(4) As soon as practicable after the due date the council shall consider all representations received by that date and may at their discretion consider representations received after that date.

(5) The council shall give to any person who makes representations by the due date an opportunity to make oral representations to the council and may at their discretion give to other persons making representations a similar opportunity.

(6) The council may prescribe the proposed conditions or changes to conditions with any modifications they consider appropriate as a result of any representations received under this section.
