This chapter shall be known as "

[Amended 7-9-2009 by L.L. No. 4-2009]
The Town Board, when appropriate, may, upon
submission of a written request by a property owner, temporarily waive
specific provisions of this chapter where necessary to prevent undue
hardship or an inequitable result. The Building Inspector, in an emergency
situation (e.g., water pipe leak, electrical malfunction, etc.) may
also waive specific provisions of this chapter where necessary to
prevent undue hardship or an inequitable result. The Building Inspector
shall simultaneously provide notice of all waivers to the Town Board.
