The Bernalillo County Board of Adjustment, the members of which include: Linda Barbour (Vice Chair), Steve Becerra, Toby Atencio, George Castillo (Chair), and Bernie Sanchez, gave them, yet again, another deferral, which they requested the day after the signs were to be posted. I guess I should be happy. It was ONLY a 60-day deferral, not the 90-days that they requested. Yet, I'm not happy. They should have not only been denied their request, their appeal should have been thrown out entirely!
You see, the appeals packet has a page, a contract agreement, that states they shall post the zoning signs 15-days prior and keep them posted for 15-days post hearing. The appellants, Andrew Cross & Dorothea Lotter d/b/a Edgewood Longears Safehouse, did not post the signs until 3-days prior to the hearing. That contract page states that failure to post and maintain those signs shall be cause for the appeal to be either deferred OR denied.
The reason I say that the referral and the appeal should have been denied is because the signs were to be posted on July 23. They did not post the signs. On July 24, they submitted a letter requesting a 90-day deferral. I submitted a letter on or around Aug 1 requesting that the deferral request be denied, citing the obvious - no signs - and that it was an obvious ploy to get yet another deferral. The signs were posted, after they were contacted by someone, probably zoning, just 3 days prior to the hearing. Then, the Board of Adjustment grants them another deferral.
These people have received deferral after deferral; extension after extension and they are STILL BREAKING THE LAW!
Enough already!
