The purpose of the Beautification Committee is to encourage citizens to maintain and enhance the beauty of our community . The committee sets standards for planting of trees in new subdivisions and the replacement of the existing trees. They also plan the annual Arbor Day and Tree City USA celebration. During the Tree City USA ceremony a tree is planted honoring a person or group who has made a difference in Wellsville.
Wellsville has been a proud Tree City USA recipient since 1988.
Meetings: As needed, at the City Offices. All Board of Adjustment meetings are open to the public. In accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, the City will make reasonable accommodations to participate in the meeting. Request for assistance can be made by contacting the City Recorder at least 48 hours in advance of the meeting to be held.
The members of the Board of Adjustment are ordinary citizens of Wellsville. They are not City employees, but citizens with their own vocations who desire to donate some time to the City. The Board members do not answer to the Mayor, City Council or Planning Commission, and can act as an independent, quasi-judicial body.
A variance is permission by the City to waive or alter a standard requirement of the Development Code (zoning ordinance). For example, a builder may ask that a new structure be allowed closer to the property line or be allowed to cover more of the property than is allowed by code. State Law requires that certain findings must be met in order for a variance to be granted.
A special exception is asking the Board for some type of land use that is appropriate in some areas of the City, but not appropriate in all areas of the City. The types of land uses that the Board can approve as special exceptions are specifically defined in the zoning ordinance.
To add an item on the Board of Adjustment’s agenda please contact the City Manager.
