Exception for municipal use.

Whenever the Borough Council determines that use of property by the Borough or Board of Public Works is in the public interest, safety, health or welfare, such municipal use shall be permitted in any of the zone districts, and in such event compliance with the terms and provisions of this section may be waived by the Borough Council as to such property.

Before making any such determinations, the Borough Council shall give written notice to all adjacent property owners within 200 feet of the lot or land proposed to be used for such municipal use of a public hearing to be held at a regular or special meeting of the Borough Council at which consideration shall be given to such proposed use. Such notice shall set forth the proposed municipal use or uses to be considered and shall be given at least 10 days prior to such hearing by regular mail, postage thereon prepaid, addressed to such owners at the addresses appearing on the tax records of the Borough, and at such hearing such determination shall not be made until such owners and other interested parties are given an opportunity to be heard.
