Zoning Board The Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA) typically meets every second Wednesday of the month (as needed) In general, the ZBA is the body established, with the purpose and authority to hear and decide most appeals from and to review any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Building Inspector or any other officer, official or board charged with enforcement of the Zoning Law of the Village. There are two types of appeals to the ZBA: Interpretations of the Zoning Law – The ZBA may only be asked to interpret the law AFTER an administrative official has made a decision. The individual appealing a decision may believe that the administrative official was wrong in either issuing or not issuing the permit, or the individual may believe they were incorrectly cited for violating the Zoning law. Request for a Variance – The ZBA has the power to issue variances from the Zoning law. There are two types of variances: use and area. State law provide the ZBA with the authority to grant variances if the applicant can show that the applicable zoning regulations and restrictions have caused unnecessary hardship. The authority to grant use and area appeals is governed by Chapter 275 of Village Code.

Coyote/Wildlife The Eastern coyote is firmly established in New York and are an integral part of our ecosystems. While most coyotes avoid interacting with people, some coyotes in suburbia become emboldened and appear to have lost their fear of people. Unintentional food sources attract coyotes and other wildlife, as well as increase risks to people and pets. Coyotes in residential areas can be attracted to human-created sources of food (i.e.: garbage or pet food) and begin to associate people with these food attractants. Below are steps you should take to reduce and prevent coyote problems from occurring. Do not allow coyotes to approach people, children, or pets. If you see a coyote, be aggressive in your behavior-stand tall and hold arms out to look large. If a coyote lingers for too long, then make loud noises and wave your arms. Teach children to appreciate coyotes from a distance; Children are a greatest risk of being injured. If a coyote has been observed repeatedly near an area where children frequent, be watchful. Do not feed coyotes and discourage others from doing so. Do not feed pets outside and eliminate availability of bird seed. Concentrations of birds and rodents that come to feeders can attract coyotes. Make any garbage inaccessible to coyotes and other animals. Do not allow pets to run free where coyotes frequent. Supervise all outdoor pets to keep them safe from coyotes and other wildlife, especially at sunset and at night. Remove brush and tall grass from around your property to reduce protective cover for coyotes. Coyotes are typically secretive and like areas where they can hide.
