DRAFT 4/16/18 MINUTES 2 MOTION made by Holly Safi to approve the Jan. 8, 2018, minutes with the correction. Randy Herman 49 seconded. 50 VOTE: Unanimous 51 52 53 AGENDA ITEM 4: PUBLIC CHARGE 54 55 Matt Hughes read the public charge. 56 57 The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board asks its citizens to 58 conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any 59 time should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the 60 offending person to leave the meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be 61 restored, the Chair will recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is 62 observed. All electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, and computers should please be turned off or 63 set to silent/vibrate. 64 65 The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions 66 of local regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County’s planning program. 67 Action(s) taken by the board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented 68 during a previously scheduled and advertised public hearing on a specific item. As detailed within Section 69 2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed: 70 ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious’ and therefore fails to reasonably address the issues 71 before the Board of Adjustment. While it should be noted there is no time limit on the presentation of 72 evidence, the Chair asks that the presentation of evidence be consistent with established policies, rules of 73 procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and equitable hearing for all parties. 74 75 76 AGENDA ITEM 5: CASE A-2-18 – Public Hearing to review a Class B Special 77 Use Permit application concerning the expansion of an existing child care 78 facility at 200 David Road, Hillsborough, NC 27278 (PIN 9862-10-1791 and 79 9748-99-7320).

Patrick Mallett, current planning. We’ll need to grab that book and get 87 everyone sworn in. 88 89 Samantha Cabe: At this time, we are going to swear in every person who wants to testify in this hearing. 90 Because this board bases its decisions on relevant and competent evidence, we need to have all testimony 91 under oath.
