[Massplanners] Length of Special Permit public hearings

[Comia, Ken]

Hi Planners,

Not sure if there's guidance out there regarding the length of time a special permit public hearing item can stay open. Knowing MGL has its requirements for when hearings are to be convened and decisions to be rendered, are there guidelines on how long a public hearing can stay open with proper acknowledgments throughout the process on extension requests and continuances to date certain? Is there a practice regarding this?

Any insight will be greatly appreciated.

Ken
