(620 ILCS 25/24) (from Ch. 15 1/2, par. 48.24)
Sec. 24.
Variances.
Any person desiring to erect any structure, or increase the height of
any structure, or permit the growth of any tree, or otherwise use his
property in violation of airport zoning regulations adopted under this
Act, may apply to the Department, when it has prescribed said
regulations, and in other cases, to the Board of Appeals, for a variance
from the zoning regulations in question. Such variances shall be allowed
where a literal application or enforcement of the regulations would result
in practical difficulty or unnecessary hardship and the relief granted
would not be contrary to the public interest but do substantial justice and
be in accordance with the spirit of the regulations and this Act; Provided,
That any variance may be allowed subject to any reasonable conditions that
the Department or the Board of Appeals, as the case may be, may deem
necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Act. Nothing in this section
authorizes the allowance of any variation which will conflict with any
zoning ordinance or regulation of any political subdivision, except such as
is adopted exclusively for airport zoning.
