§ 27-10. Authority.

The hearing examiner shall have the authority to grant a variance from the provisions of this chapter when such variance will not be contrary to the public interest and when a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in an unnecessary and undue hardship. In granting a variance, the hearing examiner may prescribe appropriate conditions and safeguards that are deemed necessary to protect the environment, health, safety and welfare. Violation of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the variance is granted, shall be deemed a violation of this chapter.
