ZBA Denial: The ZBA denies the appeal. The applicant drops the proposed project or modifies the proposal and resubmits it. Challenges are taken to a Circuit Court. Judges are directed to assure that the ZBA's decisions comply with the law, followed proper procedure, are supported by competent material, and represent a reasonable exercise of discretion.
