[Adopted 7-12-1999 by L.L.
No. 1-1999]
This article shall apply to the appointment, terms, functions and powers
of alternate members appointed to serve on the Zoning Board of Appeals in
the Village of Larchmont.
This article is adopted for the purposes of providing for the appointment
of alternate members of the Village Zoning Board of Appeals. Such alternate
members are to serve in the event of absence, disqualification, resignation
or conflict of interest of any regularly appointed member of the Zoning Board
of Appeals. This article is adopted pursuant to New York Municipal Home Rule
Law, §§ 10 and 22, intending to modify, enlarge and supersede
the provisions of § 7-712 of the Village Law to the extent this
article contradicts § 7-712.
As used in this article, the following terms shall have the meanings
indicated:
An individual appointed by the Mayor and approved by the Village
Board of Trustees to serve on the Village Zoning Board of Appeals when a regular
member is unable to participate on an application or matter before the Zoning
Board of Appeals, as provided by this article.
The Mayor, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees, is hereby
authorized to appoint no more than three alternate members to the Zoning Board
of Appeals. These individuals may serve when members are absent or unable
to participate on an application or matter before the Board.
Alternate members shall sit as members of the Board exercising full
power as if they were regular members, when regular members of the Board are
unable to attend a meeting or participate on a matter.
Insofar as practicable, service of the alternate members shall rotate
among them. At no time shall more than two alternate members serve on any
matter. When such an alternate member or members shall sit as a regular member
of the Board, the Secretary of the Zoning Board of Appeals shall make an entry
in the minutes of the Board meeting certifying that a regular member or members
of the Board were unable to participate or attend and that the alternate member
or members were sitting as full members of the meeting or matter.
Alternate members of the Zoning Board of Appeals for a term of three
years.
This article is hereby adopted pursuant to the provisions of §§ 10
and 22 of the New York Municipal Home Rule Law. It is the intent of the Village
Board of Trustees to supersede the provisions of any existing law relating
to the appointment of members to the Village Zoning Board of Appeals to the
extent that this article is contrary to § 7-712.
