5437.1 The parties to the protest hearing shall be the applicant and the protestants as identified at the roll call hearing.

5437.2 If there is more than one protestant, the Board, in its discretion, may request that multiple protestants confer among themselves and designate one person to conduct the protestants' case. In the case where the protestants fail to agree, the Board may select the protestant presentation order and limit the presentation time of one or more parties to ensure that the applicant and protestants have similar presentation times.
