DECISION.

On any application, request or appeal for which a public hearing is scheduled, the Commission shall render its decision within 65 days after the hearing is closed. In case on which no public hearing is held, the Commission shall make its decision on the application within 65 days after the regular meeting at which the application is received. The applicant may consent in writing to one or more extensions of the sixty-five-day period provided any such extension or extensions shall not exceed a further period of 65 days. If an application involves wetlands activities and the time for a decision by the Planning Commission would elapse before the 35th day after a decision by the Inlands Wetlands Commission, the time period for a decision shall be extended to 35 days after such agency's decision. The provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to apply to any extension consented to by an applicant.
