Upon the filing of any application, the Village
Clerk shall arrange for a time and place at which the Planning Board
will meet to consider the application and shall cause notice of such

He shall also cause notice of such application to be served either
personally or by mail upon the owners or occupants of all property
shown upon any such map, plat or plan and any other property lying

shall be presented of the reasons for such deviations and exceptions
shall be granted by the Board only in cases of unnecessary hardship
and in conformity with the general purpose of the Master Plan of the
Village.
