In any particular case where the developer can show by plan and written statement that, by reason of exceptional topographic or other physical conditions, literal compliance with any requirement of these regulations would cause practical difficulty or exceptional and undue hardship, the Planning and Zoning Commission may modify such requirement to the extent deemed just and proper, so as to relieve such difficulty or hardship; provided such relief may be granted without detriment to the public interest and without impairing the intent and purpose of these regulations or the desirable general development or welfare of the neighborhood and the community in accordance with the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Ordinance. Any modification thus granted shall be spread upon the minutes of the Planning and Zoning Commission setting forth the reasons which, in the opinion of the Planning and Zoning Commission, justified the modification and presented to the Board of Aldermen for final approval.
