New Franklin Powers of the Board ordinance (§ 405.220)

The Board shall have the following powers:

1. To hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in any order, requirements, decision or determination made by the Building Inspector in the enforcement of this Title.

2. To vary the yard regulations where there is an exceptional or unusual physical condition of a lot, which condition is not generally prevalent in the neighborhood and which condition when related to the yard regulations of this Title would prevent a reasonable or sensible arrangement of buildings on the lot.

3. To modify the strict letter of the zoning ordinance to prevent undue hardship where substantial compliance may still be provided for.
