Approved 6/8/2015 OC Board of Adjustment – 12/08/2014 Page 9 of 49 Larry Wright: I want to ask the board, how would you like to proceed? Would you like to proceed the way it’s 1 presented in our packet? I think that is the best way to really make sense of it. I don’t know. What do you think Jeff? 2 3 Jeff Schmitt: I wasn’t quite sure why we needed to do one through seven but given the last sets of comments, I sort 4 of think we need to because there might be some place where the board thinks that, I’m just picking one here, that 5 item five is really not relevant so when we hear the case of the applicant, I don’t want to hear anyt hing about item five 6 because we don’t have jurisdiction. 7 8 Larry Wright: Okay. So how do we hear from the intent of the zoning officer if this was an order or a requirement or 9 a determination from the zoning officer because that is jurisdiction if the zon ing officer says, this is it, this is a violation 10 and you are going to be fined and I’m not studying it any further, this is it, this is the order. That is jurisdiction isn’t it? 11 12 Karen Barrows: I think, Larry, until we hear what folks have to say includ ing Mr. Harvey, we might be able to go 13 through. 14 15 Larry Wright: Go through the one through the seven or go through the way it is in the packet or what? 16 17 Karen Barrows: Probably the way it is in the packet. 18 19 Larry Wright: Jeff? 20 21 Jeff Schmitt: Unless going through the packet presents some issue relative to the appeal of this as opposed to doing 22 something else first, let’s just get started and go through the packet. 23 24 Larry Wright: I will start with Mr. Harvey. 25 26 Michael Harvey: Mr. Chairman, if I could make a recommendation. All individuals intending to offer testimony this 27 evening need be sworn before I say one word other than what I have just said. 28 29 Larry Wright: Yes. Thank you. Anybody giving testimony tonight, if you are an attorney and giving testi mony, you 30 have to be duly sworn. If you are an attorney not giving testimony, you do not have to be duly sworn. 31 32 James Bryan: Or you may affirm. 33 34 Individuals sworn in by Ms. Graham: 35 T.C. Morphis, Jr. 36 Adrian Carter 37 Michael Joerling 38 Robert Nicholas 39 John Gallagher 40 Richard Kirkland 41 42 T.C. Morphis: Mr. Chairman, I gather I am not going to be able to make opening comments. 43 44 Larry Wright: You will be given your time. 45 46 Michael Harvey: Mr. Chairman, beginning on page 19, you have staff’s abstract detailing the nature of this item.
