All information shall be complete and precise, identifying the applicable provisions of Chapter 500, Zoning, and the specific nature of the relief or permit sought. Such applications are limited to the owner of the property, a contract purchaser, or the owner's authorized representative. Proof of such authorization, acceptable to the Board, shall accompany the application.
