Development Permit Applications. When a formal application for a Development Permit for a discretionary use is received by the initiating municipality, the application is to be circulated to the responding municipality, allowing a thirty (30) day response time from the date of circulation. Upon circulation of an application for a Development Permit, the administration of the responding municipality will review the proposal and provide a formal letter of concern or support for the application back to the initiating municipality within thirty (30) days of circulation. In the case of a letter of concern, it is important that the responding municipality clearly identify the specific issues as well as provide suggestions on how these issues may be addressed. In addition to other pertinent information submitted with the Development Permit application, the Development Authority of the initiating municipality will give serious consideration to the responding municipality’s letter of concern or support when making a decision on the proposal. Once the Development Authority issues a decision on the application then the responding municipality may appeal the issuance of the decision within fourteen days to the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board under the provisions of Sections 685, 686 and 687 of the Municipal Government Act.
