Brentwood Town ZBA notes four-member attendance, approves March 23 minutes and sets May 18 meeting
Summary
At a brief Brentwood Town Zoning Board of Adjustment meeting, Chair Frank Albert warned the applicant that only four members were present (risking a tie), the board confirmed a May 18 meeting date, and approved minutes from March 23 for two agenda items.
Chair Frank Albert called the Brentwood Town Zoning Board of Adjustment to order and conducted roll call, identifying himself as chairman, Wayne Moral as a member and Melinda Nordell as an alternate. He told the applicant that only four members were present and "it could be a tie," noting the board must meet a majority threshold to act.
A staff member clarified the voting threshold, saying, "We need a majority of three yeses no matter what." Board members discussed waiting for absent colleagues but opted instead to confirm a rescheduled meeting for Monday, May 18 at 7:00 p.m.; staff said notice would be sent.
On business, the board moved to approve minutes from the March 23 meeting covering the Hand and Family Trust application and the Chapel Tractor item. Chair Frank Albert moved both motions, each was seconded and members answered in the affirmative when asked to vote; the chair said he would sign the notice of decision for the family-trust matter and coordinate the signature with staff (he referenced signing it "with Julian").
The transcript contains inconsistent spellings for the family-trust item (appearing as both "Hand and Family Trust" and "Henney family trust"); the item is described in the minutes discussion but the board did not delve into substantive details of the underlying applications during this session.
With no further business, the chair moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the board voted to adjourn. The next meeting is set for Monday, May 18 at 7:00 p.m., per the board's announcement.
