1115.04 GUIDELINES FOR GRANTING VARIANCES.
   The specific powers and duties of the Board of Zoning Appeals, which are described in Section 1115.05, are intended to assist in carrying out the purposes of this Zoning Code. In exercising its authority to grant variances of this Zoning Code in individual cases which may be subject to unusual hardship, the Board shall be guided by the following policies:
   (a)    Every property owner shall be permitted to enjoy some reasonable use of his land.
   (b)    The intent and purpose of this Zoning Code shall be adhered to in all decisions on matters coming before the Board.
   (c)    Decisions of the Board may not assume legislative authority by having the effect of changing the meaning of the text of this Zoning Code or of changing the Zoning Map.
   (d)    A lack of opportunity to obtain a maximum profit from the sale of property does not itself constitute grounds for relief by action of the Board.
   (e)    Personal relationships in the use and ownership of property are of relatively brief duration and do not belong in considerations of long term improvement of and protection to the community.
