Chairman Blosser informed the Board that this would be the last meeting
for Col. Scofield and himself as they had achieved the time limitation
for serving on this Board. However, he advised that the two present
alternates, Mr. Winston and Mr. Doig would bring the Board membership
•
to five if they are appointed to permanent positions. He recommended
that Mr. Gilbert G. Lorenz, who was invited to attend tonight by Mrs.
Roberts, be appointed as Alternate #1. Traditionally, the Board elects
members at their January meeting, he said.
Col. Scofield expressed his personal thanks to Chairman Blosser for
his leadership and competence. Mr. Blosser thanked him for his invaluable
help during their term of office.
Mrs. Roberts explained that there was a difference of opinion about the
possible administrative review mentioned at the last meeting, the
Sylvester home. The Town Commission handled it.
After a great deal of discussion concerning the duties of the Board of
Adjustment, a MOTION was made by Mr. Winston, seconded by Col. Scofield
that the Board's powers be augmented to include the authority to review
special exceptions and non -conforming structures in addition to
variances and administrative reviews, presently handled, thus restoring
to the Board said powers which were formerly delegated to and exercised
by the Board prior to June 1978. (Ordinance 336).
