The Board of <br />Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body governed by North Carolina General Statutes and the Zoning <br />Ordinance of Orange County. For everyone who plans to speak tonight during the proceedings, including applicants <br />and witnesses, you will be called forward in a few minutes for swearing in. Swearing in is required for all testimony <br />given before the Board. The voting members for tonight will be Dr. Carter, Dr. Wright, Dr. Brezina, Mr. Blankfard, and <br />myself. For staff and Board members, are there any additions to the agenda? <br /> <br />2. CONSIDERATION OF ADDITIONS TO AGENDA <br /> <br />There were no additions to the agenda. <br /> <br />3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES <br /> a. August 9, 2010 <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Next on the agenda is approval of minutes from August 9, 2010. The minutes are on pages 1 through 52 <br />in your packets, which we review incrementally. Would you please take a look on pages 1 through 5 and please <br />indicate any corrections or modifications. <br /> <br />James Carter: Mr. Chairman you have said it verbally, but a line on page one, line 29, they have got it as “Mr. Carter”, it <br />should be addressed as Dr. Carter please. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: On line 36, midway in the sentence, 12 months and until, strike ‘for’. Pages 6 through 10. <br /> <br />Larry Wright: I have some corrections, page 7, line 14, the property fronts, strike ‘is’. Page 8, line 37, it should read the <br />span of years of property’s existence. Then Mr. Knight said, “that’s correct” and that’s omitted. <br /> <br />Tom Brown: Back on page 7, line 46; about midway; “with a swell” it should be ‘swale’. On page 9, line 25, the <br />sentence “In the past, I have watched him clear a six foot fence” should be moved down to line 26 after “trained”. Page <br />10, line 31, “Lime disease” l y m e. Does anyone have any changes 11 through 15? <br /> <br />Mark Micol: Page 13, line 9, “document” should read ‘documentation’.
