A.Â
Where the Planning Board finds that compliance with
this chapter would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary difficulties
because of exceptional and unique conditions of topography, access,
location, shape, size, drainage or other physical features of the
site, or where the Planning Board finds that unnecessary or extraordinary
hardship may result from strict compliance with this chapter, the
minimum requirements of the chapter may be waived or modified to mitigate
the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected and the
development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent of this
chapter.
Where the Planning Board finds that, because
of the special circumstances of a particular plat, the provision of
certain required improvements is not requisite in the interest of
the public health, safety and general welfare or is inappropriate
because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or
in proximity to the proposed subdivision, the Board may, by specific
resolution, waive such requirements, subject to appropriate conditions.
In granting variances and modifications, the
Planning Board shall impose such conditions as will, in its judgment,
secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements
so varied or modified.
