§ 105-219. Notice of appeal; hearing; determination.

The Board of Appeals shall fix a reasonable time for the hearing of the appeal and give due notice to the parties and decide the same within a reasonable time. Upon the hearing, any party may appear in person or by agent or by attorney. The Board of Appeals may reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or may modify the order, requirement, decision or determination appealed from and shall make such order, requirement, decision or determination as, in its opinion, ought to be made in the premises and, to that end, shall have all the powers of the Building Inspector or any other administrative official from whom the appeal is taken. Where there are practical difficulties or unnecessary hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of such ordinance, the Board of Appeals shall have the power in passing upon the appeals to vary or modify the application of any of the regulations or provisions of such ordinance relating to the use, construction or alteration of buildings or structures or the use of land, so that the spirit of the ordinance shall be observed, public safety and welfare secured and substantial justice done.
