               There shall be and is hereby created a zoning board of adjustment of the County of
               Halifax, hereinafter called the board of adjustment, consisting of five members and
               three alternate members who shall be appointed in accordance with the following:
               
               <p class="hg1">
                  700.01 All members shall be residents of Halifax County who shall be appointed by
                  the governing body of Halifax County.
                  </p>
               
               <p class="hg1">
                  700.02 All members of the board of adjustment shall be appointed by the board of commissioners
                  for three-year terms: provided, however, that the terms of the members overlap.
                  </p>
               
               <p class="hg1">
                  700.03 Vacancies to fill the unexpired term of members of the board of adjustment
                  shall be filled in the same manner as other appointments. Any member shall be eligible
                  for reappointment.
                  </p>
               
               <p class="hg1">
                  700.04 All regular members of the board of adjustment and any alternate member or
                  members serving in the absence of any regular member or members shall have equal rights,
                  privileges, and duties in all matters pertaining to zoning regulations within the
                  planning jurisdiction of Halifax County. The concurring vote of four-fifths of the
                  board shall be necessary to grant a variance. A majority of the members shall be required
                  to decide any other quasi-judicial matter or to determine an appeal made in the nature
                  of certiorari. For the purposes of this subsection, vacant positions on the board
                  and members who are disqualified from voting on a quasi-judicial matter under G.S.
                  160D-109(d) shall not be considered members of the board for calculation of the requisite
                  majority if there are no qualified alternates available to take the place of such
                  members.
                  </p>
               
               <p class="hg1">
                  700.05 The terms of office of all alternate members shall coincide with the terms
                  of regular members of the board, provided, the term of office of any member may be
                  changed or terminated by the Halifax County Commissioners. All alternate members when
                  newly appointed shall meet with the regular members at all meetings until such time
                  as the chairman shall find that they are sufficiently oriented to their duties; after
                  such time the alternate member shall only be required to attend meetings in the absence
                  of a regular member after being notified by the chairman or someone acting as his
                  agent.
