Board of Appeals

Mission of the BOA

The Board of Appeals is available for building requests that do not comply with the Town's Setback Codes but would create an undue hardship on the applicant if they were to abide by those codes. The BOA is here to hear why compliance would be a hardship and to determine if there are alternate solutions which would be in keeping with the harmony of the town.
