Article 2: Procedures 9 <br />Section 2.10: Variances <br />(3) Variances shall only be issued upon: <br />(a) A showing of good and sufficient cause; <br />(b) A determination that failure to grant the variance would result in <br />exceptional hardship; <br />(c) A determination that the granting of a variance will not result in increased <br />flood heights, additional threats to public safety, or extraordinary public <br />expense, create nuisance, cause fraud on or victimization of the public, <br />or conflict with existing local laws or ordinances; and, <br />(d) That the circumstances on the subject property are unique to the subject <br />property and not to properties in general. <br />(G) Any applicant to whom a variance is granted shall be given written notice specifying the <br />difference between the Base Flood Elevation (BFE) and the elevation to which the <br />structure is to be built and a written statement that the cost of flood insurance will be <br />commensurate with the increased risk resulting from the reduced reference level <br />elevation. Such notification shall be maintained with a record of all variance actions. <br />(H) The Floodplain Administrator shall maintain the records of all appeal actions and report <br />any variances to the FEMA and the State of North Carolina upon request. <br />2.10.5 Additional Criteria for Authorized Variances — Watershed Protection Overlay District <br />(A) Minor variances for dimensional requirements of the Watershed Protection Overlay <br />District may be approved by the Board of Adjustment in accordance with Section 2.12 of <br />this Ordinance. <br />(B) The Board of Adjustment may approve variance applications to allow the use of off -site <br />septic easements for lots created before January 1, 1994, and for non - conforming lots of <br />record. <br />(C) A description of each project receiving a variance and the reason for granting the <br />variance shall be submitted for each calendar year to the Division of Water Quality on or <br />before January 1st of the following year. <br />(D) All other local governments having jurisdiction within the watershed area and the entity <br />using the water supply for consumption shall be notified of the variance application at <br />least 15 days prior to action on the application. The Planning Department shall notify <br />other local governments via first class mail. <br />(E) Modifications of the Impervious Surface Ratio <br />Modifications of the Impervious Surface Ratios may be requested through one of the <br />following provisions: <br />(1) Through variance procedures of the Board of Adjustment, as described in this <br />subsection (2.10.5). <br />(2) Through approval and recordation of a conservation agreement, as provided in <br />Article 4 of Chapter 121 of the N.C. General Statutes, between Orange County <br />and a land owner that prohibits development of land in a protected watershed in <br />perpetuity. <br />(a) In such cases, a modification of the required impervious surface ratios <br />may be approved administratively but only to the extent that additional <br />land in the same watershed is conserved or protected from development. <br />In such instances, the land that will be subject to a conservation <br />agreement must be adjacent to the land proposed for development and <br />for which a modification of the impervious surface ratios is sought. <br />Orange County, North Carolina — Unified Development Ordinance Page 2 -33 <br />
