Took his seat on the City of Norton Shores Zoning Board of Appeals and, at his first meeting, moved to deny a variance that would have let the owner of 4046 Dunes Parkway keep a chicken coop built in the side yard, arguing other build locations remained available and that neighbors' objections showed the structure changed the character of the neighborhood; the motion carried on a 4-1 roll call.
