AGENDA ITEM 5: PUBLIC CHARGE
The Board of Adjustment pledges to the citizens of Orange County its respect. The Board
asks its citizens to conduct themselves in a respectful, courteous manner, both with the Board
and with fellow citizens. At any time should any member of the Board or any citizen fail to
observe this public charge, the Chair will ask the offending person to leave the meeting until
that individual regains personal control. Should decorum fail to be restored, the Chair will
recess the meeting until such time that a genuine commitment to this public charge is
observed. All electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, and computers should please
be turned off or set to silent/vibrate.

GROVE SINGLE-FAMILY HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION
Michael Harvey received a request from the attorney of the Homeowners’ Association to have the meeting
continued since he was unable to be here. Mr. Harvey asked that the public hearing be opened and then
adjourned in a formal motion to a date and time specific, 7:30 p.m., January 9, 2012, to reconvene the
meeting at the West Campus office located at 131 W. Margaret Lane to hold the reconvened meeting in the
lower level conference room number 4.
Tom Brown opened the public hearing portion of the meeting. He needed a motion to continue the meeting
to January 9, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
MOTION made by Larry Wright to adjourn the meeting and reconvene on January 9, 2012 at 7:30 p.m.
Seconded by Mark Micol.
VOTE: Unanimous
Tom Brown: The public portion of the hearing is now closed.
A member of public asked how many times it could be continued and who requested this move. Michael
Harvey said the board would not take any questions on the matter.
Larry Wright suggested that since there was a long span of time between meetings that the minutes be
circulated early so that if there were changes, they could be made earlier to conserve time for the Board.
Tom Brown suggested that staff look into that and get back to the board.
AGENDA ITEM 7: ADJOURNMENT
MOTION: Larry Wright made a motion to adjourn. Seconded by James Carter.
VOTE: Unanimous
The meeting was adjourned at approximately 7:45 pm.
