A. The Village Clerk shall direct all requests for variations from requirements herein set forth to the Zoning Board of Appeals of the Village for its report and recommendation to the President and Board of Trustees following a public hearing with regard to any such request.
B. The Zoning Board of Appeals, after a public hearing, may recommend that a given request be denied or that the President and Board of Trustees vary the regulations of this Chapter in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this Chapter, so that such requests as may be granted will not be contrary to the public interest. Furthermore, such variances may be authorized only in those specific instances involving size, shape, topography, and location upon the subject property upon which the sign is proposed to be placed, and/or the surroundings of the subject property; and then only after the said Zoning Board of Appeals has made findings of facts based upon the standards set forth in this Article, which findings indicate that, owing to specific conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this Chapter will, in such an individual case, produce practical difficulties or a particular hardship for the petitioner.
