Board of Zoning Appeals - Regular Meeting

for the Fischer Board of Zoning Appeals for February 25th, 2026. I'd ask everyone to please rise if they're able to join me in the pledge of allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Secretary, would you call the role? Here, here. Mr. Sylvie, Mr. Stevens

here. So, folks, we have a quorum uh except for I've been informed by Mr. Ginslade that he needs to recuse himself from the petition. I'd like him to explain his reasoning for doing so, which would result in your petition being continued until next month. Mr. Greenlight, due to my previous uh being on the other side and having the variance of uh 2019 that was put forward and approved 51%. I don't want to put the board or the city in any kind of gray area on any issues that may arise. whatever the vote would be.

So, Mr. Grenade has recused himself. With only two board members, we don't have a quorum to conduct business and therefore we can't hear your petition. I am deeply sorry that you came here this evening. I apologize for that. Uh we expected to have a quorum to be able to hear your your petition, but we don't. So, uh my understanding is it will be continued until next month. Okay. So, you you folks are free to stay in the event Mr. Sylvia gets here, we'll we'll have a quorum. We've got some other business to attend to, but it's up to you. If you wish to to leave now, you're welcome to do so. Okay.

I don't believe we've heard anything from Mr. Have we? Okay. We do. Yeah. Mr. Lannon. Uh, we do it we we do usually have a quorum. I think we've not had a quorum. Yeah.

We're back on the record for the Fischer Board of Zoning Appeals meeting for February 25th, 2026. In light of the fact that we don't have a quorum and with Mr. Ginslade recusing himself. What we'd like to do is um continue your petition for one week for a special meeting on Wednesday, March 4th at 5:30 p.m. uh for the purpose of hearing VA 25-30. That'll give us time to line up uh a quorum with Mr. Sylvie and Mr. Lannon either attending in person or remotely so that we can hear this petition and vote on it appropriately. Uh could I have the petitioner just step up to the podium and acknowledge that they're in agreement with that?

That's acceptable for us. Thank you. And we'll confirm attendance with our other uh board members. Uh K, our secretary will be in touch with you to confirm it. But that's our tenative plan. Okay. Okay. Thank you very much. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Um, I'm going to go ahead and adjourn the meeting for Wednesday, February 25th, 2026.
