  • A special permit to exceed the restrictions as set forth in this chapter may be granted by the Town Zoning Board of Appeals if in its judgment it finds that the use for which such permit is sought will not, in the circumstances of the particular case and under any condition that the Board considers to be necessary or desirable, be injurious to the area or otherwise detrimental to the public welfare. The Board shall impose any conditions which it deems necessary to protect the area. The Board, shall deny applications for a special permit which in its judgment would prove detrimental to adjacent property. The Board on application and after public notice and hearing, may issue a permit complying with the general standards set forth as follows:

    B. 
    Each special permit use must comply generally with regulations of this chapter, for the district within which it is to be located.
    C. 
    Each special permit use shall be of such character, intensity, size and location that it will be in harmony with orderly development of the district in which it is to be located.
