[R.O. 2011 §405.185; Ord. No. 10-6 §1, 3-8-2010]
If the HPC denies an application for a certificate of appropriateness, the HPC shall work with the applicant to arrive at a mutually satisfactory alternative to the proposed activities. If agreement cannot be reached within six (6) months, the applicant may file with the City Clerk a written appeal to the Board of Adjustment. In acting upon the appeal, the Board may grant a variance from the strict interpretation of this Chapter when such will not materially affect the health or safety of the applicant and general public.
