At least 30 days before taking final action on any such proposed amendment or change, the Town Board shall transmit a copy of such proposed amendment or change to the Planning Board of the Town of Owego. In the event that the Planning Board of the Town of Owego fails to make a report to the Town Board in connection with any such application or other matter transmitted to it, within said 30 days, then and in such event it shall be deemed that such Planning Board shall have given its consent to such appeal or application.
