The Zoning Board of Appeals is directly given appellate jursidiction by state law. Appellate jursidiction is the power to hear and decide appeals from decisions of the enforcement officer charged with the administration and enforcement of the zoning ordinance or local law. This is the primary function and purpose of a Zoning Board of Appeals in zoning administration and encompasses the power (if an appeal is properly taken to the board) to interpet the zoning ordinance of local law and to grant variances.
The ZBA meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 7:30 pm in the Gothic Cottage.
