The Board asks its citizens to conduct 32 themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board and with fellow citizens. At any time should any 33 member of the Board or any citizen fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to leave the 34 meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will recess the meeting 35 until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is observed. All electronic devices such as cell phones, 36 pagers, and computers should please be turned off or set to silent/vibrate.37 38 The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance with the provisions of local 39 regulations and State law to perform specified functions essential to the County’s planning program. Action(s) taken by the 40 board are based solely on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented during a previously scheduled and 41 advertised public hearing on a specific item. As detailed within Section 2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair reserves the 42 right to exclude evidence and testimony that is deemed: ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious’ and 43 therefore fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of Adjustment. While it should be noted there is no time 44 limit on the presentation of evidence, the Chair asks that the presentation of evidence be consistent with established 45 policies, rules of procedure, and acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and equitable hearing for all parties.46 47 48 AGENDA ITEM 5: A-5-18 – Public Hearing to review a Class B SUP request submitted by Camp 49 Chestnut Ridge and NC United Methodist Camp & Retreat Ministries, Inc. requesting to expand 50 the existing Camp/Retreat Center facilities (PINs: 9843-22-1289; 9843-13-7930; 9843-05-5036; 51 3
