2)         no party will be injured by the granting of the variance; and

3)         the rule from which the variance is granted would, in the particular case, be unreasonable or unnecessarily burdensome.

b)         The Director shall notify the Committee of the granting of the variance, and the reasons therefor, at the next meeting of the Committee.
