11-1-5: VARIATIONS:
   A.   In cases where there are particular difficulties or peculiar hardships in carrying out the literal provisions of this title, the planning and zoning commission may recommend to the board of trustees that a variation from such provisions be granted.
   B.   Such planning and zoning commission's recommendations and reasons for recommending such variation shall be made in writing, setting forth all pertinent facts and circumstances of the case. Such recommendation may be made by referring the variation matter to the board of trustees before the planning and zoning commission makes any further consideration of or takes any further action on the subdivision application in question; or such recommendation may be made at the same time that the planning and zoning commission recommends action on the entire subdivision application.
   C.   The president and the board of trustees shall not approve any such recommendation which will not be in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the provisions of this title and the official plan and map. (Ord. 89-04, 4-3-1989)
