CALL TO ORDER 2. CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONS TO AGENDA 3.3-51 APPROVAL OF MINUTES a.December 8, 2014 4. PUBLIC CHARGE The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any time should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. All electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, and computers should please be turned off or set to silent/vibrate. The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions of local regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County’s planning program. Action(s) taken by the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented during a previously scheduled and advertised public hearing on a specific item. As detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed: ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious’ and therefore fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of Adjustment. While it should be noted there is no time limit on the presentation of evidence, the Chair asks that the presentation of evidence be consistent with established policies, rules of procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and equitable hearing for all parties. 1
