Upon written application by an applicant, the Township Board
of Supervisors may, in its discretion, approve or deny a request for
a waiver of the provisions of this Chapter if the applicant demonstrates
to the satisfaction of the Township Board of Supervisors that literal
compliance will be unreasonable, will cause undue hardship because
of peculiar conditions relating to the land, when an alternative standard
is shown to provide equal or better results, and when such alternative
will not be contrary to the public interest and observes the purpose
and intent of this Chapter.

produce results that are equal to or better than the standards, practices
or materials required by this Chapter, and further provided that such
alternatives will not be contrary to the public interest and observes
the purpose and intent of this Chapter.
