Pursuant to § 7-718 of NYS Village Law, the Zoning
Board of Appeals previously established under local law and still
in existence at the time of this chapter's enactment shall hereby
be continued.
Two positions for alternate members may be created in the event
that a Zoning Board of Appeals member is unable to serve because of
a conflict of interest, absence, or for any other reason.
A. Such alternate
Zoning Board of Appeals members shall be appointed by resolution of
the Village Board, for terms established by the Village Board.
B. The Zoning
Board of Appeals Chairperson may designate an alternate member to
substitute for a Zoning Board of Appeals member when such member is
unable to participate due to a conflict of interest or is otherwise
unavailable to participate on an application or matter before the
Board, provided that the Village Board has appointed such alternate
member to the position of alternate member.
C. When so
designated, such alternate member shall have all the powers and responsibilities
of such member of the Board. Such designation shall be entered into
the minutes of the initial Zoning Board of Appeals meeting at which
the designation occurred.
D. All other
provisions of law relating to Zoning Board of Appeals member training,
and continuing education, attendance, conflict of interest, compensation,
eligibility, vacancy in office, removal and service on other boards
shall also apply to alternate members.
