The law provides that, once a zoning or planning board has rendered an unfavorable decision on a land use application, an applicant has 30 days after the decision is filed to obtain judicial review of the board’s determination. In addition, the applicable statutes do not mandate that the applicant be mailed or otherwise provided with a copy of the board’s decision within any specific time frame. Accordingly, if an applicant does not carefully monitor the actions of the zoning and planning boards of the smaller towns and villages on Long Island, which meet only monthly, it is conceivable that the statute of limitations will expire before the applicant even knows that its application has been denied.
