At any public hearing conducted by the Board, the Chairperson shall
preside. The proponent of the matter which is the subject of the hearing shall
make his statement to the Board. Any witnesses who support the proponents
position shall then be heard, followed by opponents. The members of the Board
may question any witness after he has made his statement to the Board. The
Chairperson may, for the purpose of expediting lengthy meetings, limit the
time in which persons appearing before the Board may speak. The Board may
also accept written submissions of any interested party at a public hearing.
These bylaws may be amended by a resolution passed by a majority of
the Planning Board after a public hearing, subject to the approval of the
Town Board.
