(A) The Board of Adjustment shall be that authorized, established and appointed body responsible for hearing appeals and requests for variance.
(B) Normal procedures, rules and processes established for the Board of Adjustment shall apply.
(C) The duties of the Board of Adjustment shall be to:
(1) Consider and determine appeals whenever it is claimed that the true intent and meaning of this chapter or any of the regulations hereunder have been misconstrued or wrongly interpreted or applied by the Code Administrator or the Administrator's representative.
(2) Grant, in cases where the application of the requirement of this code in the allowance of the stated time for the performance of any action required hereunder would appear to cause undue hardship on an owner, reasonable extensions of time not to exceed six months from date of the notice. No subsequent appeal shall be considered where an appeal has been previously decided involving the same building or premises and the same citation, unless the appellant can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Board a change in circumstances sufficient to justify reopening the appeal.
(D) All decisions of the Board of Adjustment which vary the application of any provision of this chapter or modify an order of the Administrator shall specify in what manner the variance or modification is to be made, the conditions under which it may be made and the reasons therefor. Every decision shall be in writing, and a copy of all decisions shall be promptly filed in the office of the Code Administrator, and it shall be open to public inspection.
