Candidate for
Zoning Board of Appeals
Joe Schwartz
The Zoning Board of Appeals considers applications from property owners for variances to Fairfield's Zoning regulations, for reasons of hardship. The only issue that should concern the ZBA in each case is equity: what is the landowner's hardship and how will approving the variance impact the neighborhood and the Town. I will be a fair judge in these matters.
