Variance Update

The meeting went well last night - much more quickly that I anticipated. After listening patiently to my presentation and the comments of the public, the Board of Adjustment deliberated long enough to realize that they were all in favor of the proposal and voted accordingly.

So that's it. The applicants will be able to use their slab and build their building. The building will still be a noncomplying structure, but now they will be legally allowed to finish it up.

All in all, a good exercise. This is the way the process is supposed to work. It may be frustrating for the applicants, but it is good for the community and the rule of law is ultimately stronger because of it. I hope that all such decisions are as easily reached as the one was last night.

Thank you to everyone involved. It's great to be able to meet and work with fine people like you.
