Board of Adjustment

Overview

The Board of Adjustment (“Board”) is a quasi-judicial body that is appointed by the Town Council. The Board shall hear and decide appeals for variances from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance, only if, because of special circumstances applicable to the property including its size, shape, topography, location or surrounds, the strict application of the Zoning Ordinance will deprive such property of privileges enjoyed by other property of the same classification in the same zoning district.

The Board shall also hear and decide appeals in which it is alleged there is an error in an order, requirement or decision made by the zoning administrator in the enforcement of a zoning ordinance.

Meetings

The Board of Adjustment meets the 2nd Tuesday of the month, provided cases are scheduled.
