The administrative variance committee shall render its decision either approving or
approving with conditions any request for an administrative variance. A majority of
the quorum of the committee members must vote affirmatively for any request to be
approved or approved with conditions. If less than a majority votes for approval,
the property owner shall be informed of the owner's right to proceed de novo before
the planning and zoning board, as final decision maker or as recommending body, if
applicable, upon application duly made. If the property owner requesting the administrative
variance objects to the committee's decision to approve with conditions, the property
owner shall be informed of the owner's right to proceed de novo before the planning
and zoning board, as final decision maker or as recommending body, if applicable,
upon application duly made. If a property owner in the area affected by the decision
objects to the decision of the committee, the property owner requesting the administrative
variance shall be informed of the owner's right to proceed de novo before the planning
and zoning board, as final decision maker or as recommending body, if applicable,
upon application duly made, provided the objection is received in writing within 14
calendar days of the date of publication of the decision of the committee. A copy
of the decision shall be published in a newspaper of general circulation. All approvals
or approvals with conditions shall not be effective until 15 days after the committee's
decision has been published.
