Votes: Mr. Furbush, yes. Mr. Blaisdell, yes. Mr. Bonvie, yes. Mr. Reiffarth, yes. Ms. Horton, yes. Mr. Dorsey, yes. Mr. DeBarros, yes. Vote was unanimous. Mr. Morgan suggested that the Board schedule Petitions at 10- or 15 -minute intervals on the Agenda. Mr. Furbush said that he has been on the Board since 2005 and the ZBA has never scheduled Petitions in time slots. He said that he was a little leery about adopting the policy and mentioned the difficulty involved in estimating how much time to allot each Petition. The other Board Members agreed. Mr. Bonvie said that, on one hand it could save a Petitioner money that is being represented by a lawyer; on the other hand it could present problems when Petitioners fail to show. In the event of no-shows, Mr. Bonvie said that the Board would be unable to take a Petition out of order on the Agenda. Mr. Morgan said that timing Petitions would enable the Board to continue a Petitioner who was "going overtime". The Board agreed to think about the suggestion. Ms. Horton made a motion to adjourn the meeting. Mr. Dorsey seconded the motion. Votes: Mr. Furbush, yes. Mr. Blaisdell, yes. Mr. Bonvie, yes. Mr. Reiffarth, yes. Ms. Horton, yes. Mr. Dorsey, yes. Mr. DeBarros, yes. Vote was unanimous. Meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. Respectfully submitted, Cynthia Bartos 4,149d�_ Administrative Secretary Zoning Board of Appeals 7
