In the event any property owner or his agent can clearly demonstrate

question the literal enforcement of one or more of the requirements
of this chapter is or are impracticable or will exact undue hardship,
the Board may permit a reasonable relaxation thereof within the general
purpose and intent of this chapter. Applications for a relaxation
of requirements shall be made to the Board in writing, setting forth
in detail the reasons therefor, and the applicant shall be afforded
an opportunity to be heard. No relaxation of requirements shall be
granted unless the applicant establishes and the Board specifically
finds:
a.
That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property such that the strict application of the provisions of this
chapter would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the premises
in question.
b.
That the relaxation of requirements is necessary for the preservation
and enjoyment of a substantial property right.
c.
That the relaxation of the requirement requested will not be detrimental
to the public welfare or injurious to property in the area in which
the property is situated.
In granting a relaxation of requirements, the Board may impose
conditions it deems reasonably necessary.
[Ord. No. BH:30A § 7]
Any owner who shall not comply with an order or notice issued pursuant to the authority of this chapter shall be subject to the penalty stated in Chapter BHI, Section BH1-2. Each day of delay after expiration of the ninety-day notice as provided above shall constitute a separate violation.
