Where a map boundary and <br />elevations disagree, the elevations delineated in <br />the flood elevation 'profile shall prevail. The <br />person contesting the location of the boundary <br />shall be given a reasonable opportunity to appeal' <br />the interpretation as provided in Section I308.16. <br /> <br />1308.16 VARIANCE PROCEDURE. <br /> <br />(a) The Board of Building Standards and Building <br />Appeals shall hear and decide appeals and requests <br />for variances from the requirements of this Code. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
