Knox County BZA refunds fee, withdraws three agenda items

The Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals voted to refund an application fee for a withdrawn agenda item and accepted the withdrawal of two other items during a procedural portion of its September meeting.

Chair Paul Huff opened the session, the clerk called roll and the board confirmed a quorum of eight members present. The body noted that items 4A, 4B and 6A were withdrawn and moved to refund the fee for 4A in the applicant’s absence; a motion to refund carried by voice vote (tally not specified). The board later approved formal withdrawal of 4B and 6A.

The meeting opened with Chair Paul Huff reading the BZA’s variance standard and process under Knox County ordinances and the law director swore in anyone who intended to give testimony. The board then moved into the scheduled agenda of variance and boundary requests.
