§ 3-70. Variances.  


Latest version.
  • Any person desiring to erect any structure or increase the height of any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use his property in violation of these regulations may apply to the board of adjustment for a variance from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances shall be allowed where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted would not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and be in accordance with the spirit of these regulations; provided that any variances allowed shall be subject to any reasonable conditions that the board of adjustment may deem necessary to effectuate the purposes of these regulations.
