(A) In the event that circumstances uniquely applicable to a particular parcel of property causes compliance with a requirement of this chapter to be a hardship on the property owner, the Town Council (Board of Trustees) may grant the property owner a variance from the requirement.
(B) Variances from requirements of this chapter may only be granted by the Town Council upon a determination that the following conditions apply:
(1) The grant will not be injurious to public health and safety;
(2) The grant will not cause harm to the town’s sewer system and its effective operation;
(3) The grant will not violate any Federal or State law, rule or regulation;
(4) The grant will not adversely affect the revenues pledged to any outstanding sewage works revenue bonds;
(5) The use or value of the area adjacent to the property included in the variance will not be adversely affected;
(6) The need for the variance arises from some condition peculiar to the property involved;
(7) The strict application of the terms of this chapter will constitute an unusual and unnecessary hardship as applied to property for which the variance is sought.
(C) The Town Council may impose restrictions on variances from this chapter that it grants. If the Town Council determines that the restrictions have not been followed, the Town Council may revoke the variance. If without the variance a violation of the chapter exists, the town may undertake enforcement of this chapter against the owner of the property for which the variance has been revoked.
