If the party requesting Town approval is current on some, but not all obligations owed to the Town, the approval, permit, license and/or Town service being applied for shall be denied until such time as all Town obligations are current and fully complied with.
Any applicant for a permit or other form of

of the Town may appeal that denial to the Town Manager or his designee
within 20 calendar days of such denial. The Town Manager, or his designee,
shall thereafter hold a hearing at which said applicant shall be permitted
to provide proof that such payment has been made or that a required
action or filing has been properly carried out or otherwise show that
such denial is based on incorrect information or is not appropriate
as to that applicant.
