Whenever, within one year after granting the variance the work as permitted by <br /> this variance shall not have been completed, then this variance shall become null <br /> and void, unless a petition for extension of time in which to complete the work has <br /> been granted by the Board of Adjustment and Appeals. <br /> Adopted this 10th day of July, 1996. <br /> ATTEST: <br /> Chair Peterson <br /> (SEAL) <br /> • <br /> Acting Community Development Director <br />
