c. At the request of the applicant;

(2) An extension by the department made pursuant to 2202.8(1) will in no case be more than 60 calendar days beyond the time a decision is required under Iowa Code section 10A.719 unless the applicant and department agree.

(3) Where none of the provisions of 2202.8(1) are applicable and where an application will be automatically denied because of the expiration of time required by Iowa Code section 10A.719 for the issuance of a written decision by the council, the department will notify the applicant of the likelihood of an automatic denial and will ask the applicant to request in writing an extension of the review time. Where an extension is so requested, the application will be heard at the next regularly scheduled meeting of the council or at any time agreeable to the applicant and the department.
