What this form is
The packet sets out Tiverton Zoning Board of Review procedures and includes an Entry of Appearance for a petitioner’s counsel or representative. Its owner authorization section allows a property owner to authorize someone to represent them before the Board and includes a notarial jurat. The rules say entries of appearance accompany each petition, and the instructions cover application materials, fees, and deadlines for applicants seeking a variance or special use permit.
Who needs it
A petitioner’s counsel or representative uses the Entry of Appearance, while an owner authorizes a representative to act before the Board using the included authorization section.
Why it needs a notary
The owner authorization has a “Subscribed and sworn to before me” jurat, so the owner signs the authorization before a notary.
