Town of Greece 8-17-1977 by L.L. No. 4-1977. Amendments noted where

This chapter shall be known and may be cited
as "Local Law No. 4 of the Year 1977, Changing the Terms of Office
of the Members of the Town of Greece Planning Board."
[Amended 3-17-1992 by L.L. No. 1-1992]
The Town Board of the Town of Greece, through
the power granted to it under the appropriate provisions of the Town
Law, has created a Planning Board and has appointed members to said
Board. The Planning Board will consist of seven members. The Planning
Board has been given certain powers such as site plan review, adding
or changing the Official Map of the Town, approval of plats, granting
of special permits in specific instances and changes in the zoning
conditions as part of plat approval. In order to provide the people
of the Town of Greece a more frequent opportunity to serve on such
an important Board in the Town of Greece, which Board affects the
lives and property of many residents, the Town Board has determined
to exercise the authority given to it under the Laws of the State
of New York to amend the Town Law to reduce the duration of the terms
during which a Planning Board member holds office.
As used in this chapter, the following terms
shall have the meanings indicated:
A person appointed to the Planning Board of the Town of Greece
by the Town Board of the Town of Greece, pursuant to the authority
granted the Town Board under § 271 of the Town Law.
[Amended 3-17-1992 by L.L. No. 1-1992]
The period of time a member of the Planning Board, appointed
by the Town Board, shall hold office.
[Amended 7-23-2020 by L.L. No. 2-2020]
Any person appointed as a member of the Planning
Board by the Town Board of the Town of Greece after the effective
date of this chapter shall serve for a term of three years from the
date of appointment. If a vacancy shall occur other than by expiration
of term, it shall be filled by the Town Board by appointment for the
unexpired term. As authorized by New York State Town Law and the Municipal
Home Rule Law, the Town Board may appoint alternate Planning Board
members for the purposes of substituting for a Planning Board member
in the event such member is unable to participate for any reason.
[Amended 3-17-1992 by L.L. No. 1-1992]
This chapter shall amend § 271 of
the Town Law as it applies to the Town of Greece, pursuant to the
authority granted the Town Board of the Town of Greece by the laws
of the State of New York, including § 10 of the Municipal
Home Rule Law.
