DRAFT OC Board of Adjustment – 11/9/15 Page 78 of 156 Samantha Cabe: Alright, the January 23, 2017 meeting of the Orange County Board of 1 Adjustment will come to order. I apologize for being here a few minutes late. Do we have a new 2 agenda or do we pick up right where we left off? 3 4 Michael Harvey: Well, before we call or reconvene the public hearing we need to make the Board 5 aware of a couple of things. 6 7 Samantha Cabe: Ok. 8 9 Michael Harvey: The first thing is at your place this evening you have your Orange County Board 10 Member Disclosure forms. It’s that time of year again. If you could fill that out and get them back 11 to me as quickly as you can Tom Freeman would appreciate it. And I will appreciate you in helping 12 to get Tom Freeman off my case. Second of all, you have before you the Board of Adjustment 13 calendar for the year. This lays out when we’re going to be having meetings. Per your rules and 14 procedure in the Orange County Unified Development Ordinance you typically meet the second 15 Monday of the month, unless there’s a conflict. There are a couple of conflicts this year where the 16 meetings fall on a public hearing date with the County Commissioners per County Commissioner 17 Policy you are to move to the following Monday so there’s no conflicts and the Staff doesn’t have 18 to try to figure out how to be at two places at once. And the first thing I’d like this Board to do per 19 your rules and procedure is acknowledge and adopt the calendar. 20 21 Samantha Cabe: Do I have a motion to adopt the calendar that’s been presented to us as our 22 calendar for the upcoming year 2017? 23 24 Motion made by Matt Hughes to adopt the calendar for the upcoming year 2017. Seconded by 25 Barry Katz. 26 27 VOTE: Unanimous 28 29 Samantha Cabe: We adopt the calendar presented by Staff as the Board Of Adjustment calendar 30 for the year 2017. 31 32 Michael Harvey: We currently have no February meetings scheduled, so if you’d like to have a 33 motion to cancel the February regular meeting. 34 35 Motion made by Barry Katz to cancel the February 28th meeting. Seconded by Karen Barrows. 36 37 VOTE: Unanimous 38 39 Samantha Cabe: Alright, no February meeting. 40 41 Michael Harvey: You have a March meeting. That March meeting is the review of appeal 42 submitted by neighbors of the Barn of Chapel Hill challenging the determination made by Staff 43 concerning the status of the property as a farm. This is slighted to be presented at your March 13th 44 meeting. As you know your regular Chair Samantha Cabe is recused from acting on this particular 45 request Karen Barrows will be serving as Chairperson. The question has come up whether or not 46 this venue, this location, was appropriate to handle the crowd at the meetings. Per the rules and 47 procedure the Chair person of the Board of Adjustment has the ability to move the meeting if they 48 determine it necessary to accommodate crowds, to accommodate any change or potential issue 49 that may come up. So at this time if the Board would like to have a quick discussion on the need 50 80
