seasonal purposes.

Board of Adjustment may grant or deny any application for a special
exception permit following the policy hereafter set forth. An applicant
denied a permit may make application for a hearing before the Board
of Aldermen. The Board of Aldermen may reverse the decision of the
Board of Adjustment if a three-fourths (¾) majority of the

protection of the public interest.
