New or additional information from the appeals ap- plicant may be considered by the Board of Adjustments and Appeals at its sole discretion, if that information serves to clarify information previously considered by the Variance Board and/or staff.]" Note: Mr. Stark noted that the proposed amendment to Chapter 1014.04(C)(2) indicated by a "double strike-out" was proposed following additional dis- cussion with and research by the City Attorney. Discussion included rationale for the proposed language amendments; legal rights of land use applicants being upheld even with the amended language, but making the appeal process less burdensome for the City; and the ability of the City to retain flexibility regarding hearing additional evidence. Mayor Klausing opened and closed the Public Hearing at 7: 15 p.m. with no one appearing for or against. Roe moved, Pust seconded, enactment of Ordinance No. 1347 entitled "Amending Chapter 1014.04 (C) (2) and Chapter 1014.04 (C) relating to Variance Board Appeals Process" as detailed in the staff report dated April 23, 2007; and amended as previously indicated to read as follows: Amend Chapter 1014.04(C)(2) of the City Code to read: "The written appeal shall state the specific grounds upon which the appeal is made and shall be accompanied by a fee established by resolution of the City Council.
