A Zoning Board of Adjustment is hereby established,
pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40:55D-69 et seq., consisting of seven members
and four alternate members, all residents of the Township of Evesham
appointed by the Township Council. Regular members shall serve for
terms of four years from July 1 of the year of their appointment,
and alternate members shall serve for terms of two years from July
1 of the year of their appointment. No member may hold any elective
office or position under the Township government. At the time of their
appointment, the alternate members shall be designated by the Township
Council as "Alternate No. 1," "Alternate No. 2," "Alternate No. 3,"
and "Alternate No. 4." The terms of the alternate members shall be
determined so that the expiration of such terms shall be distributed
evenly over the first two years after their appointment. The terms
of no more than two alternate members shall expire in the same year.
The original appointments to the positions of Alternate No. 3 and
Alternate No. 4 may be staggered or one appointment made for less
than two years so that the terms of no more than two alternate members
shall expire in the same year. In the event that a choice must be
made as to which alternate member is to vote, alternate members shall
vote in the order of their numerical designations. Alternate members
may participate in discussions of the proceedings but may not vote,
except in the absence or disqualification of a regular member. A vote
shall not be delayed in order that a regular member may vote instead
of an alternate member.
A vacancy occurring otherwise than by expiration
of term shall be filled for the unexpired term only.
[Amended 10-17-1978 by Ord. No. 38-11-78]
A member or alternate member may, after public
hearing if he or she requests it, be removed by the Township Council
for cause. "Cause" shall include but not be limited to excessive absenteeism
which is not excused for illness or other justified reason.
