Zoning Board elects Ben Palek chair and Andy Dokroff vice chair
Summary
At a joint meeting with the Planning Commission, the Zoning Board of Appeals elected Ben Palek chair and Andy Dokroff vice chair by voice votes and approved several routine agenda items before discussing corner-lot rules.
Ben Palek was elected chair of the Zoning Board of Appeals and Andy Dokroff was elected vice chair during the board’s joint meeting with the Planning Commission. The nominations drew voice approvals from members after Unidentified Speaker 2 opened the floor for nominations. The board first approved the evening’s agenda and accepted the minutes of the Nov. 12 meeting by voice vote.
The leadership votes came early in the session after procedural items. Unidentified Speaker 2 nominated Ben Palek for chair; the board voted to approve Palek’s service as chair. The vice-chair nomination proceeded similarly, with a majority voice vote approving Andy Dokroff for the role. No recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript; votes were taken by voice with no opposed votes announced.
The meeting then moved to substantive business, with the board and planning commissioners introducing a review of corner-lot regulations and related topics. The session ended after the board placed a corner-lot review on its priority list and then adjourned.
The meeting’s next procedural step for governance matters is implementation of the elected officers’ duties in upcoming meetings; no additional officer responsibilities or assignments were recorded in the transcript.
