A. 
Where the Land Management Committee finds that undue difficulties will result from strict compliance with the regulations of this chapter or better design will result, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such rule exception will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of this chapter.

A majority vote of the entire membership of the Land Management Committee shall be required to grant any rule exception to these regulations and any rule exception thus granted shall be entered into the minutes of the Committee setting forth the reasons which, in the judgment of the Committee, justified the rule exception.
