Minor correction: I am not an architect. I'm a software entrepreneur.

would love to see some new blood in both of these committees.. all the new applicants look great, and it is time for the folks appointed years ago (esp. Breen, Warr, McKitterick) to step aside and allow others to participate.. also prevents conflict of interest having local architect and local landscape designer approving or disallowing the work of their competitors and themselves. a four year limit seems about right, since these are appointed, not elected, positions
