   2. An application for a variation shall be filed in writing with the ZEO. The application shall contain such information as the Zoning Board of Appeals may, by rule, require.

The published notice may be supplemented by such additional form of notice as the Zoning Board of Appeals, by rule, may require.
   3. The Zoning Board of Appeals shall not vary the regulations of this Title, as authorized by this Section, unless it shall first make findings of fact based upon the evidence presented to it in each specific case that:
      1. Because of the particular physical surroundings, shape, or topographical conditions of the specific property involved, a particular hardship to the owner would result, as distinguished from a mere inconvenience, if the strict letter of the regulations were to be carried out;
      2. The conditions upon which a petition for a variation is based are unique to the property for which the variance is sought and are not applicable, generally, to other property within the same zoning classification;
      3. The purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire for financial gain;
      4. The alleged difficulty or hardship is caused by this Title and has not been created by any persons presently having an interest in the property;

      7.

      3. Any conditions which renders the property less desirable or inappropriate for the uses to which it is presently zoned; and
      4. The zoning amendment, if granted, serves the public interest and does not solely benefit the property of the applicant alone.

      The Village Board may establish a fee to be charged each person desiring a copy of such map. Such fee shall be paid to the ZEO who shall account for such moneys. Such fees shall be applied to defray the cost of publishing the zoning map.

   1. Applications for special use may be filed by any person having a freehold interest in land or a possessory interest entitled to exclusive possession (with the concurrence of the person holding the freehold interest), or a contractual interest which may become a freehold interest, or an exclusive possessory interest which is specifically enforceable.
   2. An application for a special use permit shall be obtained from and filed with the ZEO. Such application for a special use permit shall be in a form so that the application, when complete, including required accompanying material, shall provide such information as required by the Plan Commission for its review. The accompanying material shall include a written statement signed by the applicant as to how the standards for the granting of the special use permit are met. These standards shall include:
      1. That the proposed use will not adversely affect other property developed or able to be developed to the uses already permitted;
      2. That adequate utilities, access roads, drainage, and other necessary supporting facilities have been or are being provided;
      3. That adequate measures have been provided to accommodate ingress and egress so as to avoid congestion, not unduly impede surrounding traffic flows, or create hazardous or unsafe conditions;
      4. That the standards for site development, including landscaping, will be such as to enhance the proposed use and its setting, screen or so locate parking, loading, storage, and less attractive accessory uses away from public view, and to otherwise complement the visual appearance of the area in which the proposed project is to be located. The applicant may offer or the Plan Commission may require a site development and landscape and screening plan as part of the applicant's written statement; and
      5. That the proposed special use, if permitted, will conform to all other requirements of the district in which it is to be located or if not conforming, a listing of necessary variations which will be required subsequent to the granting of the special use permit by the Village Board.
   3. Once the special use application has been filed with the ZEO, the ZEO shall arrange proper legal notice as required by law and schedule the public hearing for the next regular Plan Commission meeting which fulfills the minimum public notice requirements.
   4. The Plan Commission shall hold a public hearing on the proposed special use at the time and place scheduled in the public notice. The hearing shall be conducted and a record of the proceedings preserved in the manner as from time to time prescribed by the Commission.
   5. The Plan Commission, in its recommendation to the Village Board for the granting of a special use permit, may attach any conditions to its recommendation it feels appropriate to better meet the above standards specified for its review and recommendation relative to the granting of a special use permit.
   6. Within forty five (45) days of the close of the hearing on the proposed special use, the Plan Commission shall make its recommendation to the Village Board attaching the applicant's signed statement and any other conditions suggested by the Plan Commission. The Village Board may grant or deny the special use permit and may modify or attach any additional conditions to which the proposed special use would be subject.
      
   7. The granting of a special use by the Village Board shall constitute authorization for the ZEO to issue zoning permit(s) for the proposed use subject to any conditions imposed in the granting.
   8. Special uses approved by the Village Board shall be designated on the Zoning Map by a symbol. Failure of the applicant or other subsequent person, individual, firm, or corporation continuing the special use, from continually maintaining the use in a manner complying with the conditions under which the use was granted, shall constitute a zoning violation subject to the penalties of this Title.⁴
      
      In the event of termination of a special use, permitted uses under the applicable zoning classification shall be the only uses allowed and for which subsequent building permits or use permits may be issued. (Ord. 78-31, 3-5-79)
   9. If a special use is not initiated within three hundred sixty five (365) days from the time it is granted, it shall be deemed to be terminated, and in such case, permitted uses under the applicable zoning classification shall be the only uses allowed and for which subsequent building permits or use permits may be issued.
      1. This Subsection shall be effective on April 19, 1993. All special uses granted subsequent to the aforesaid date shall be subject to the aforesaid three hundred sixty five (365) day limit. All special uses granted prior to April 19, 1993, shall be initiated by July 1, 1994, and they are not eligible for any extension. If they are not initiated by July 1, 1994, they shall be deemed terminated.
      2. If, due to extenuating circumstances, and for good cause shown, a person, firm, or corporation who was previously granted a special use (except those granted prior to April 19, 1993) has failed to commence same within the applicable time limit, then the owner of the special use may petition the Village Board for an extension of up to an additional three hundred sixty five (365) days. Said petition must be filed within the original time limit, and the Village Board may in its sole discretion elect to extend the expiration date. (Ord. 92-36, 4-19-93)
