Zoning Board of Appeals 2-2 tie sent to Lee County board; members asked to review hearing video
Summary
A petition before the Zoning Board of Appeals resulted in a 2-2 tie and, per the meeting discussion, will be forwarded to the county board for a decision. County staff urged board members to watch the zoning hearing video ahead of the vote next Thursday.
A county services staff member told the Facilities and Maintenance Committee that a petition considered by the Zoning Board of Appeals on Jan. 6 resulted in a 2-2 tie and is being forwarded to the Lee County board for final action.
The matter is important because a tie at the Zoning Board of Appeals requires the county board to accept or reject the recommendation; committee members were asked to review the full hearing to prepare for a vote next Thursday.
The county services staff member said, “There was 4 board members. They voted 2 to 2, so it was a tie. So it it goes down to the board to accept it or not,” and recommended board members watch the YouTube video of the Jan. 6 hearing before the Thursday vote. The staff member did not state the petition’s subject or the parties involved during the committee report. Several committee members confirmed they had attended that Zoning Board hearing.
No formal action or vote on the petition occurred during this Facilities and Maintenance Committee meeting; the staff member asked board members to review the hearing recording and be prepared to vote when the item reaches the county board.
