A public hearing shall be held by the planning board on each project plan application no earlier than 60 days or later than 90 days after the filing of an optional method of development application; but this time period may be extended by the planning board if requested by interested parties or by planning board staff, provided that such extension shall be found to be reasonable and not to constitute prejudice or undue hardship to any interested party.
Not later than 15 days after the filing of an optional method of development application, the applicant shall send written notice by registered mail of the date upon which the public hearing required herein has been set, stating the location and type of use which has been applied for, to all adjacent property owners and appropriate civic and business associations of record with the planning board. The applicant shall file the receipts from the registered mailing with the planning board not later than 15 days prior to the date set for public hearing.
Within 3 days after filing the application, the applicant shall erect a sign, to be furnished by the commission, on the property to which the application applies. Such sign shall be erected within 10 feet of each boundary line of such land that abuts a public road, in such a manner as may most readily be seen by the public, the bottom of the sign being not less than 2 ½ feet from the ground. The signs shall be maintained in good condition by the applicant until the final disposition of the application.
A certificate of posting in such form as shall be required by the Planning Board shall be filed by the applicant with the Planning Board on the date of the public hearing. Failure to file such certificate shall result in dismissal of the application by the Planning Board. The sign shall be of such color or colors as the Planning Board shall direct, shall have a height and width of not less than 2 and 3 feet, respectively, and shall bear conspicuously in lettering not less than 4 inches in height, the following information:
