upon each question, or if absent or failing to vote, indicating such

in such ordinance.
D.
Appeals to
the board of adjustment may be taken by any person authorized to do
so under state law. Such appeal shall be filed not later than the
20th day after the date the decision is made by filing with the officer
from whom the appeal is taken and with the Board a notice of appeal
specifying the grounds thereof, and by paying a filing fee of three
dollars ($3.00) to the tax collector of the City of Archer City, Texas,
at the time the notice is filed, which shall be credited to the general
fund of the City of Archer City, Texas. The officer from whom the
appeal is taken shall immediately transmit to the board all the papers
constituting the record upon which the action appealed from was taken.
An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed
from, unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken certifies to
the board after the notice of appeal shall have been filed with him,
that by reason of facts stated in the certificate a stay would, in
his opinion, cause imminent peril to life or property. In such cases,
proceedings shall not be stayed otherwise than by a restraining order
which may be granted by the board or by a court of record on application
or notice to the officer from whom the appeal is taken and due cause
shown.
The board shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the

and decide appeals where it is alleged there is an error in any order,

When a property
owner can show that a strict application of the terms of this ordinance
relating to the use, construction or alteration of buildings or structures
or the use of land will impose upon him practical difficulties or
particular hardship, the board may consider and allow variations of
the strict application of the terms of this ordinance if the variations
are in harmony with the general purpose and intent of this ordinance,
and the board is satisfied, under the evidence heard by it, that a
granting of the variation will not merely serve as a convenience to
the applicant, but will alleviate some demonstrable hardship or difficulty
so great as to warrant a variation from the comprehensive plan by
this ordinance created.
3.
The board
may authorize a variance where, by reason of exceptional narrowness,
shallowness or shape of a specific piece of property of record at
the time of the adoption of this ordinance or by reason of exceptional
topographical conditions or other extraordinary or exceptional situation
or condition of a specific piece of property, the strict application
of a provisions of this ordinance would result in peculiar and exceptional
practical hardship upon the owner of the property and amount to a
practical confiscation of the property as distinguished from a mere
inconvenience to the owner, provided the variation can be granted
without substantial detriment to the public good and without substantially
impairing the general purpose and intent of the comprehensive plan
as established by the regulations and provisions contained in this
ordinance.
4.
Special
Exceptions:

such modification of yard, open space, lot area or lot width regulations
as may be necessary to secure an appropriate improvement of a parcel
of land if such parcel is separately owned at the time of this ordinance
or subsequent annexation of the city and is of such restricted area

(e)
To
determine in case of uncertainty the classification of any use not
specifically named in this ordinance.

or permit granted by the board of adjustment shall not be valid if
construction authorized by said permit is not begun within a period
of sixty (60) days.

In exercising the above-mentioned powers such board may, in
conformity with the provisions of this act, reverse or affirm, wholly
or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision, or determination
appealed from and may make such order, requirement, decision, or determination
as ought to be made, and to that end shall have all the powers of
the officer from whom the appeal is taken.

ordinance the board shall, before making any finding, in a specific
case, first determine that the proposed variation will not constitute
any change in the District Map and will not impair an adequate supply
of light and air to adjacent property, or materially increase the
congestion in public streets or increase the public danger of fire
and safety, or materially diminish or impair established property
values within the surrounding area, or in any other respect impair
the public health, safety, comfort, morals, and welfare of the City
of Archer City, Texas.
