Approval of Minutes of the March 16, 2010 Regular Meeting

A Motion was made by S. Stutts, seconded by K. Kotzan, to approve the minutes of the March 16, 2010 Regular Meeting with the following corrections: on page 6 add “PUBLIC HEARING” above Case 09-32 – Robert Reardon; change on page 5 under Brocki, seven sentences down change “incompliance” to “compliance” and on page 8 clarify “Clerk to find out about if only 4 members . . .”, the reason for this was that the Board thought when the registry appeals came before the  Board the Board could split 4 and 4.  Although it takes four (4) affirmative votes to pass a variance and/or an appeal, applicants will want to have a five (5) member Board seated for the meetings, making this item a moot point; no further discussion and a vote was taken and the motion to approve passed unanimously 5-0-0.
