The Board <br />asks its citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the <br />Board and with fellow citizens. At any time should any member of the Board or any citizen <br />fail to observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to leave the <br />meeting until that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, <br />the Chair will recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public <br />charge is observed. All electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, and computers <br />should please be turned off or set to silent/vibrate. <br />The Board of Adjustment is a quasi-judicial administrative body established in accordance <br />with the provisions of local regulations and State law to perform specified functions <br />essential to the County’s planning program. Action(s) taken by the board are based solely <br />on competent, substantial, and material evidence presented during a previously <br />scheduled and advertised public hearing on a specific item. As detailed within Section <br />2.12.2 of the UDO the Board chair reserves the right to exclude evidence and testimony <br />that is deemed: ‘incompetent, irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly repetitious’ and therefore <br />fails to reasonably address the issues before the Board of Adjustment. While it should <br />be noted there is no time limit on the presentation of evidence, the Chair asks that the <br />presentation of evidence be consistent with established policies, rules of procedure, and <br />acceptable levels of decorum to ensure a fair and equitable hearing for all parties.
