§ 39-32-4. Action on permit applications.
(a) An authority shall approve an application for a permit under this chapter unless the
collocation does not meet applicable building or electrical codes or, if applicable,
standards for construction in the right-of-way, provided such codes and standards
are of general applicability. The authority must document the basis for any denial,
including the specific code provisions or standards on which the denial was based,
and send the documentation to the applicant on or before the day the authority denies
an application. The applicant may cure the deficiencies identified by the authority
and resubmit the application within thirty (30) days of the denial without paying
an additional processing fee. The authority shall approve or deny the revised application
within thirty (30) days. Any subsequent denial shall be limited to the deficiencies
cited in the original denial. Where one or more locations addressed in a consolidated
application do not meet the criteria of this section, the authority shall allow the
application as to all other locations.
(b) An application shall be deemed approved if the authority fails to approve or deny
the application within sixty (60) days of submission. If the authority notifies the
applicant within fourteen (14) days after the initial submission that the application
is incomplete and reasonably identifies at that time the information that is lacking,
the time period stated above shall be tolled during the time it takes the applicant
to respond. No other request for additional information shall toll such time periods.
(c) A person whose application or revised application is denied by an authority may appeal
to the superior court within thirty (30) days of the denial. The superior court shall
have jurisdiction to determine all disputes arising under this chapter.
