In no event will this process take longer than 90 days without the consent of the applicant.

(b) The period of time provided for review of applications may be extended by written notice to the applicant for a period of time agreed upon by the applicant and the Department or the relevant city or municipal highway department, or for 15 days without agreement of the applicant for good cause stated in the notice to the applicant.
