§ 22-11. Notification of denial and right of appeal.

(a)

Any applicant who is denied a special event permit by the town manager will be notified in writing. Said notification will state the reasons for the denial and the right of appeal to the town council, and will be sent by registered mail to the applicant.

(b)

The applicant will have ten days from receipt of the written notification of permit denial to request an appeal hearing before the town council. If the appeal cannot be heard by the town council prior to the date when the event is scheduled to be held, the filing of an appeal will not entitle the applicant to conduct the event on that date but, if the appeal is successful, the applicant may hold the event on a rescheduled date that is after the town council meeting at which the appeal was heard.

(c)

An appeal of the decision of the town council may be made to the circuit court by filing a petition for writ of certiorari as provided for under the Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure. A decision of the town council will be deemed to have been rendered on the date the town council votes to either grant or deny the appeal.
