(A) Standards. Variances from these standards, provisions, and specifications may be granted when it is demonstrated to the satisfaction of the SWAC (Stormwater Advisory Committee) that, owing to special conditions, a strict adherence to the provisions of this chapter will result in unnecessary hardship and that the spirit and intent of the chapter will be observed.
(B) Fee. The fee for a variance hearing is $335. Three hundred dollars for the variance hearing and $35 for publication.
(C) Procedure.
(1) A written request for variance shall be filed by the owner, seeking to develop or change the use of his or her property, or his agent with the Stormwater Manager and shall state specifically what variance is sought and the public’s interest in granting the variance. The applicant must specify hardship to result in following the prescribed regulations. The Stormwater Manager must then examine and decides the validity of the proposed hardships. This request is then submitted to the SWAC by the Stormwater Manger along with a recommendation about granting the variance.
(2) The variance will be granted only upon showing that there is good and sufficient cause and that the failure to grant a variance would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant. Financial hardships to the property owners do not constitute operator appropriate grounds for a variance under this chapter.
