Affidavit, contains no request for a hearing. The absence of any <br /> hearing request is significant in light of the Board' s regulation-- -' <br /> providing that: <br /> "A written filing which objects to the granting of a <br /> permit shall not be considered by the Board as a pe- <br /> tition for hearing unless such intent is expressly <br /> stated.
