(1) Applicants may seek relief from specific dimensional requirements of the By-laws. A variance Submission may stand as a separate component or as a component within a Unified Permit. In either case, the DEC must consider and vote on the variance separately and must do so before voting on the Submission. A Permit shall not be granted if a required variance has not been approved.
The grounds for granting a variance are as follows:
(2) A Majority Vote of the Full Membership. Seven votes is required for the granting of a variance. A variance must be exercised within one year of its granting, unless an extension for one six month period is allowed by the DEC for good cause and upon receipt of a written extension request from the Applicant. If authorized by the DEC, such extensions may be granted by the Director. See By-laws, Article IV, Section A for additional requirements for variances
