applicant actually complete construction and begin the approved special exception
use in compliance with the conditions imposed by the Zoning Board of Appeals
within a time period of from six months to three years;
(4) If the Zoning Board of Appeals fails to specify a period to complete construction and
begin the approved special exception use, the time period to complete construction

a. All conditions imposed by the special exception approval shall continue to
apply unless they, by their express terms, are of limited duration.

specifically by this chapter shall continue to apply, regardless of whether any
such conditions were expressly incorporated into the special exception
approval.

same;
d. The duration of a special exception use may be limited to a specified time
period as set forth in the approval of the Zoning Board of Appeals, if the
approval is silent as to the duration of the special exception use, then said use
shall be in perpetuity;
