18-4-1 Requests for hardship, variance or relief: Any request for hardship, variance or relief of administrative determination in the
WMD must acknowledge the existence of the watershed, the study identifying its sensitive
characteristics and Article 8C of this Zoning Ordinance which establishes the regulations for management of watershed
resources. A grant of hardship or relief shall not be made without assessing the public
benefits and prospective watershed impacts of the request and determining that, in
fact the public interest would not be compromised.
18-4-2 Method of development: In addition, wherever practical, the style or method of development in the WMD shall
be required to represent the best water quality results obtainable. Therefore, variances
and appeals should reflect this intent and not result in a development approach that
will deteriorate water quality or compromise watershed resources in relation to either
pre-development or prevariance standards.
