The Board of Zoning Appeals shall have the following powers:
(a) To hear and decide appeals wherein it is alleged there is error in any order, requirement, decision or determination made by the Zoning Inspector in the enforcement of the zoning laws or of the Zoning Ordinance, or any amendments thereto.
(b) To authorize, upon appeal and in specific cases, such variance from the terms of the Zoning Ordinance as will not be contrary to the public interest, wherein owing to special conditions a literal enforcement of the provisions of the Zoning Ordinance, or any amendments thereto, will create unnecessary hardship to a particular property or result in a practical difficulty, and so that the spirit of the Zoning Ordinance will be observed and substantial justice done.
(c) In exercising the above powers mentioned, the Board, in conformity with the provisions of law and the Zoning Ordinance, and any amendments thereto, by a favorable vote of at least a majority of the members of the Board, may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and may make such order, decision, requirement or determination as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all powers of the officer from whom the appeal is taken.
