Waive of improvements. The Board may waive any required
improvements which, in its judgment, are not necessary for the protection
of the public health, safety and general welfare of the community.
B.
Adjustments of standards and regulations. When the Board
finds that, because of special circumstances of a particular site, extraordinary
hardships may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it may vary
the requirements so that substantial justice is done and the public interest
secured. Where the requirements are varied, the minutes of the Board shall
state the extraordinary hardship. In granting any such variation, the Board
shall attach such conditions as, in its judgment, are necessary to substantially
secure the objectives of the standards or requirements so varied.
