The Zoning Hearing Board is composed of three appointed members who are residents of the Township. Each member is appointed for a period of three years and appointments are staggered so an appointment occurs each year. Should the Zoning Officer deny an applicant a permit, they may appeal that decision to the Board as well as any one who is cited by the Zoning Officer for violations. In appealing a denial or enforcement notice, the appellant may ask the board to grant them a variance or a special exception to construct a structure or use a property or to overrule the enforcement notice, the appellant may ask the board to grant them a variance or a special exception to construct a structure or use a property or to overrule the enforcement citation.

It may grant the petition, grant it with conditions or deny it. A person has the right to appeal any Board decision to the local Court of Common Pleas. Solicitor: Frank Skokoski, Esq.
