Appeals are limited to persons who have presented written and/or oral testimony at the hearing(s) before the Bay City Planning Commission and City Council. Failure to raise an issue at the public hearing, in person or by letter, or the failure to provide sufficient specificity to allow the Planning Commission and City Council an opportunity to respond to the issue precludes an appeal on that issue. Unless there is a continuance, if a participant so requests, the record shall remain open for at least seven (7) days after the initial evidentiary hearing. If the hearing is continued, no further public notice will be provided.
