PART 27_CAPE COD NATIONAL SEASHORE; ZONING STANDARDS--Table of Contents
 
Sec. 27.4  Variances and exceptions.

    (a) Zoning bylaws may provide for variances and exceptions.
    (b) Bylaws adopted pursuant to these standards shall contain 
provisions which constitute notice to applicants for variances and 
exceptions that, under section 5(d) of the Act of August 7, 1961, the 
Secretary of the Interior is authorized to withdraw the suspension of 
his authority to acquire, by condemnation, ``improved property'' that is 
made the subject of a variance or exception which, in his opinion, fails 
to conform or is in any manner opposed to or inconsistent with 
preservation and development of the seashore as contemplated in the said 
Act. The Secretary may be consulted at any time by zoning authorities or 
by the owner of ``improved property'' regarding the effect of a proposed 
variance or exception upon the status of the affected property with 
regard to the suspension of the Secretary's authority to condemn. The 
Secretary, within 60 days of the receipt of a request for such 
determination, or as soon thereafter as is reasonably possible, shall 
advise the owner or zoning authorities whether or not the intended use 
will subject the property to acquisition by condemnation.
    (c) The Secretary shall be promptly notified of the granting of any 
variance or exception.
