Town of Laytonsville – Building and Zoning

BOARD OF APPEALS

Draft Minutes for May 7, 2007

The monthly meeting of the Laytonsville Board of Appeals was called to order by Chair Jake Cecere at 7:30 in the Laytonsville Town Hall. Members Jim Ruspi, Peter Stadler, Joseph Sladki and Francis Hewitt were present. Also present were Recording Secretary Jill Ruspi and Sheree Wenger.

The Chair asked for a motion to accept the minutes from the March 5, 2007 meeting. Member Stadler made the motion. The motion was seconded by Member Hewitt, and the minutes were unanimously approved as presented.

New Business

Member Peter Stadler asked Sheree Wenger, Chair of the Laytonsville Historical Commission (LHC), if there is an appeal process for decisions made by the Commission. Ms. Wenger answered that there is an appeal process. Ms. Wenger said that an appeal to an LHC decision is decided by the Circuit Court of Maryland.

Chair Cecere said that the Recording Secretary notified him that she will not serve in that position after the June 4, 2007 meeting. Chair Cecere said that the Mayor will ask the Town Clerk to announce the vacancy. One suggestion was that a student could serve as Recording Secretary and could then qualify for service hours.

After determining that there was no old business, the Chair called for a motion to adjourn the meeting. Member Sladki made the motion and Member Stadler seconded. The meeting was adjourned by unanimous vote at 7:45 p.m.

The next Board of Appeals meeting will be at 7:30 in the Town Hall on Monday, June 4, 2007.

Respectively submitted,

Jill S. Ruspi, Secretary
