§ 4:24-32.
Any landowner may file a petition with the board of adjustment alleging that there
are great practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship in the way of his carrying
out upon his lands the strict letter of the land-use regulations approved by the supervisors,
and praying the board to authorize a variance from the terms of the land-use regulations
in the application of such regulations to the lands of the petitioner. Copies of such petition shall be served by the petitioner upon the chairman of the
supervisors of the district within which his lands are located and upon the chairman
of the state soil conservation committee. The board of adjustment shall fix a time for the hearing of the petition and cause
due notice to be given. The supervisors of the district and the state soil conservation committee shall
have the right to appear and be heard at such hearing. Any owner of lands lying within the district who shall object to the authorizing
of the variance prayed for may intervene and become a party to the proceedings. Any party to the hearing before the board may appear in person, by agent, or by
attorney. If, upon the facts presented at such hearing, the board shall determine that there
are great practical difficulties or unnecessary hardship in the way of applying the
strict letter of any of the land-use regulations upon the lands of the petitioner,
it shall make and record such determination and shall make and record findings of
fact as to the specific conditions which establish such great practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardship. Upon the basis of such findings and determination, the board shall have power by
order to authorize such variance from the terms of the land-use regulations, in their
application to the lands of the petitioner, as will relieve such great practical difficulties
or unnecessary hardship and will not be contrary to the public interest, and such
that the spirit of the land-use regulations shall be observed, the public health,
safety, or welfare secured, and substantial justice done.
