adjacent thereto, or would result in a public nuisance or disturbance.

b hereof in the rendering of such determinations.

a hearing date beyond that requested in the application for a permit,
the applicant shall be permitted to amend his application on appeal

and regulations and all applicable ordinances as fully as though the
