§ 419-6. Variance.  


Latest version.
  • A. 
    If there is a practical difficulty or particular hardship in carrying out the provisions of this chapter, the applicant may obtain a variance through application. A variance shall require approval of both the Zoning Administrator and the Director of Public Works and may only be granted when the applicant can successfully demonstrate that:
    (1) 
    The additional access would not compromise the safety of Village roadway users or the operation of the Village roadway.
    (2) 
    Allowing only one access for the parcel would conflict with established local safety regulations.
    (3) 
    The additional access would not be detrimental to the public health and safety.
    (4) 
    The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to make more money out of the property.
    (5) 
    The conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought, and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification.
    (6) 
    The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this chapter and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the property.
    B. 
    Any variance denied by Village staff may be appealed to the Village Board.
