•
Agenda Item No. 1 -- Staff briefing. Mr. Koehler, Mr. Lewis and Mr. Pugh
discussed the functions and procedures of the Board.
Agenda Item No. 2 -- Discussion of Rules and Procedures.
The members consented to retain the policy of positive motions with respect
to granting of variances and appeals and agreed that the Chair would propose
the motion.
The members discussed the policy of direct notification of adjoining owners.
Mr. Pugh pointed out that the Board's consideration of most cases should
rest on the facts of a particular case as applied to the property in question
and that testimony of adjoiners should be addressed to fact rather than
individual preference. He suggested that it would be possible to limit
testimony to the appelant or applicant only. The members consented to continue
the policy of notification of owners within 200 feet.
The Board discussed the possibility of actions to bring about discontinuance
of non-conforming uses. Mr. Pugh suggested that this is usually done after the
Council adopts supplemental ordinances specifying the type uses to be dis-
continued and the districts in which it will be done. The matter was referred
to the Council for study.
The members agreed that they would be willing to hear use permit cases should
the ordinance be so amended,
Agenda Item No. 3 -- Selection of preferred meeting date.
The Board chose the third Tuesday of each month at 7:30 P.M. as a preferred
meeting date.
Agenda Item No. 4 -- Call of business meeting.
The next meeting to hear pending cases was called for Tuesday, June 22 at 7:30 P.M.
Agenda Item No. 5 -- Adjourn.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
