not presently served by streets.
[Ord. No. 6924 §§1—3(9-146), 2-22-1999]
A large scale development including the construction of two
(2) or more buildings together with the necessary drives and ways

such plat is to be recorded, and no building permits shall be issued
until such approval has been given.

Modifications
of the provisions set forth in this Article may be authorized by the
Planning and Zoning Commission in specific cases when, in its opinion,
undue hardships may result from strict compliance. Any determination
shall be based fundamentally on the fact that unusual topographical
and other exceptional conditions require such modification and that
the granting of the modifications will not adversely affect the general
public or nullify the intent of these regulations.
B.
Application
for any of the above-mentioned modifications shall be filed in writing,
with necessary supporting documents, with the Planning and Zoning
Commission by the subdivider simultaneously with the preliminary plat
of the subdivision and shall explain in detail the reasons and facts
supporting the application.
