The Planning Board may advertise and hold public hearings when it desires, notice of which hearings shall be advertised at least once in a newspaper of general circulation in the Village and by posting a notice of hearing in at least three prominent places at least five days before each such hearing.

The Planning Board may establish, subject to approval by the Village Board of Trustees, filing and processing fees to be charged to an applicant and collected by the Planning Board for services rendered in connection with the work of the Planning Board for which it is deemed necessary to charge and collect such fees.
The authority having final jurisdiction over any matter in which said Planning Board also has jurisdiction in accordance with the aforementioned laws shall not proceed to such final action until such Planning Board has made its final report thereon to such authority, but if such Planning Board shall not have made its final report thereon within 45 days from the date of reference thereto, the authority having final jurisdiction may proceed to final action. This section shall not be construed to prevent the Board of Trustees from granting, in any specific case, such longer period as it may fix within which said Board may make its final report, and if such longer period is granted, the authority having final jurisdiction shall not, in the absence of such report, proceed to final action until that longer period shall have elapsed.
