A person shall have the right to appeal a decision of the building official to the board of appeals as set forth in the codes or, if the codes do not specifically provide for the right of appeal, in any case where the person claims that the provisions of the codes have been incorrectly interpreted, do not fully apply, an equally good or better form of construction is proposed, or that an undue hardship would occur if the codes were strictly applied and the variance requested would not adversely impact the safety of the occupants, neighbors, property or city in general. [Code 2004 § 7-1-8; Ord. 18-08 § 1; Res. 18-23.]
