Albert: No. lam merely presenting motions. Q) ~ ^ 1: That's fine then. . ~bert: My first motion is. Mr. Chairman. is a formal motion to immediately intervene as a party in the proceedings. The request for my motion is that in the petition that has been filed by the appelants in this case references made to activities all edged by Royal Esquire, Inc. and one of its employees. That Royal Esquire Realities has a substantial interest in the property and the zoning activity that occurred. ,md I think becuase of that fact that we should be a party of these proceedings and be permitted the right that any other party has in the proceedings. I think that this affects us as much as it does the City Council. which is another party and the people who have made this petition. Maybe even more so. We have a substancial investment so far in the property by:yway of tying up money. and I think we ought to be granted that right. Therefore. I make a motion to intervene as a party. Cox: Council do you have a copy? Yes CAN'T HEAR Goodrich: Mr. Chairman, the statute indicates that any party may appear at the hearing or by agent or attorney and may give testimony we substitute. Board willing. so that Mr. Albert could be heard tongith. end he may be made a party to the proceeding. I'm not sure to the substance or affedt whether or not he is not a party since I indicated previously that we are not in a court proceeding; however. I think it is appropriate that he do be a party and this motion be granted. . Cox: What would be the proper manner for accepting this? Goodrich: I would think that a motion by the Board. Since this is a procedural manner I think that the Chairman could make this decision. Cox: And just accept this? Goodrich: Right. And subject to the Bocrds challenge. Cox: We accept your motion then. Albert: I have another motion. Mr. Chairman. This motion that I presented here was a motion to disqualify a member of this panel from sitting. The petition that has been filed before you and signed by Mr. Oliphant. and I believe. that his wife is sitting in judicial position in judgement of a matter in which her husband appears of record as the council. I think this is highly improper procedure. and I think that either she should disqualify herself or he should disqualify himself as council for the petitioners. CAN'T HEAR Oliphant: I am in agreement with this also. CAN'T HEAR Goodrich: l1r. Chairman. Mrs. Oliphant on her own has disqualified herself.
