Section 16:47-6.6 - Public notice and hearing

(a) Upon completion and submission of the access management plan, the Department, municipalities, and counties participating in the joint planning process shall hold a public hearing thereon at a location designated by the Commissioner. A minimum of 15 days notice thereof shall be provided in a local newspaper of general circulation and by mail to owners of lots for which access is designed and upon which any improvements set forth in the plan are located, and to all municipalities and counties located within 200 feet (60 meters) of such lots. The notice shall give the time and place of the hearing and provide that public comments on the proposed plan may be made to the Commissioner.

(b) The working committee shall meet and review the comments made during the public comment period within 60 days after the public comment period. It shall make whatever amendments to the access management plan are appropriate in light of the comments and within 60 days of such meeting, submit any revisions to the plan to the Commissioner. Such revisions shall be signed by all members of the working committee. Revisions that propose changes in the location, but not the number, of driveways and streets shall be classified as minor revisions and shall not require a new public hearing. All other revisions shall be classified as major, unless otherwise designated by the Commissioner, and shall require a new public hearing.
