2005 Vermont Code - § 2255. — Grant or denial of application; appeal

§ 2255. Grant or denial of application; appeal

After the hearing the legislative body shall, within two weeks, make a finding as to whether or not the application should be granted, giving notice of their finding to the applicant by mail, postage prepaid, to the address given on the application. If approved, the certificate of approved location shall be forthwith issued to remain in effect for not less than three nor more than five years from the following July 1. Approval shall be personal to the applicant and not assignable. Certificates of approval shall be renewed thereafter for successive periods of not less than three nor more than five years upon payment of the renewal fee without hearing, provided all provisions of this subchapter are complied with during the preceding period, and the junkyard does not become a public nuisance under the common law. Any person dissatisfied with the granting or denial of an application may appeal to the superior court for the county in which the proposed junkyard is located. The court by its order may affirm the action of the legislative body or direct the legislative body to grant or deny the application. No costs shall be taxed against either party upon such appeal.
