Was it due to topography or to keep it out of 5 the farmland? Is there a particular reason you didn’t move it over 100 feet?” 6 7 Motion made by Karen Barrows to approve the minutes with the noted correction. Seconded by David Blankfard. 8 Vote: Unanimous 9 10 11 AGENDA ITEM 4: PUBLIC CHARGE 12 13 The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to conduct 14 themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any time should any 15 member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to leave 16 the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the 17 meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. All electronic devices such as 18 cell phones, pagers, and computers should please be turned off or set to silent/vibrate. 19 20 The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions of local 21 regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County’s planning program. Action(s) taken by 22 the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented during a previously scheduled 23 and advertised public hearing on a specific item. As detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair 24 reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed: ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly 25 repetitious’ and therefore fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of Adjustment. While it should be 26 noted there is no time limit on the presentation of evidence, the Chair asks that the presentation of evidence be 27 consistent with established policies, rules of procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and 28 equitable hearing for all parties. 29 30 31
