Mission Statement

The Zoning Board of Appeals is directly given jurisdiction by State Law. Appellate jurisdiction is the power to hear and decide appeals from decisions of those officials charged with the administration and enforcement of the zoning ordinance or local law. This is the primary function and purpose of the Zoning Board of Appeals in zoning administration and encompasses the power (if an appeal is properly taken to the board) to interpret the zoning ordinance or local law and to grant variances (use/area with the imposition of conditions).

Terms of Office

The Town Board appoints all Zoning Board members for a period of five year terms. The Town Board appoints the Chairman and Vice-Chairman on an annual basis.
