Frank Carey read the legal notice for the public hearing advertised in the Republican Newspaper the weeks of July 10, & 17, 2014, Case # D-2014.
Following comments from the Chairman regarding the purpose of the Zoning Board of Appeals, the time constraints the Board must meet to hold a hearing and issue a decision, and the manner in which the hearing would be conducted, David Beaudoin introduced the four (4) members present. He stated that normally five (5) members of the Board vote on a petition but due to vacation and work commitments two (2) members were absent. Of the four (4) members present all four must vote to overturn the decision of the Building Commissioner in order for the appeal to be successful, if one member votes to uphold the decision of the Building Commissioner the appeal would not be granted. If five (5) members were present and four (4) members voted to overturn the decision of the Building Commissioner, the appeal would be
granted. He questioned if the petitioners wanted to go forward with four (4) members or continue the hearing to August 28, 2014 in order to have five (5) members present?
Speaking on behalf of the petitioners Janet Platt stated they would continue the hearing.
