REINSTATEMENT OF
BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT
The Council is considering reinstating the Board of Adjustment. Boards of
Adjustment were created to provide a
means to deal with unanticipated hardships as they arise with issues of zoning.
In general, a Board of Adjustment is a
quasi-judicial, not a policy-making body.
The Board interprets the meaning and
spirit of the zoning ordinance as enacted
by the governing body by hearing and
deciding on variance applications when
they arise. It does not have the authority
to make law or change zoning law. The
Board meets when applications for variances or appeals occur and is not expected to meet regularly as some other
Town Boards, Commissions and Committees do. The Special Training meetings
may be held once the board is formed to
provide adequate knowledge for the board
to perform this function. Town Code Section 153.021 outlines the structure, the
powers and duties of the Board of Adjustment.
Town Council has been performing
the duties of the Board of Adjustment
since 2012. Ideally, the Council would
like to appoint a 5-person volunteer board
to serve as the Board of Adjustment. If
you are interested in serving in this capacity, please contact town hall at 928) 6327362 and complete an application for this
board. Town Clerk Judy Morgan, Town
Planner Steven Brown, or Town Manager
Yvonne Kimball can help you if you have
any questions about serving on the Board
of Adjustment.

analyzing water structure and how our health is affected by
the water we drink. We will learn how

be the cause of problems. The IONS

all points of view. Visitors are welcome! Refreshments will be served.

past and of the present. The library
