HILLSBOROUGH: Larger zoning board OK’d

   An ordinance empowering the township zoning Board of Adjustment to have four alternate members was adopted Oct. 9 by the Township Committee.
   The ordinance brings that provision into compliance with board by-laws, said Leon Krals, board chairman. The board has been operating with seven regular members and four alternates.
   Alternate members are often called upon in use variance requests, when five affirmative votes are needed to approve, said Mr. Krals. Applicants sometimes ask for a postponement if there are fewer than seven voting members in attendance.
