   3. vary or adjust the strict application of any of the requirements of any ordinance adopted pursuant to W.S. §§ 15-1-601 through 15-1-611, 1977, as amended, in the case of an irregular, narrow, shallow or steep lot or other physical conditions applying to a lot or building as a result of which strict application would result in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship that would deprive the owner of the reasonable use of the land or building involved. No adjustment in the strict application of any provision of any such ordinance may be granted unless:
      1. there are special circumstances or conditions, fully described in the Board’s findings, which are peculiar to the land or building for which the adjustment is sought and do not apply generally to land or building in the neighborhood, and have not resulted from any act of the applicant subsequent to the adoption of the ordinance.
      2. for reasons fully set forth in the Board’s findings, the circumstances or conditions are such that the strict application of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of land or building and the granting of the adjustment is necessary for the reasonable use thereof and the adjustment, as granted, is the minimum adjustment that will accomplish this purpose.
   4. grant exceptions and variances upon request after a showing that an illegal construction or a non-conforming building or use existed for a period of at least five (5) years in violation of location ordinance and the Town has not taken steps toward enforcement.
   5. reverse or affirm, wholly or partly, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination of the administrative authority as necessary.

The officer for whom the appeal is taken shall immediately transmit to the Board the complete record of the action from which the appeal is taken.
4. An appeal stays all proceedings in furtherance of the action appealed from unless the officer from whom the appeal is taken specifies to the Board that by reason of facts stated in the Certificate of Stay, in his opinion, would cause imminent peril to life or property.

6. Each appeal, when filed in the proper form with the required data, shall be numbered serially and shall be placed upon the calendar of the Board of Adjustment by the Chairman thereof.

Appeals shall be assigned for hearing in the order in which they appear on the calendar thereof, except that an appeal may be advanced for hearing by order of the Board upon good cause being shown. A legal notice of each hearing shall be published in the official newspaper of the Town at least twenty (20) days before the date set for the meeting.
