The board is empowered to modify the strict requirements of zoning adding flexibility to land use regulations through the exercise of administrative discretion concerning the unique aspects of a given lot, home location, or project.
Variances to zoning regulations are granted when exceptional or unique physical conditions create practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship depriving the owner of reasonable use of the land.
Authority is granted in Section 100-93 of the Town Code to interpret the Zoning regulations. In doing so, information is gathered and input accepted from the public and adjacent land owners to assure that providing relief to the hardship does not diminish the value of adjoining property, public health, safety or harmony with the surrounding community.
