B.   To hear and decide special exceptions to the terms of this title upon which the board is required to pass under this title; and
   

C.   To authorize upon appeal in specific cases such variance from terms of this title as will not be contrary to the public interest, where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this title will result in unnecessary hardship and so that the spirit of this title shall be observed and substantial justice done.
