C. Limitations on making interpretations. The Code Enforcement Officer and the Zoning Board of Appeals shall be permitted to make interpretations in any manner it deems fit; however, such Officer and Board shall not have the authority to alter or change this chapter or allow a use that which would be inconsistent with the requirements of this chapter; provided, however, that in interpreting and applying the provisions of this chapter, the requirements shall be deemed to be the spirit and intent of this chapter and do not constitute the granting of a special privilege.
