Apply to Join the Town of Brutus Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA)

We currently need alternate members for each board.  An alternate member attends all meetings but does not vote on the items before the board unless there is not a quorum of regular members, at which time the alternate member would vote. It is therefore important that alternate members attend each meeting as they may need to vote on the proposed project.

The Zoning Board of Appeals reviews applications for variances to the current zoning laws and special permits for Town parcels only.

The Zoning Board of Appeals does not meet as often and they meet the second Wednesday of the month, if they have an application before them.
