Dear Chairman Csiki and Members:
I would like to make my feelings known regarding statements that I made at the ZBA meeting of October 10th concerning application #2002-10.
Simply, I would like to say for the record, that many of my statements were over dramatized, overstated, and over the top. While attempting to relay my thoughts at that time, I strayed from the level of decorum that is in practice by the Chair and the other members of the Zoning Board of Appeals; I should have known better and for this I apologize.
Further, my comments should in no way be construed to indicate that I think, or thought, that the ZBA goes about their business in anything but a straightforward, proper, thoughtful, and deliberative manner. I realize that members often agonize over decisions that they make after listening and weighing all sides.
In the future, I will attempt to emulate my fellow members.
Respectfully,
Thomas Smith
