29 <br /> 11. Appointments <br /> a. Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment <br /> The Board approved appointments to the Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment. <br /> BACKGROUND: The Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment is authorized to hear variance cases <br /> regarding the provisions of the Chapel Hill Land Use Management Ordinance and appeal cases <br /> regarding decisions made by Town of Chapel Hill staff. <br /> The Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) appoints one (1) member representing the <br /> Chapel Hill Extraterritorial Jurisdiction (ETJ), one (1) member representing the Chapel Hill ETJ <br /> or the Joint Planning Area (JPA), and one (1) alternate member representing the Chapel Hill <br /> ETJ or JPA. <br /> Per North Carolina General Statute § 160D-307 and the Joint Planning Agreement, the Chapel <br /> Hill Town Council is able to make appointments to these seats if the BOCC does not do so <br /> within ninety (90) days of receiving a request from the Town of Chapel Hill. In January, Clerk's <br /> Office staff received a request from the Town of Chapel Hill to make appointments by April 6, <br /> 2025. <br /> Since the Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment is not an Orange County-created board or <br /> commission, it does not submit an Annual Work Plan. <br /> The Town of Chapel Hill does not make recommendations for appointments to this board. <br /> The following individual and positions are presented for Board consideration: <br /> NAME POSITION TYPE OF EXPIRATION <br /> DESCRIPTION APPOINTMENT DATE <br /> TERM <br /> Benjamin (BJ) Chapel Hill ETJ First Full Term 06/30/2028 <br /> Warshaw (reappointment) <br /> BOCC Chapel Hill ETJ or First Full Term 06/30/2027 <br /> Appointee JPA <br /> If the positions listed above are filled, the following vacancy remains: <br /> POSITION EXPIRATION VACANCY INFORMATION <br /> DESIGNATION DATE <br /> Chapel Hill ETJ or 06/30/2026 Vacant since 06/30/2023 <br /> JPA-Alternate <br /> Tara May, Deputy Clerk to the Board, introduced the item. <br /> A motion was made by Commissioner Fowler, seconded by Vice-Chair Hamilton, to <br /> appoint BJ Warshaw for a first full term to the Chapel Hill Board of Adjustment. <br /> VOTE: UNANIMOUS <br />
