  • A. 
    The Zoning Board of Appeals shall consider such matters of original jurisdiction as the Zoning Ordinance assigns specifically for its hearing and determination.
    B. 
    In addition, an applicant for a building permit who has been denied such permit by the Building Inspector on account of a failure of the applicant to comply with any provision(s) of the Harrison Zoning Ordinance shall be eligible to come before the Zoning Board of Appeals, provided that:
    (1) 
    An application to the Zoning Board of Appeals has been completely and properly filled out (including the applicant's statement of practical difficulties and unnecessary hardship, where applicable) and executed.
    (2) 
    A fee of $50 for residential property and $100 for commercial property has been paid.
    [Amended 8-19-87]
    (3)

    (4) 
    Four sets of plans and any other evidentiary material have been submitted to the Board's Secretary. The Building Department's regulations as to whether any plans, surveys, etc., must be certified in order to be eligible for the granting of a building permit shall govern the Zoning Board's criterion for eligibility. The Zoning Board may, however, subsequently require certification of material not so required by the Building Department.
