There were two proposals presented. O e, the rainleader issue would be handled like any violation t at comes before the board. Second, the appellant would have to p al direct)y to the Council . Mr. Glassman was asked to c ' nt. Both proposals started out by saying, if an extension of ti e is not granted by the Director, then the owner may appeal th t ecision to the Board of Appeals & Review. The Board would ha e he right to give an extension of time. Mr. Glassman requested th t he language on the ordinance be changed to give the Boar t e right to grant a variance or anything that the Board felt wa correct. 1 ��ntil the ordinance is clearly defined, the Board will not be hearinq any appeals regarding rainleaders. It was decided that after clarification of the ordinance, that the cases that were before the board and were denied a variance. wouid be reviewed aaain. ---------------------------------- Chairman Glassrnan reminded the Board Members that there has not been a replacement appointed for Mr. Gienn Gausman, who represented the Engineering Profession.
