any improvements to the vault space in question, and setting forth
the reasons why it is necessary to obtain a permit for a period
longer than one (1) year's duration. The City Council may grant
such application if it finds that the continued use of the vault

or particular hardships imposed by the grant of a permit for one (1)
year, and that the particular physical surroundings, shape or other
conditions of the specific property involved require utilization of
the vault space. Any such permit issued for a period in excess of
one (1) year shall be conditioned upon the payment of the permit
