Zoning board accepts Kyle Croto as alternate
Summary
The Swansea Zoning Board of Adjustment voted to accept Kyle Croto's application as an alternate; the board outlined swearing-in procedures and training resources for the new alternate and discussed alternate participation rules.
The Swansea Zoning Board of Adjustment voted to accept Kyle Croto's application as an alternate during its April 20 meeting. Croto introduced himself during a short interview and board members welcomed him, explaining training opportunities and the swearing-in process.
A committee member moved to accept the application and another member seconded; members voiced approval and the motion passed by voice vote. The staff member instructed Croto to be sworn in at the town clerk's office (Heather or Amanda) and to file the oath with the land use office before being seated as an alternate.
Board members advised the new alternate to take advantage of training and to avoid responding to public comments on social media or email about pending cases. The board discussed that alternates can participate in discussions in certain contexts but noted the proposed rules (to be finalized at a later public hearing) would restrict alternates from making/seconding motions or voting after a public hearing is closed unless they are formally seated.
The board did not take any additional formal action related to Croto's duties beyond approving the appointment; staff said they would include Croto on future communications and provide the zoning ordinance packet to help him prepare.
