2017 Ohio Revised Code
Title [49] XLIX PUBLIC UTILITIES
Chapter 4939 - USE OF MUNICIPAL PUBLIC WAY
Section 4939.035 - Tolling of time period for consent.

(A) The ninety-day time period required in section 4939.031 of the Revised Code may be tolled only:

(1) By mutual agreement between the entity requesting consent and the municipal corporation;

(2) In cases where the municipal corporation determines that the application is incomplete; or

(3) By the municipal corporation in the event it has an extraordinary number of wireless facilities contained in pending requests, in which case the municipal corporation may toll the ninety-day period for a reasonable amount of days not exceeding an additional ninety days.

(B) To toll the time period for incompleteness, the municipal corporation shall provide written notice to the entity requesting consent not later than thirty days after receiving the request, clearly and specifically delineating all missing documents or information. The missing documents or information shall be reasonably related to determining whether the request meets the requirements of applicable federal and state law. Any notice of incompleteness requiring other information or documentation, including information of the type described in section 4939.0315 of the Revised Code or documentation intended to illustrate the need for the request or to justify the business decision for the request, does not toll the time period.

(C) The time period begins running again when the entity makes a supplemental submission in response to the municipal corporation's notice of incompleteness.

(D) If a supplemental submission is inadequate, the municipal corporation shall notify the entity not later than ten days after receiving the supplemental submission that the supplemental submission did not provide the information identified in the original notice delineating missing documents or information. The time period may be tolled in the case of second or subsequent notices under the procedures identified in divisions (A) to (C) of this section. Second or subsequent notices of incompleteness may not specify missing documents or information that were not delineated in the original notice of incompleteness.
