Application for appeal may be made in writing when it is claimed that the true intent of this chapter or the rules legally adopted thereunder have been incorrectly interpreted, the provisions of this chapter do not fully apply or special hardship exists, in which cases the Council may waive or modify the provisions of this chapter as long as it is in the public interest to do so.

Any person whose application has been refused may appeal to the Council from the decision of the Code Official, provided that no appeal shall be allowed unless taken within 30 days from the date of refusal. The Council may, when hardship is shown, modify provisions of this chapter, provided that it is in the public interest to do so.
