or find they have a conflict of interest situation on a specific matter before
such Board. In such instances, official business cannot be conducted, which
may delay or impede adherence to required time lines. The use of alternate
members in such instances is hereby authorized pursuant to the provisions
of this chapter.
As used in this chapter, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
An individual appointed by the Town Board to serve on the Town Planning
Board or the Town Zoning Board of Appeals when a regular member is unable
to participate on an application or matter before the respective Board, as
provided herein.

Board or the Town Zoning Board of Appeals pursuant to the provisions of the
local law or ordinance which first established such Planning Board or Zoning
Board of Appeals.

Town Board by local law or ordinance, pursuant to the provisions of § 271
of the Town Law.
The Zoning Board of Appeals of the Town of Glenville as established
by the Town Board by local law or ordinance, pursuant to the provisions of
§ 267 of the Town Law.

absent or unable to participate on an application or matter before the respective
Board.

The Town Board shall appoint two alternate members for
the Planning Board and two alternate members for the Zoning Board of Appeals.
The alternate members shall be appointed for terms of five years.
C.
The Chairpersons of the Planning Board and the Zoning
Board of Appeals may designate an alternate to substitute for a member when
such member is unable to participate on an application or matter before the
Board. When so designated, the alternate member shall possess all the powers
and responsibilities of such member of the Board. Such designation shall be
entered into the minutes of the initial Planning Board or Zoning Board of
Appeals meeting at which the substitution is made.

All provisions of state law relating to Planning Board
or Zoning Board of Appeals member eligibility, vacancy in office, removal,
compatibility of office and service on other boards, as well as any provisions
