C. Any person seeking a waiver shall indicate in his application to the City Manager the specific reason why he should not be required to meet the established ordinance criteria. The applicant shall also include a written statement that he has personally contacted all residents and owners of properties within four hundred feet (400') of the property in question and none oppose the waiver being requested.
D. In determining whether to grant or deny the application, the City Manager shall balance the hardship to the applicant, the community and other persons of not granting the waiver against the potential adverse impact on the animals and residents affected.

The waiver shall not become effective until all conditions are agreed to by the applicant.
