we're trying to do today so you understand it the matters on today's
agenda appear to be appear to be abandoned because the board has not
received communications from the appellant for at least a year the
The applicants were notified by using the communication
that we had for them in the past.
This appears to be considered abandoned by the board
that they should contact the ZBA board within 30 days.
there were further advice that the case for which no information was provided
would be recommended for dismissal today at the hearing.
The scope of today's hearing will be limited to the disposition of those abandoned cases.
The scope of today's hearing will be limited to the decision.
No testimony will be taken and the substance of the appeal will not be spoken of.
