Board

Note to

Section 611.130 (g) (2), Section

142.65(a)(2), this section uses the

word “variance”.

In the State’s Variance and Exemption rule, the word relief is used in place of

Variance and Exemption.

We are not sure if the State intends to use the word “Variance” or the

word “Relief’ in section.

These terms are not defined in the definition section.
