on which it is to be considered at a hearing or a meeting or acted upon in connection with such application. The filing of such data shall, in the discretion of the zoning official and of the body hearing the application, be cause to delay a requested or scheduled hearing or decision date.
D. Minimum Data Requirements: Every application submitted pursuant to this title shall contain such information as is required by the zoning official or any official, board or commission before which such application is pending.
E. Special Data Requests: In addition to the data and information required pursuant to this section, every applicant shall submit such other and additional data, information, or documentation as the zoning official or any official, board or commission before which its application is pending may deem necessary or appropriate to a full and proper consideration and disposition of the particular application.
F. Waiver Of Application Requirements: Notwithstanding any other provision of this section, the zoning official shall have the authority to waive any requirement set forth herein when, in his or her judgment, such waiver is appropriate in light of the nature and extent of the relief being sought or in light of special circumstances making compliance with those provisions either unnecessary or unduly burdensome; provided, however, that any official board or commission before which such application may come shall continue to have the right to request additional information pursuant to subsection E of this section, and to delay processing of such application until such information is provided and available in accordance with the deadlines established in this chapter.
G. Concurrent Applications: When a proposed use or development requires more than one approval pursuant to this title, applications for all such approvals may be filed concurrently notwithstanding the fact that approval of one application may be a precondition to approval of other applications. Such applications may, in the discretion of the official, officials, body, or bodies charged with review of such applications be processed together; provided, however, that no application shall be approved unless all applications that are a precondition to its approval have first been approved.
H. Withdrawal Of Application: An applicant may withdraw an application at any time prior to a final decision having been rendered with respect thereto. Such withdrawal shall be made in writing and shall be without prejudice to the applicant's right to refile such application. Any such refiling shall be treated as an entirely new filing and shall be subject to the procedures and fees of this title in the same manner as any other new application.
I. Refund Of Fees: The refund of fees for application withdrawn pursuant to section 9-3-4 of this chapter, shall be subject to the rules and procedures adopted from time to time by the administrative body having jurisdiction over the individual application. (Ord. 2000-O-005, 2-14-2000)
