The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) consists of seven members appointed by the Town Board. Current ZBA members are:
- Robert Goetsch, Chairperson
- Donna Charboneau
- George Ianson
- Glenn McKee
- Lindsay Mydlarz
- William Pittman
The ZBA meets on the fourth Thursday of each month and the meetings are open to the public. Any change in specific meeting dates will be posted outside the Hague Community Center and listed under the News/Planning Board section of this website.
The purpose of the ZBA is:
- To render determinations where variances from the zoning code are requested.
- To hear appeals from applicants seeking interpretation or reversal of determination by the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
For approval of development which does not conform to the Hague Zoning Code, an applicant is required to complete both the Application for Land Use Development and an Application for a Zoning Board of Appeals Variance. In general the process is summarized as follows:
- The Application for Variance is submitted to the Zoning Enforcement Officer.
- At the first meeting of the ZBA, it determines if the application is complete.
- The Planning Board makes a recommendation to the ZBA.
- At the second meeting of the ZBA, a public hearing is held and a decision is rendered by the ZBA.
