By giving at least 15 days' notice of the time and place of such hearing, which notice shall be published in a paper of general circulation in the Village of Farmingdale.

§ 600-235 Petitions for rezoning, boundary changes or setback changes; filing fee; public hearings.
[Amended 6-25-1951[1]]
A.
Each person requesting a public hearing for a change of zone or an amendment of the boundaries of the zoning district existing under this chapter, or a change in the minimum setback lines shown and designated on the Use District Map being a part of this chapter, shall present to the Board of Trustees a written petition therefor setting forth the grounds upon which such change or amendment is requested, accompanied by a survey or map showing the proposed change and such other information as may be required by the Board of Trustees. Such application shall be filed with the Village Clerk-Treasurer, and the applicant shall pay to said Village Clerk-Treasurer upon the filing thereof a fee as shall be set from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees, with a schedule of such fees to be maintained by the Village Clerk-Treasurer. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to require the Board of Trustees to hold the public hearing upon said petition; provided, however, that if a public hearing is not held thereon, then the fee shall be returned to the applicant.
B.
Fees and expenses. In addition to the other fees required by the Superintendent of Buildings, the applicant shall be required to pay the cost associated with outside engineering, architectural, legal and other consulting professionals retained by or on behalf of the Village of Farmingdale which are deemed necessary by the Superintendent of Buildings to assist with the change of zone application. No building permit shall be issued pursuant to the provisions of this article until all expenses incurred by the Planning Board for outside engineering, architectural, legal and other consulting professionals or other extraordinary expenses in connection with the review of a site plan are reimbursed to the Village by the applicant. At the time of application, the applicant shall deposit with the Village Clerk-Treasurer such amount to cover consultation fees and extraordinary expenses as shall be established from time to time by resolution of the Board of Trustees.
