Appeal No.: 3-2011
Appellant: John Salvador, Jr.
Project Location: Joshua’s Rock
Meeting Date: August 24, 2011
Information requested:
Appellant has filed an appeal application which references section 179-
Zoning; Article 16-Administration, Section 179-16-010, A - Zoning
Administrator.
Staff comments:
Standing:
Was the appeal taken within the appropriate 60 day time frame and is
the appealing party aggrieved?
The application was signed and filed with the Town on July 18, 2011.
The appellant has not demonstrated that he is the property owner,
immediate neighbor or a party of interest in the subject property.
However, the appellant does lay claim to underwater lands at the
foot of Dunham’s Bay roughly 900 ft south of the subject parcel.
While the appellant may be a property owner in the general vicinity of
the subject property, the appeal paperwork does not reference, as
required, a specific Zoning Administrator decision from which he is
appealing. It appears as though the filed paperwork is vague, untimely
and unfounded. The decision made by the Zoning Administrator on
Note:
this property was issued on April 13, 2011 which is well over the allowable
60 day timeframe for appeals.
Further, the appellant is not a property owner of the parcel in question,
nor is he an immediate neighbor. Merely being subject to the same code
as the owner of the property of interest does not create standing.
There does not appear to be adequate standing for this appeal to move
forward.
