He had advised the Building Inspector of this and in the future the advertisement would be changed. Administrator Wurl commented this require- ment is not uncommon but is designed when they deal with appeals as relates to the building phases. The Board of Adjustments is different. The requirement is fairly standard on the Board of Appeals; at times they deal with Hhether a certain type of wall board or ceiling tile, etc. can be used according to fire ratings. So there are technical aspects on the Appeals side of it. Suggested that perhaps there should be a mixture of people, since the Board is com- bined. It was his feeling that the variance aspect did not require the construction know- ledge;felt that would more appropriately need just a reflection of community norms. Suggested that perhaps the two Boards be separated-he felt that it would be difficult to be objective on the Appeals Board if they did not have construction knowledge. However, if there was a mixture of people with the Boards combined and it was diverse he could foresee a lot of conflicts, perhaps the Boards should be separate in this respect. Felt that if the Boards remain combined the advertisement was appropriate. Question called for on the motion. All in favor. Motion carried unanimously.
