[Adopted 9-9-2013 by L.L. No. 2-2013]
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 Castleton-on-Hudson.
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.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the
meanings indicated:
ALTERNATE MEMBER
An individual appointed by the Village 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 Village Board to serve on
the Village Planning Board or Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to
the provisions of the local law which first established such Planning
Board.

as established by the Village Board pursuant to the provisions of
Village Law.
ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village of Castleton-on-Hudson
as established by the Village Board, pursuant to the provisions of
the Village Law.
This article is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of
§ 10 of the NYS Municipal Home Rule Law and § 10
of the NYS Statute of Local Governments. It is the intent of the Board
of Trustees pursuant to § 10 of the NYS Municipal Home Rule
Law to supersede all inconsistent provisions of the Village Law.
