  cemetery  corporation;  (2)  a certified survey of the site and location

  operation  of the crematory to include, but not be limited to, number of
  expected cremations per year, number of  cremation  units,  manufacture,
  capital  costs,  financing,  anticipated  number  of employees, types of
  services provided, pricing thereof; (4) a description of the  impact  of
  the proposed crematory on other crematories within the county or whether
  the  crematory will have an adverse impact on the surrounding community;
  (5) plans, designs, and  costs  of  any  structures  to  be  erected  or
  retrofitted for the crematory use; (6) a description of any approvals or

  assistance deemed necessary to review such information. Such information
  shall  not be deemed complete until the requested additional information
  has been received. If no such request is made, the submission  shall  be
  deemed  complete  on  the  thirty-fifth  day  after  its  receipt by the
  division.
    (c) Determination. The  cemetery  board  shall  approve  or  deny  the
  proposed crematory within ninety days of the completed submission.
    (d)  Notification.  The cemetery board shall provide written notice of
  its  determination  to  the  cemetery   corporation.   If   a   negative
  determination  is  made,  such  notice shall state the reasons therefor.

  corporation at its principal office.
