When, after review of plans, it is established tliat an emergency shelter would not be permitted under thje foregoing provisions owing to topographic conditions, the location and coverage upon the lot of existing structures, or other characteristics peculiar to the site; the Board of Adjustment may grant the following exceptions, subject to whatever conditions the Board may find desirable to control the appearance in relation to the street and cffect on abutting properties:
806.1	Underground or partially below ground shelters without restriction on side or rear yard location, lot coverage requirements, or spacing in relation to the principal structure or other accessory buildings.
806.2	An above ground approved shelter located anywhere in a side or rear yard, provided an underground type shelter is not feasible.
806.3	When no other reasonable alternative is possible, an above-ground approved shelter may be permitted in the front yard. Whenever it is considered feasible and desirable the Board may require such shelters to be attached and constructed to a height conforming to the principal building.
When, after review of plans and public hearing, the Board of Adjustment finds it feasible, the construction of a common, approved, shelter by two or more property owners across two or more property lines may be permitted. All side and rear yard requirements may be waived except where an abutting property is not included in the joint proposal. The Board shall require the execution of an agreement between all property owners involved concerning rights and obligations of taxation, access, and maintenance.
Hie Board of Adjustment may, after review of plans and public hearing, permit a community owner approved shelter or one owned by several parties to be permitted as a principal use in any district.
