The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) is authorized to hear and
decide appeals where it is alleged there has been an error in interpretation
of any Zoning Code provisions or in any order, requirement, decision
or determination made by the Code Enforcement Officer.
Appeals of administrative decisions may be filed by any person
aggrieved by the Code Enforcement Officer. The ZBA is authorized to
make determinations about whether individuals filing appeals are aggrieved
by the decision or action.
The filing of a complete notice of appeal stays all proceedings
in furtherance of the action appealed, unless the Code Enforcement
Officer certifies to the ZBA, after the appeal is filed, that, because
of facts stated in the certification, a stay would cause immediate
peril to life or property.
Upon receipt of a complete application of appeal, the Code Enforcement
Officer or other administrative official whose decision is being appealed
must transmit to the ZBA all papers constituting the record upon which
the action appealed is taken.
Notice of required public hearings on appeals must be provided as required by the Town Board and by state law. See §
106-50.3 of this chapter for additional information on public hearing notices.
