Zoning Board of Appeals accepts resignation, elevates alternate and approves 2026 meeting dates
Summary
At its Dec. 8, 2025 meeting the Zoning Board of Appeals noted the resignation of Steve Allen, elevated alternate Lorraine Branch to full membership, approved minutes with a spelling correction and set its 2026 meeting calendar; staff reported no new cases for January.
The Zoning Board of Appeals convened at 7:00 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 8, 2025, and an unidentified meeting official (Speaker 2) announced that Steve Allen had resigned from the board and that alternate Lorraine Branch would take a member seat. The official also said Dennis Hennen moved to the planning commission and Greg Patterson is the board's new liaison.
Board members voted to approve the meeting agenda by voice vote with no opposition recorded. The board then approved minutes of its Oct. 13, 2025 meeting after correcting a misspelling of Member Branch’s name; the correction was noted during discussion and made part of the official record.
The board approved its 2026 meeting calendar by voice vote with no opposition recorded. During the staff report, an official noted a vacancy for an alternate and asked that the opening be publicized; community development monthly reports for September and October 2025 were included in the meeting packet. The official also stated there were no new cases filed for the board’s January meeting.
There was no old or new business raised beyond routine procedural items and no public correspondence was received for this session. A motion to adjourn was made and carried by voice vote; the meeting ended with brief closing remarks and holiday greetings.
Quotes from the transcript: “Steve Allen has resigned from the zoning board of appeals,” and “our alternate Lorraine Branch is now a member,” both attributable to an unidentified meeting official (Speaker 2) who made the announcements during the opening portion of the meeting.
The board did not record roll-call vote tallies by name in the transcript; approvals are recorded in the minutes as having passed by voice vote with no opposition noted. The meeting packet included the items referenced above; the meeting location and timezone were not specified in the transcript.
