THE OCT. 2, 2019 BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT MEETING WAS CANCELLED

Dear residents,

Sorry for the last minute notice but I was just informed the Board of adjustment has been cancelled for tonight, please see below. The board of adjustment chair was handed more information today & not enough people were notified.

I have asked them to cancel tonight’s meeting, we will reschedule & let you know. 

Thank you for your patience,

Subject: RE: The Proposed Record for BOA Hearing
Importance: High

Gentlemen,

   In the last 72 hours, the Board of Appeals has been inundated with paperwork.  My stack is about 3 inches thick.   However, none of it indicated any problems with the Agenda, sent out on September 25th, with a request to comment.  Third parties have today raised the issue of the failure of the notice to specifically describe the parties to the appeal as making the notice defective.  It is probably a fair point, which I missed when reviewing the Agenda.  Even if it is likely not to have mislead anyone actually interested, it puts us at risk of an invalid decision and court challenge, all of which would be an enormous waste of our time.

   I would suggest we postpone tonight’s Appeal Hearing to a later date, such as the 23rd or 30th.  This will allow actual review of the materials provided, and thought out questions from the Board.  However, I would invite each side to present a short written summary of their position, their opponent’s mistaken position, and the important points in the materials provided.  I suggest 10 pages, max, double spaced, 12 point, 10 footnotes, separate caption cover (not counted as a page.)   An outline form would be great.  That way we can be prepared to meet and then decide immediately.  Given the volume of paperwork recently dropped, I would have set over the deliberations from tonight, anyway, to allow review it all.  As such, the delay is not likely to delay the ultimate decision.

   I have also heard a suggestion public comment should not be allowed.  It was on the original agenda.  Your thoughts?

   Mark, unless there is a better suggestion, please confirm cancellation to all parties.

Tony Varda

Town Chairperson
