Board member discloses prior ownership of property under review; no disqualification recorded
Summary
A board member disclosed she was the former homeowner of the property at 616 Kirby Street and said she sold it to the applicant; the member stated she did not consider it a conflict and remained on the matter, which the board accepted on the record.
During consideration of HPB case 26-24 (616 Kirby Street), a board member disclosed on the record that she was a former homeowner of the property and had sold it to the applicant.
The member said, on the record, that her name appeared on the deed previously and that she wanted to be transparent. After discussion the chair and other members continued the matter without recording a recusal. The chair confirmed the disclosure and allowed staff to proceed with the presentation.
The disclosure was entered into the record; the transcript does not show a formal legal opinion from counsel but indicates the matter was handled through on-the-record transparency. The board subsequently voted to approve the garage application.
