1301.10 1301.10 d. Hearings. Upon filing with the Board of Adjustment and Appeals an appeal from a decision of the Community Development Director, or an application for a variance, the Board shall fix a reasonable time for a hearing and shall give due notice to the parties of interest as specified by law. The City shall submit by mail to the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources a copy of the application for proposed variances at least ten (10) days before the hearing. e. Decisions. The Board shall arrive at a decision on such appeal or variance within the time limits as set by State law. When approving an appeal, the Board of Adjustment and Appeals may, so long as such action meets the provisions of this Chapter, reverse or affirm, wholly or in part, or modify the order, requirement, decision or determination of the Community Development Director or other City official. The Board shall make its decision in writing setting forth the findings of fact and the reasons for its decisions. In granting a variance, the Board may require conditions and safeguards such as those specified in Section 1301.10, subdivision 4 f that meet the purposes of this Chapter. The City shall deem violations of such conditions and safeguards, when made a part of the terms under which the City grants the variance, a violation of this Chapter punishable under the provisions listed in Section 1301.12. The City shall forward by mail a copy of all decisions granting variances to the Commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources within ten (10) days of such action. f. Appeals. Applicants or property owners may make appeals from any decision of the Board as specified in the City Code or by Minnesota Statutes. g. Flood Insurance Notice and Record Keeping. The Community Development Director shall notify the applicant for a variance that: (1) Issuing a variance to construct a structure below the base flood level will result in increased premium rates for flood insurance up to amounts as high as twenty five dollars ($25.00) for one hundred dollars ($100.00) of insurance coverage; and (2) Such construction below the 100-year or regional flood level increases risks to life and property. The City shall maintain a record of such notification with a record of all variance actions. The City shall maintain a record of all variance actions, including justification for their issuance, and report such variances issued in its annual or biennial report submitted to the Administrator of the National Flood Insurance Program.
