§ 22-400. Application review; approval, delay or denial; appeal.

(a)

When the permit application has been completed and all permit requirements addressed, the application shall be submitted to the office of the public works administrator/county engineer for final review.

(b)

The public administrator/county engineer or his designee, within ten working days thereafter, shall either:

(1)

Approve the application; or

(2)

Notify the applicant in writing of the reasons for the delay or denial.

a.

If a delay is necessary, the reasons for the delay and any additional necessary information shall be explained to the applicant mover in writing.

b.

If additional necessary information is not supplied by the applicant within 30 days after being notified, the notification of delay shall constitute a notice of denial.

Where the public works administrator/county engineer denies the issuance of a permit, the applicant may appeal by filing a written notice of appeal with the board of county commissioners within ten working days after notification of denial. The applicant may then appear before the board and present facts supporting his position. Thereafter, the decision of the board of county commissioners shall be final.
