The term includes <br /> <br /> only docking facilities, port facilities that are necessary for the loading and unloading of <br /> <br /> cargo or passengers, and [skip-bxi{~g} shipbuilding and ship repair facilities, but does <br /> <br /> not include long-term storage or related manufacturing facilities. <br /> [(33~] "General floodplain" -See "[sane] Zone A." <br /> [(34j] "Hardship" as related to article 5, variances, of this chapter means the hardship <br /> <br /> that would result from a failure to grant the requested variance.

Mere economic or financial hardship alone is not exceptional. Inconvenience, <br /> aesthetic considerations, physical handicaps, personal preferences, or the disapproval of <br /> <br /> one's neighbors likewise cannot, as a rule, qualify as exceptional hazdships. All of these <br /> <br /> problems can be resolved through other means, without granting a variance.
