Series 23611

A separate agency history is available.

DESCRIPTION: In 1994 the Enoch city council reorganized a board of adjustments, which had earlier functioned from 1985-1990. They established that the board should meet quarterly. According to Utah code, municipal legislative bodies can organize a board of adjustment to hear petitions for variance and make special exceptions to zoning specifications (Utah Code Annotated, 10-9-103(1), 1997). The early minutes of the Enoch board of adjustment describe training sessions for board members. From March 1994 to September 1995 the board did not get beyond discussing staffing and training. In September 1995, the board heard an appeal of the planning commission's decision to permit multiple-family residences and commercial zoning near the Homestead subdivision. The summary of this discussion is about 30 pages long and is followed by a list of those in attendance and several maps, including maps of the subdivision, Enoch's master plan map and a zoning map. From January 1996 through the end of 1998 board meetings were brief or canceled and dealt only with staffing and training issues. All meetings scheduled from April 1999 to April 2001 were canceled because the board had no business.

ARRANGEMENT: Enoch board of adjustment minutes are chronological by date of meeting.
