(d)

The clerk shall promptly notify the proprietor of approval or rejection in writing; if rejected, reasons shall be given.

Final approval shall be effective for a period of two years from the date of final approval. The two-year period may be extended if applied for by the proprietor and granted by the City Council in writing.
