93-47. Variance

Under special circumstances on a case-by-case basis, the Authority and/or the County may deviate from the
terms of this Part 2 for undue hardship by motion duly passed acting in formal session. For those variances
affecting the water system, approval by the County Board of Commissioners shall be required. For those
variances affecting the water system owned by the city and maintained and operated by the Authority,
approval by the Authority shall be required in accordance with the Authority Policies. Variances affecting
both the water system and the water system owned by the city and maintained and operated by the
Authority shall require the approval of both the County Board of Commissioners and the Authority. In
every case, application for a variance shall be submitted to the Utilities Director, who shall seek comments
from the Authority Director and shall then present the application to the County Board of Commissioners.
(If comments are not received from the Authority Director within a reasonable time, the Utilities Director
may submit such application to the County Board of Commissioners without such comments.) The County
Board of Commissioners shall determine whether such a variance should be granted (if affecting the water
system) and/or submitted to the Authority for approval (if affecting the water system owned by the city and
maintained and operated by the Authority).
