§ 154.050  CONDITIONS FOR VARIANCE.
   (A)   Upon consideration of the factors listed above and the purposes of this chapter, the Board of Alderpersons may attach the conditions to the granting of variances as it deems necessary to further the purposes of this chapter.
   (B)   (1) Variances shall only be issued upon a determination that the variance is the minimum necessary, considering the flood hazard, to afford relief.
      (2)   Variances shall only be issued upon a showing of good and sufficient cause,  a determination that failure to grant the variance would result in exceptional hardship, and a determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased flood heights, additional threats to public safety, extraordinary public expense, create nuisances, cause fraud on or victimization of the public or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances.
      (3)   Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice specifying the difference between the base flood elevation and the elevation to which the structure is to be built and a written statement that the cost of flood insurance will be commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced lowest floor elevation. The notification shall be maintained with a record of all variance actions.
      (4)   The Zoning Administrator shall maintain the records of all actions and report any variances to the Federal Emergency Management Agency upon request.
