INFORMATION: The Board of Adjustment currently has one expired term and two vacant seats with one being an ETJ Orange County appointee seat. Applications were received from John Baker, Michael Crowell, and Wil Heflin.
Brian Hagaman is the current chair of the Board of Adjustment and did not provide chair forms for review. The Town Clerk has contacted each applicant and confirmed that they are still interested in being appointed to the Board of Adjustment and have a clear understanding of the requirements.
The seat reserved for residents of the Joint Planning Transition Area and the Extraterritorial Planning Area may be open to residents that live outside of those parameters. Currently, Wil Heflin does not reside in the Joint Planning Transition Area but an exception was made for his appointment since the seat was vacant since 2013 (2017 was when Will Heflin was appointed for his first term.) The ETJ seat has been vacant since 2013.
The resolution attached allows the Board of Aldermen to make a recommendation to the Orange County Board of Commissioners to appoint an applicant that does not reside within the ETJ area, as well. The additional ETJ seat has remained vacant and John Baker resides in the Northern Transition Area.
The attached resolution appoints John Baker, Michael Crowell, and Wil Heflin to the Board of Adjustment.
