Explain public hearing “basics” so the applicant and public can anticipate how the ZBA will conduct the hearing and know what to expect along the way. (Some ZBAs have a short “code of conduct” poster at the front of the hearing room as a reminder, and also as an aid to people who arrive after the hearing has opened). If the ZBA customarily ends meetings at a certain time, the public should be told at the outset so they are not surprised later.
