EN GIN EERS OFFICE Stanley H. Kellerhouse Municipal Building One Van Wyck Street, 2nd floor Croton-on-Hudson, NY 10520-2501 Mayor Leo A.W. Wiegman Trustees Ann H. Gallelli Ian W. Murtaugh Gregory Schmidt Casey Raskob Village Manager Abraham Zambrano Assistant Village Manager Janine King Village Treasurer Sandra Bullock Village Engineer/Building Inspector Daniel O’Connor, P.E. Asst. Building Inspector/Assessor Joseph Sperber Fire Inspector Peter Anfiteatro MEMORANDUM Date: June 22, 2011 To: Abe Zambrano From: Daniel O’Connor Subject: Fee Schedule – Addition and Modification of ZBA Application Fees A resident not satisfied with a ZBA decision is going to make a request for a rehearing under section 230-164(K) of the Zoning Code. The Village fee schedule does not specifically list a fee for a rehearing in front of the ZBA. It is recommended that the VB adopt a fee of $200 for a rehearing. The rehearing requires the same noticing as the original hearing for the application so the Village has the same legal notice and homeowner notification and other processing expenses except that the homeowner mailing list is already developed from the first hearing. It is also requested that the fee for a ZBA application for an interpretation be reduced to $150. An application for an interpretation of a provision of the zoning code or an administrative official’s decision requires no public hearing, legal notice or neighbor notification expenses. It is requested that this be done at the next available Village Board meeting (regular or work session) so a specific fee is established for a rehearing. ZBA Application Appeal, Variance, Special Permit, Interpretation $250 ZBA Application Interpretation $150 ZBA Application Rehearing $200 230-164K. Rehearing. Any member of the Zoning Board of Appeals may make a motion to hold a rehearing on any order or determination of the Board not previously reheard. A unanimous vote of all members of the Board then present is required for such rehearing to occur. The rehearing is subject to the same notice provisions as the original hearing. Upon such rehearing, the Board may reverse, modify or annul its original order, decision or determination upon the unanimous vote of all members then present, provided the Board finds that the rights vested in persons acting in good faith in reliance upon the reheard order, decision or determination will not be prejudiced thereby.
