Board of Appeals
§ 155-48 Procedure and rules of Board of Appeals.
Such Board of Appeals shall, consistent with the Town Law, determine its own rules and procedures, and all of its deliberations, resolutions and orders shall be in accordance therewith.

§ 155-49 Powers of Board of Appeals.
A. The Board shall have the power to review any order or decision of the Codes Enforcement Officer. However, when a proposed site plan or proposed special use permit contains one or more features which do not comply with this chapter, the Zoning Board may entertain an area variance application relating thereto, without the necessity of a determination of the Codes Enforcement Officer. When a proposed subdivision plat contains one or more lots which do not comply with this chapter, the Zoning Board may entertain an application for an area variance without the necessity of a decision or determination of the Codes Enforcement Officer. However, in reviewing a variance application for a subdivision, the Zoning Board of Appeals shall request the Planning Board to provide a written recommendation concerning the proposed variance.

B. The Zoning Board of Appeals may, in a specific case and after due notice and public hearing and subject to appropriate conditions and safeguards, determine and vary the application of the regulations of this chapter in harmony with their general purpose and intent in accordance with the provisions and standards of the Town Law.
