REVISOR'S NOTE: Subsections (a) and (b) of this section
are new language derived without substantive
change from former Article 59, § 32A(b) and
(a)(2), (3), and the second clause of (1).

Subsection (c)(1), (2), (4), and (5) of this
section is new language derived without
substantive change from former Article 59, §
32A(c)(3), the second, third, and fourth
sentences of (1), the second, third, and fourth
sentences of (2), and the second, third, and
fourth sentences of (4).

Subsection (c)(3) of this section is standard
language added to provide for gaps in membership
by indicating that a member serves until a
successor takes office. This provision is
supported by the cases of Benson v. Mellor, 152
Md. 481 (1927) and Grooms v. LaVale Zoning Board,
27 Md. App. 266 (1975).

Subsection (c)(2) of this section is revised to
refer to the terms of the members as of 1982.
Therefore, each of the first sentences of former
Article 59, § 32A(c)(l), (2), and (4), which
provided for the initial terms of the members,
are deleted. As to subsection (c)(2) of this
section, the Commission to Revise the Annotated
Code notes, for consideration by the General
Assembly, that the current members of some boards
are serving terms that vary from those provided
