[Adopted 12-11-2002 by L.L. No. 8-2002]
This article shall be known and may be cited as the "Alternate Planning
Board and Zoning Board of Appeals Members Act." This article shall apply to
the appointment, terms, functions and powers of alternate members appointed
to serve on the Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals in the Town of
Eden.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the Planning Board/Zoning
Board of Appeals because members may find they have a conflict of interest
situation on a specific matter or are unavailable for a meeting before such
Board. In such instances, official business cannot be conducted, which may
delay or impede adherence to required timelines. The use of alternate members
in such instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions of this
article.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
