(a) Applicants seeking a partial or complete exception granting relief from the requirements of this Article must file an application with the Director on a form provided by the Village, which application must include, without limitation, a statement certifying that compliance with this Article is impracticable due to exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the covered project.
(b) The Director may grant the exception only if the Director finds all of the following:
(1) There are exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the covered project that do not apply generally to covered projects and that make compliance with this Article impracticable;
(2) Granting the exception will not constitute a grant of special privilege inconsistent with limitations imposed on similar covered projects; and
(3) Cost to the applicant of strict compliance with this Article is not the primary reason for granting the exception. (Ord. 0-13-5, 1-22-2013)
