Site plan approval shall not be required for any of the following:
A. 
Detached one- or two-family single-family dwellings including accessory uses permitted as of right under applicable zoning districts, but this shall not limit the requirements for submission and approval of subdivision plats as otherwise required by Township ordinances.
B. 
The one time construction of a parking area for less than three vehicles.
C. 
Any structure or use for which a site plan review application was made to the Planning/Zoning Board prior to the effective date of this chapter under municipal ordinances and regulations then in effect and superseded by this chapter and that is developed in accordance with an approval of such application heretofore given by the Planning/Zoning Board pursuant to said prior ordinances and regulations, provided that such approval is less than two years old.
D. 
Township buildings and developments.
A. 
The rules, regulations and standards set forth in this Part 3 shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Township. However, if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his or her land, the literal enforcement of this chapter is impracticable or will exact undue hardship, the Planning/Zoning Board may permit such exemption(s) and waiver(s) as may be reasonable, within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this Part 3.
B. 
The Planning/Zoning Board may also waive the requirements of this Part 3 if the proposed development:
(1) 
Secured previous site plan approval under the terms of this chapter; or
(2) 
Involves normal maintenance or replacement such as a new roof, painting, new siding or similar activity.
C. 
A proposed development not involving a change in use and not affecting existing circulation, drainage, building arrangements, landscaping, buffering, lighting and other considerations of site plan review may qualify for waiver of these requirements.
