It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the Planning Board
and the Zoning Board of Appeals because members are ill, on extended vacation
or find they have a conflict of interest situation on a specific matter before
such Board. In such instances, official business cannot be conducted, which
may delay or impede adherence to required time lines. The use of alternate
members in such instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER

Board or the Town Zoning Board of Appeals when a regular member is unable
to participate on an application or matter before the respective Board, as
provided herein.
MEMBER

Board or the Town Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to the provisions of the
local law or ordinance which first established such Planning Board or Zoning
Board of Appeals.

of the Town Law.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Glenville as established
by the Town Board by local law or ordinance, pursuant to the provisions of
§ 267 of the Town Law.
This chapter is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 10
of the Municipal Home Rule Law and § 10 of the Statute of Local
Governments. It is the intent of the Town Board, pursuant to § 10
of the Municipal Home Rule Law, to supersede the provisions of:
A. Section 271 of the Town Law relating to the appointment
of members to town planning boards; and
B. Section 267 of the Town Law relating to the appointment
