§ 16-348. Establishment of the board of adjustment.

(a)

There is hereby created and established a board of adjustment (hereinafter called the BOA) which shall consist of five members who shall be residents of the town. The members shall be appointed by the board of commissioners for a regular term of office of three years. Board members whose terms of office have expired may be reappointed to serve consecutive terms. In appointing members to fill vacancies, the board of commissioners shall appoint persons to serve the remaining terms of office rather than a full three years.

(b)

There shall be two alternate members to serve on the board in the absence for any cause of any regular member. Alternate members shall also be residents of the town and shall be appointed by the board of commissioners. The terms of office of alternate members shall also be for three years. Alternate members shall have and may exercise all the powers and duties of a regular member while attending any regular or special meeting of the board of adjustment. The members of the board shall receive no compensation for their services.

(c)

No more than one regular member and one alternate member of the board shall be permitted to sit concurrently on the planning board or on the board of commissioners.
