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 Lake Grove.
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 instance, official business cannot be conducted
which may delay or impede adherence to required timeliness. 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

to serve on the Village Planning Board and Zoning Board of Appeals
when a regular member is unable to participate on an application or

Rule Law and § 10 of the New York State Statute of Local

of members of the Village Planning Boards.
B. Section 7-7 12 of the Village Law relating to the
