In exercising the power granted by Section 9.2.2, the Zoning
Board of Appeals may, in conformity with the provisions of this By-law
and of MGL Chapter 40A, make orders or decisions, reverse or affirm
in whole or in part or modify any order or decision and to that end
shall have all of the powers of the officers from whom the appeal
is taken and may issue or direct the issuance of a permit.
|
When granting a variance, the Zoning Board of Appeals may impose
conditions, safeguards and limitations both of time and of use, including
the continued existence of any particular structures, but excluding
any condition, safeguard or limitation based upon the continued ownership
of the land or structures to which the variance pertains by the applicant,
petitioner or any owner.
|
If the rights authorized by a variance are not exercised within
one year of the date of the granting of such variance, such rights
shall lapse; provided, however, that the permit granting authority
in its discretion and upon written application by the grantee of such
rights may extend the time for exercise of such rights for a period
not to exceed six months; and provided, further, that the application
for such extension is filed with such permit granting authority prior
to the expiration of such one year period.
