Sec. 59-D-5.2. Public hearing-Notification.

The Planning Board must hold a public hearing on each combined urban renewal project plan application no earlier than 60 days or later than 90 days after the filing of an optional method of development application. This time period may be extended by the Planning Board if an interested party or the Planning Board staff so requests, and the extension is reasonable and does not prejudice or create undue hardship for any interested party.

Not later than 15 days after the filing of a combined urban renewal project plan application, the applicant must send written notice by registered mail of the date of the public hearing, stating the location and type of use which has been applied for, to all adjoining and confronting property owners and those civic and business associations listed with the Planning Board. The applicant must file the receipts from the registered mailing with the Planning Board not later than 15 days before the public hearing.

Not later than 3 days after filing the application, the applicant must place a sign furnished by the Board on the property to which the application applies. The sign must be located within 10 feet of each boundary line of the land that abuts a public road, in such a manner as may most readily be seen by the public. The bottom of the sign must be at least 2 feet from the ground. The applicant must maintain each sign in good condition until the final disposition of the application.

The applicant must file a certificate of posting, in a form required by the Planning Board, with the Board on the date of the public hearing. The Planning Board must dismiss the application if the applicant does not file the certificate in a timely manner. The sign must be of such color or colors as the Planning Board will direct, must have a height and width of not less than 2 and 3 feet, respectively, and must bear conspicuously in lettering not less than 4 inches high, the following information:
