Because of special characteristics of particular properties
in the Village, the literal application of the general provisions
of this chapter may in certain instances create hardships not intended
by these regulations. The Village Board may accordingly grant variances
from the literal application of the provisions of this chapter based
on findings of fact as provided in this article.
Variances shall be approved only in conformance with the approval process provided in § 156-27 and the approval criteria in Table 25.[1]

Editor's Note: Table 25 is included as an attachment to this chapter.

Editor's Note: Former § 156-252, Minor variances,
as amended, was repealed 7-27-2016 by Ord. No. 16-16.
Variances as provided herein shall be considered the same as
variations provided under state statute. Lawful variations granted
to a property prior to the effective date of this chapter shall be
considered lawful variances without the need for approval of a variance
hereunder; except that where such a variation is not needed under
this chapter, variance status shall not be applicable.
[Added 5-12-2003 by Ord. No. 03-21]
Any construction permitted by a variance approved in accordance
with the provisions of this chapter must be completed within 12 months
after the date of approval by the Village Board. If the construction
is not so completed, any variance granted shall be deemed null and
void.
