The Summit Zoning Board of Adjustment at its Jan. 8 special meeting approved annual professional appointments and elected board leadership for 2025.
Appointments: The board approved resolutions reappointing Colliers Engineering as the board engineer (representative Marie Raffae attended), Burgess Associates as board planner (represented by Ed Snikas) and the firm Davidson Eastman Paone as board attorney (with Zach Staczynski appearing in Andy Ball’s absence). Each appointment was presented, motions were made and the board voted to approve the resolutions by roll call.
Elections: The board also conducted its leadership elections. Scott Loykets was nominated and elected chair for 2025 by roll-call vote after a second and members thanked outgoing chair Joe Steiner for his 2024 service. Miriam (named in the transcript as the nominee) was nominated and elected vice chair. The board also reappointed Stephanie Solios as board secretary; Solios is a city employee and the board’s secretary and will continue to prepare minutes, manage agendas and assist applicants.
Votes: The transcript records roll-call votes for the professional appointments and the leadership elections; members recorded as voting in favor of the listed appointments and elections include Steiner, Yuko, Nelson, Zahn, Kieran, Chifo and others who participated in the roll calls at the time the motions were called. The board confirmed the appointments and leadership by majority vote.
Context and next steps: Board leadership and the professional team will serve through the year and be the principal points of contact for applicants and the public. The board chair will preside at hearings, and the appointed professionals will advise the board on engineering, planning and legal matters at subsequent hearings during 2025.
