In spite of the appellant?s allegations, based on our review of the record, staff cannot conclude that the Board failed to fulfill its responsibilities, or that the substantial rights of the applicant were prejudiced by a procedural error by the Board in hearing this matter. Accordingly, staff believes that this decision is well within the powers granted to the locality by Chapter 13 of Section 28.2 of the Code of Virginia and recommends that the May 21, 2007 decision of the Virginia Beach Wetlands Board be upheld.
