Williams said he didn't feel there would be that many people asking for this type of variance. Smith said he was a little worried about changing the ordinance. He said there was one provision there already, and it was "very tight." Smith said that if another were added, of a "tight nature," there might be more hardships occurring. Williams asked if there was permission to waive the $850. County Manager Mashburn said the waiver question had never been asked. Attorney Pope said he thought there could be a hardship fee waiver.

Commissioner Madison asked if the matter had to be presented to the planning board. Smith said a zoning amendment would have to be presented to the planning board in accordance with the bylaws and the county's ordinance.
