A.
The Coventry Zoning Board of Review shall hear and decide appeals
when it is alleged that there is an error in any requirement, decision
or determination made by the Code Enforcement Officer in the enforcement
or administration of this chapter.
B.
In passing on such appeals, the Zoning Board of Review shall consider
all technical evaluations, all relevant factors, standards specified
in this chapter and the requirements set forth in Title 44, Code of
Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 59 and 60 as relates to the National
Flood Insurance Program Floodplain Management Regulations. Relevant
factors include: the danger that materials may be swept onto other
lands to the injury of others; the danger to life and property caused
by flooding or soil erosion; the susceptibility of the proposed facility
and its contents to flood damage; the availability of alternative
locations for the proposed use which are not subject to flooding or
erosion damage; the safety of access to the property during floods
for emergency personnel and vehicles.
C.
Variances shall not be issued within any designated floodway. Any
variance granted shall afford the minimum relief necessary considering
the flood hazard and upon a showing that failure to grant the variance
would result in exceptional hardship to the applicant and would not
increase threats to public safety or conflict with other existing
local regulations or ordinances.
D.
An appeal of a decision by the Zoning Board of Review may be taken
pursuant to the provisions of R.I.G.L. § 45-24-69.
