If an appeal is granted by the Board of Appeal, the plan examiner is still not relieved of responsibility with respect to the particular issue.

If an appeal is granted by the Board of Appeal, the plan examiner is still not relieved of responsibility with respect to the particular issue.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not determinable
• D. Ambiguity remains

Answer: (B)

The key idea is that an appeal decision by the Board overrides the plan examiner’s prior ruling on the issue. When the Board grants the appeal, the controlling outcome for that issue changes, and the plan examiner is relieved of responsibility for enforcing or defending that specific point. The examiner then focuses on implementing the Board’s decision, processing any required revisions, and addressing other issues still under review, but the particular issue in question is no longer within the examiner’s original decision authority.
