finds that the person making the request meets the requirement of subsection
(5)(c) of this section, the board shall set the matter for hearing within 21
calendar days after receipt of the request for hearing. The operator, timber
owner and landowner shall be allowable parties to the hearing. The person
requesting the hearing may raise, in the hearing, only those issues that the
person raised in written comments filed under ORS 527.670 (9) relating to
