(A) Powers shall be as prescribed by the Municipalities Planning Code, being 53 P.S. Ch. 30.
(B) To permit the following two exceptions:
(1) Use of premises for public utility and railroad purposes; provided that the Board shall find some compelling necessity for the use, and that any office, repair storage or garage uses are accessory to the main use, and providing use(s) would not be detrimental to the public welfare, would not adversely affect the adjoining property owners, would not unreasonably impair the scheme of zoning use established by the chapter, and providing that such exception, as granted, would be the minimum exception required to accomplish the purpose of the request for exception; and
(2) To permit the reconstruction of a nonconforming building which has been destroyed, or partially destroyed, by fire or Act of God where the Board shall find some compelling public necessity requiring a continuance of the nonconforming use, but in no case shall such a permit be issued if its primary function is to continue a monopoly.
