[Adopted 6-9-2010 by Ord. No. 8-2010]
This article shall apply to the appointment, terms, functions
and powers of alternate members appointed to serve on the Planning
Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals in the Town of Lloyd. This article
shall also apply to the attendance records of Planning Board and Zoning
Board of Appeals members in the Town of Lloyd.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the Planning
Board and the Zoning Board of Appeals because members are ill or on
extended vacation or find they have a conflict of interest situation
on a specific matter before such a 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 article. Establishment
of an attendance policy for Planning Board members and Zoning Board
of Appeals members can decrease the problem of failure of the Board
to act because of a lack of majority.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board when a regular
member is unable to participate on an application or matter before
the respective board, as provided herein.
MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the
Town Planning Board or 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.
PLANNING BOARD
The Planning Board of the Town of Lloyd as established by
the Town Board, pursuant to the provisions of § 271 of Town
Law.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Lloyd as established
by the Town Board, pursuant to the provisions of § 267 of
the Town Law.
This article 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, Subdivision 15, of the Town Law relating to the appointment of
alternate members to Town Planning Boards; and/or
B. Section
267, Subdivision 11, of Town Law relating to the appointment of alternate
members to the Town Zoning Board of Appeals.
