and discussed. A MOTION was made by Mr. James/Mr. Augenstein to amend
the fourth and fifth paragraphs to read as follows:
1
"A discussion took place regarding changing the word "Quarterly"
Meetings to "Regular" Meetings in order to give the Board more
flexibility when reviewing and acting on a variance. It was the
sense of the Board that the Board should meet at the call of the
chairn►an, not less frequently than every three months in order to
maintain the continuity of the Board itself. The board also
decided that in order to tie up the entire variance package, a
meeting should be called after a Public Hearing to approve the
minutes.
It was the opinion of Mayor Stewart and the Commissioner present
that the appearance of the Building Official at the Board of
Adjustment meeting was no longer necessary."
The MOTION carried unanimously.
A second draft of the September 29, 1988 Minutes will be prepared for
possible adoption at the next Board of Adjustment Meeting.
It was the sense of the Board that copies of the "Status of Building
Developments in Town" report, prepared by the Building Official, be
made available to the Board Members when it is available.
