2. PUBLIC HEARING
AMENDMENT TO PROVIDE FOR PROCESSING FEE FOR VARIANCES.
Mr. Stobs opened the Public Hearing, reading the notice of
Public Hearing as it appeared in the Neighbors, Sunday,
September 8, 1985. Mr. Stobs requested the minutes reflect
that, no one representing the public attended this meeting,
only the Members of the Board and the Secretary were present.
Mr. Wiesen reflected that his comment might especially refer
to the $50.00 fee, which he feels is most reasonable.
Mr. Duffy commented that, the amendment providing for a
processing fee was prompted by the manner in which some
applications have been presented in the past. A lack of proper
documentation, very, very basic drawings, no detail or floor
plan, enphasizing the lack of detail. Mr. Duffy further feels
the need to present to all applicants a check list of the re-
quirements and proper documentation for variance request to
be presented to the Board. This is not to say that, he would
favor a change to verbage, but rather a format in writing to
alert applicants, so that they are prepared when making a
request. A good recommendation, agreed upon by all Members.
Mr. Stobs noted that, much responsibility lies with the Board,
in that, if proper documentation is not presented or details
are not complete or in proper order, or not presented within
the specified format, there should be refusal to review the
request.

Mr. Stobs further stated, in reply to query from Members
that, the $50.00 fee would apply to cases of appeal but not
to requests which are reviewed because of being previously
tabled.
Following other discussion, Mr. Wiesen moved to approve the
Amendment as presented, seconded by Mr. Duffy, and carried
unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 8:10 p.m.
