Members who served in 2007 are Dwight Hall, Andy Miscio, Dana McBride, Robert
Donahue, Alison Dickson, Ron Daggett, and Jim Pisula. Dwight Hall and Alison
Dickson served as chairperson and vice -chairperson, respectively. Robert Donahue
resigned in November due to a job relocation, and Andy Miscio's second term ended on
December 31$`. David Shands and Michael Bello were appointed in December to fill

2007 YEAR IN REVIEW:
During 2007, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) acted on twenty-seven
variance requests to the City Land Use Code. Twenty-five of the variance
requests were approved and two were denied. Six of the approved variances
were granted with conditions. No decisions of the Board were appealed to City
Council.
In addition to the twenty-seven variance applications, the Board also spent time
reviewing proposed Land Use Code amendments and providing staff with
comments and input regarding the comprehensive spring code change
ordinance.
One of the variance requests that was approved by the Board in 2007 was
subsequently the subject of a District Court action which resulted in a Court order
requiring the Board to rehear the subject variance request. The rehearing never
occurred since the applicant withdrew his variance request.
