[Adopted 7-13-2010 by L.L. No. 3-2010]
The title of this article is "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 Village of
Hammondsport.
It is sometimes difficult to maintain a quorum on the Planning
Board and 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 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
meaning indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER

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

to serve on the Village Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals.

122-45 of the Village Code.
This article is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of
§ 10 of the New York State Municipal Home Rule Law and § 10
of the New York State Statute of Local Governments. It is the intent
of the Village Board of Trustees, pursuant to § 10 of the

the Village Planning Boards.
