Summary

Planning staff told the Board of Adjustment there are 13 cases in the queue and proposed a June double‑header (morning and afternoon) to clear the backlog; staff will poll members for availability.

Staff told the Buncombe County Board of Adjustment that the office is managing a backlog of cases and may ask the board to consider a double‑header meeting in June (two sessions in one day) to work through more matters.

"We currently have 13 cases in the queue that need to be reviewed," staff said, noting continuances at this meeting had increased the load and that staff will email board members to check availability for a combined morning and afternoon session if the board is amenable.

Board members discussed logistics, including whether members could commit to a full day, whether the sessions should be split by topic or attendance, and how to minimize special meetings. Staff said the likely structure would be a morning session (9 a.m.–noon) followed by an afternoon session (1 p.m.–4 p.m.) with the option for members to volunteer for one session or stay all day depending on availability.
