Summary
At its Jan. 14 meeting, the Board of Zoning Appeals elected Gary Green president and John Houser vice president for 2026, adopted minutes from Nov. 12, 2025, and confirmed a temporary meeting location and door for posted notices. The meeting lasted about five minutes.
The Board of Zoning Appeals met Jan. 14, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. for a brief, procedural session in which members elected officers, adopted prior minutes and confirmed logistical details for future meetings.
Stacy Turner, introduced herself as the new executive director of the Area Planning Commission, saying, “Stacy Turner. I’m the new executive director of the Area Planning Commission.” The presiding member called the session to order at 6:00 p.m., saying, “I hereby call the board of zoning, appeals to order.”
Jonathan White moved that Gary Green serve as president for 2026. The motion was seconded and approved unanimously; the presiding member declared Gary Green president. Later, an unidentified member moved that John Houser continue as vice president for 2026; that motion also passed unanimously.
The board reviewed administrative logistics: Turner confirmed the group will meet at the new location going forward and that, until a permanent change is posted, the posted notice will use the door that faces Main Street. Turner also said she would correct a scheduling mix-up about the order of BZA and Area Planning Commission meetings for next month.
The board took one formal minutes action: a motion to adopt the Board of Zoning Appeals minutes from Nov. 12, 2025, as written was moved, seconded and approved unanimously; the presiding member indicated they would sign the documents. The meeting was adjourned at about 6:05 p.m., with recording continuing after adjournment.
The session contained no debate on policy items, ordinances, permits or appeals; it consisted entirely of officer elections, administrative housekeeping and the adoption of prior minutes.
