        303.58  POWERS OF BOARD.
         The board of adjustment may:
         1.  Hear and decide appeals where it is alleged there is error in
      an order, requirement, decision, or determination made by an
      administrative official in the enforcement of this subchapter or of
      any ordinance adopted pursuant to it.
         2.  Hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of the
      ordinance upon which the board is required to pass under the
      ordinance.
         3.  Authorize upon appeal, in specific cases, a variance from the
      terms of the land use plan which are not contrary to the public
      interest, where owing to special conditions a literal enforcement of
      the plan would result in unnecessary hardship, and so that the spirit
      of the plan shall be observed and substantial justice done.
