street lighting alteration or corrections needed to insure the maintenance
acceptance agreement by Commonwealth Edison Company.
Under Section 9.03 — Variations — the entire first paragraph is amended to
read as follows:
Where the Plan Commission finds that extraordinary hardships or particular
difficulties may result from the strict compliance with the ordinance, the
zoning board of appeals is hereby empowered to consider such matters after
receiving written application from the subdivider. If applicable, the zoning
board of appeals may 'recommend in writing to the city council variations or
exceptions to the regulations subject to specified conditions, so that substantial
justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variations
or exceptions shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose
of this Ordinance or the Comprehensive Plan.
Paragraph 3 of Section 9.03 — Variations — is also amended to read as the Zoning
Board of Appeals shall not recommend variations, etc. rather than the Plan Commission.
