In every action adverse to any applicant or objector, the issuing authority shall state the reasons therefor.
(d) In the event no action is taken on an application for transfer of a municipally issued license within 60 days of the date of filing of the application, the applicant may file an appeal with the Director from such failure to act on the transfer application.
