Hardship. The Special Districts Administrator may grant all exemption for hardship where the requirements of this ordinance would cause an unnecessary and undue substantial hardship upon the owner, or purchaser of the facility, or the public. Substantial hardship may include, but is not limited to:

(1)

Plumbing in an existing facility which does not match connections with low water-using plumbing fixtures and would, therefore, require partial replumbing of the structures, (for example, different rough-in dimensions).

(2)

Unavailability of low water-using plumbing fixtures to match a well-defined historic architectural style (for example, Victorian, Mission Revival) in a locally, state or federally recognized building of historic significance, fitted with original plumbing fixtures.

(b)

Emergency. The Special Districts Administrator may grant an exemption for emergency purposes when the requirements of this ordinance would create a condition affecting the health, sanitation, fire protection or safety of the facility owner or the public. Emergency conditions include, but are not limited to, sewer line grades that are insufficient to accommodate reduced flows caused by conversion of toilet(s) to 1.6 gallon flush as determined by the Special Districts Administrator or appropriate city or county engineer.

(c)

In Lieu Compliance. The Special Districts Administrator may grant an exemption by imposing reasonable conditions in lieu of compliance with the requirements of this ordinance, where the conditions would not allow the quantity of water consumed by the facility to exceed the total water demand achieved if the low water-use plumbing fixture standards set by this ordinance has been used, and would not otherwise adversely affect service to any existing water consumer.

(Ord. No. 2291, § VI, 8-10-95)

The Board will not accept an appeal stated in generalities.

(b)

Acceptance of Appeal. An optional form for giving notice of appeal shall be provided by the Special Districts Administrator. The form need not be used if the notice of appeal is complete. An appeal shall not be accepted by the Clerk of the Board of Directors unless it is complete and complies with all requirements. The Clerk of the Board of Directors shall not accept a notice of appeal if it is obvious on the face of the notice that it is incomplete. If the Clerk of the Board of Directors rejects a notice of appeal, he/she shall inform the appellant of the nature of the deficiency, and shall identify the information necessary to complete the appeal.
