1)         the provision from which the variance is granted is not statutorily mandated;

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 Board of his or her intention to grant a variance, and the reasons for granting the variance, at a meeting of the Board, prior to granting the variance.
