§ 10-3-4-4 VARIANCES.
   (A)   Excepting §§ 10-3-2-3 and 10-3-2-9, the Enforcement Authority may grant an individual variance from the limitations prescribed in this article whenever the Enforcement Authority finds upon presentation of adequate proof that:
      (1)   Compliance with that specific part of this article will impose an unreasonable burden or hardship upon the pool owner or user; and
      (2)   Granting of the variance will not result in a condition hazardous to the public health, safety or welfare.
   (B)   Any person seeking a variance shall do so in writing, setting forth his or her reasons for the variance and stating the length of time for which they seek the variance. The Enforcement Authority shall promptly investigate the request and make a determination as to the disposition thereof.

      (2)   The Enforcement Authority may void a variance if subsequent events show that the variance has created or may create a condition hazardous to the public health, safety or welfare.
      (3)   An approved variance shall be void if it is utilized in a way materially in violation of the terms of the variance. Voiding a variance is in addition to and not instead of other remedies available to the city at any time for violation of this article.
