The Board of Selectmen shall, within 30 days after the adoption of this bylaw and thereafter as terms expire or vacancies occur, make appointments to a Board of Appeals as provided in MGL c. 40A, § 12, as amended, having all the powers and duties as provided in MGL c. 40A, § 14. Said powers shall include the authority:

The Board of Appeals shall consist of three members appointed for terms of such length and so arranged that the term of one appointee shall expire each year. There shall also be appointed two associate members for a term of three years, so that in case of vacancy, inability to act, or interest on the part of a member of said Board, the Board member's place may be taken temporarily by the associate member. Said Board shall elect annually a Chairman from its own members.

Any person aggrieved by the refusal of the Building Commissioner to issue a permit or license on the grounds of noncompliance with this bylaw or any person aggrieved by a decision of the Building Commissioner may appeal to the Board of Appeals as provided in Chapter 40A of the Massachusetts General Laws and all amendments thereto.

No petition or appeal to the Board of Appeals under this article which has been unfavorably acted upon by said Board shall be considered on its merits by said Board within two years after the date of such unfavorable action, except with the consent of all members of the Board of Appeals.
