Generally, variances may be issued for new <br />construction and substantial improvanents to be <br />erected on a lot of one-half acre or less in size <br />contiguous to and surrounded by lots with existing <br />structures constructed below the base level, <br />providing all items in this section have been fully <br />considered. As the lot size increases beyond <br />one-half acre, the technical justifications required <br />for issuing the variance increases. <br /> <br />Variances may be issued for the reconstruction, <br />rehabilitation or restoration of structures listed <br />on the National Register of Historic Places or the <br />Colorado Inventory of Historic Places. <br /> <br />Variances shall not be issued within any designated <br />floodway if any increase in flood levels during the <br />base flood discharge would result. <br /> <br />Page 21 <br />
