    CONCURRING OPINION
    (by Chairman Dumelle):
    My reason for granting this variance has
    a different
    emphasis than the majority Board Opinion.
    That Opinion
    puts emphasis on reliance first and diminishes
    the
    threatened
    loss of Federal
    funds.
    I would reverse that ranking.
    A threatened denial
    of
    funds
    is
    a
    real menace to the entire project.
    Many federally—
    funded projects take three years or more
    to
    develop a firm
    grant offer.
    In these days of tight budgets, a delay in
    executing
    a
    granl
    offer could well mean the death of the
    project.
