This chapter shall be known as the "Alternate Planning Board and Zoning
Board of Appeals Members." This chapter shall apply to the appointment, terms,
functions and powers of the alternate members appointed to serve on the Planning
Board and Zoning Board of Appeals in the Village of Greene.
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,
have work-related conflicts 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 timeliness.
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 meaning
indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Village Board of Trustees to serve
on the Village Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals when a regular member
is unable to participate on an application or matter before the respective
Board, as provided herein.
This chapter is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of § 10
of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law. It is the intent of the Village
Board of Trustees, pursuant to § 10 of the New York State Municipal
Home Rule Law, to supersede the provisions of:
A. Section 7-718 of the Village Law relating to the appointment
of members to Village Planning Boards.
B. Section 7-712 of the Village Law relating to the appointment
of members of Village Zoning Boards of Appeal.
