Members. There is established a zoning board of appeals, which shall perform its duties and
exercise its powers as provided in section 5 of Public Act No. 207 of 1921 (MCL 125.585), as amended, and in such a way that the
objectives of this chapter shall be observed, public safety secured and substantial
justice done. The board shall consist of not less than five members, appointed by
the village council, each to be appointed for a term of three years, respectively,
so as nearly as may be possible to provide for the appointment of an equal number
each year, depending on the number of members; thereafter, each member to hold office
for the full three-year term. Any vacancies on the board shall be filled by appointment
by the council for the remainder of the unexpired term. The zoning board of appeals
shall annually elect its own chair, vice-chair and secretary. The compensation of
the appointed members of the zoning board of appeals may be fixed by the village council.
(b)
Alternate members. The council may appoint no more than two alternate members of the zoning board of
appeals who shall serve as a member of the board upon the call of the chair where
a regular member is absent from or unable to attend two or more consecutive meetings
of the board or for a period of 30 consecutive days. An alternate member may also
be called to serve in the place of a regular member for the purpose of reaching a
decision on a case in which the regular member has abstained for reasons of conflict
of interest. The alternate member having been appointed shall serve in the case until
a final decision has been made. The alternate member shall have the same voting rights
in cases he hears as a regular member of the board of appeals. Appointments of alternate
members for the first year shall be for a period of one and two years, respectively;
thereafter, each alternate member to hold office for the full three-year term.
