hardship with regard to 'the applicant's particular
circumstances, and would not be essential in
accomplishing the objectives of this chapter. Should
the applicant be dissatisfied with the decision of the
chief building inspector with regard to a requested
exception, he shall be entitled to appeal such decision
to the city council.
