ZONING BOARD OF APPEALS

 

In accordance with Section 8-6 of the Connecticut General Statutes, the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) has the following powers and duties: (1) To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged that there is an error in any order, requirement or decision made by the Zoning Enforcement Officer, and (2) To determine and vary the application of the zoning regulations in harmony with their general purpose and intent and with due consideration for conserving the public health, safety, convenience, welfare and property values solely with respect to a parcel of land where, owing to conditions especially affecting such parcel but not affecting generally the district in which it is situated, a literal enforcement of such regulations would result in exceptional difficulty or unusual hardship so that substantial justice will be done and the public safety and welfare secured.

 

The ZBA is not required to hear any application for the same variance or substantially the same variance for a period of six months after a decision by the board or by a court on an earlier such application.

The ZBA meets at 7:00 p.m. on the third Tuesday of each month, at the Canoe Brook Senior Center, 11 Cherry Hill Road.

 

Appointed by the Board of Selectmen for four-year terms, the members of the ZBA are:

 

James Sette, Chairman

Anthony Beccia

Lawrence Fisher

Frank Kinney

David Laska

Christine Ciociola (alternate)

 Linda Reed (alternate)

Attorney Peter Berdon (alternate)
