§ 52.50 VARIANCES.
   Any person, upon written application to the City Manager’s office within 90 days after the effective date of the subchapter, as amended, who shows, in the case of the activity being conducted or operated, that compliance with § 52.42 would either be impossible or constitute an undue hardship because of time limitations, may be granted a variance by the city manager for a reasonable time, not to extend beyond 2 years from the effective date of this subchapter, as amended, at which date all variances shall terminate and after which date no new variances will be granted. Any variance granted by the City Manager within 6 months from the date of the granting of the variance shall make reports to the city manager periodically as to the progress being made toward compliance with § 52.42. A variance shall not be granted under the provisions of this section where a person applying therefor is causing a public nuisance or other injury to the general public, or is subject to a National Categorical Standard, and any such variances shown to have been granted under these circumstances shall be immediately terminated. Any variance granted under the provisions of this section shall not be construed to relieve the person who shall receive it from any liability or penalties imposed by other law for the commission or maintenance of a nuisance.
