<br />From Section 16.02, Subsection 3, you, as a Board, can see that you have
<br />
<br />been limited by Ordinance 95 as to what exceptions and what variances you may
<br />
<br />grant. You will note, therefore, that this section gives you, the Board, specific
<br />
<br />,.
<br />
<br />. power to grant a permit of an exception only in these four areas, subject to your
<br />1.~
<br />~
<br />~~ conditions and limitations in Section 16.02, 1 and 2. It is my opinion that in
<br />,
<br />\~'6ection 16.02, Subsection 3, that the beginning paragraph which states, "Upon
<br />',~'t~
<br />,I.. .
<br />'~ appeal the Board is hereby empowered to permit the following exceptions and var-
<br />~.~
