When does the time begin to ran? <br />Are extensions allowed? <br />73 <br />after June 1, 2003. <br />In an unpublished opinion (and therefore without <br />precedential value), the Minnesota Court of Appeals <br />determined that "other governmental action" did not <br />apply to actions with a statewide effect, and <br />therefore the 60 -day rule did not apply. In the <br />matter ofSystem Designation of Multi -Flo <br />Wisconsin Aerobic Treatment Units, CO -01-823, <br />2001 WL 1665410, 2001 Lexis 1425 (Minn. App., <br />Dec. 21, 2001) (request for approval of a septic <br />system as a standard under state agency rules). <br />The 60 days begins to run when the agency receives <br />a complete application. The 60 days begins again <br />upon receipt of a complete amended application. <br />Tollefson Dev. Co. v. City of Elle River, 665 N. W.2d <br />554 (Minn. App. 2003). The application fee, if any, <br />is one of the items that must be paid before an <br />application is complete. The agency has 15 business <br />days after receiving any part of an application to <br />inform an applicant in writing that the application is <br />missing some required element, Minn. Stat. § <br />15.99, subd. 3 (a). If more than one state agency in <br />the executive branch. must approve or deny the <br />application, the 60 days runs beginning when the <br />first one receives the complete application and it is <br />up to that agency to make sure all other agencies get <br />copies of the application. Minn. Stat. § 15.99, subd. <br />3 (b). <br />An agency may extend the review period by up to <br />60 days if it provides the applicant written notice of <br />and reasons for the extension before the end of the <br />initial 60 days. Minn. Stat. § 15.99, subd. (f). The <br />notice of extension must be made after the complete <br />application is submitted and the initial 60 days has <br />begun to run. American Tower, L.P. v. City of <br />Grant, 636 N.W.2d 309, 313 (Minn. 2001). An <br />agency does not have to have extenuating <br />circumstances to extend the review time; it is <br />enough that the agency needs more time. Id. at 314. <br />The law also takes into account other proceedings or <br />federal law requirements that may delay the <br />beeinnina of the 60-dav period. Minn. Stat. & <br />
