§ 156.017 VARIANCES.

      (2)   Such variances shall be considered at the next regular meeting held by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals.
      (3)   The plans for such development shall include any covenants, restrictions or other legal provisions necessary to guarantee the full achievement of the proposed plat.
      (4)   Any variance or modifications thus granted shall be recorded and entered in the minutes setting forth the reasons for granting the variance.
