(a) The Mayor shall have the authority to grant special variances to the provisions of this Chapter.
(b) The person desiring the variance shall submit a request, in writing, to the Mayor. The request shall include the source of sound, the reason the variance is needed, the length of time the variance is needed and any other information the Mayor deems necessary.
(c) The Mayor shall notify any persons he feels would be adversely affected by the variance. Those persons may state their objection in writing to the Mayor. In determining whether to grant or deny the variance, the mayor shall balance the hardship to the applicant, the community and other persons of not granting the special variance against the adverse impact on the health, safety and welfare of persona affected, the adverse impact on property affected and any other adverse impacts of granting the special variance.
(d) The Mayor has the authority to grant the variance, grant the variance with conditions, or deny the variance. The variance is not in affect until all conditions are met, and becomes void if and when any condition is not adhered to. Applicants for special variances and persons contesting special variances may appeal the Mayor's decision to the Board of Zoning Appeals.
