A time limit is necessary so that projects <br /> are not delayed indefinitely between meetings . <br /> No citizen comments were received when the amendment <br /> was presented at public hearing on November 27, 1989 . <br /> The amendment was considered by the Planning Board on <br /> December 18, 1989 . The Planning Board agreed with the <br /> 45-day deadline suggested by the Planning Staff, but <br /> recommended additional language to clarify when the <br /> 45-day period begins: <br /> The Board of Commissioners shall receive the <br /> Planning Department's report and the Planning <br /> Board's recommendation within forty-five (45) days <br />
