The Planning Board, when acting upon applications
for preliminary or minor subdivision approval, shall have the power
to grant such exceptions from the requirements for subdivision approval
as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of
the provisions for subdivision review and approval of this chapter
if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter
is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar
conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The Planning Board, when acting upon applications
for preliminary site plan approval, shall have the power to grant
such exceptions from the requirements for site plan approval as may
be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions
for site plan review and approval of this chapter, if the literal
enforcement of one or more provisions of this chapter is impracticable
or will exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining
to the land in question.
The Planning Board shall have the power to review
and approve or deny conditional uses or site plans simultaneously
with review for subdivision approval without the developer being required
to make further application to the Planning Board or the Planning
Board being required to hold further hearings. The longest time period
for action by the Planning Board, whether it be for subdivision, conditional
use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional
use is requested by the developer pursuant to this section, notice
of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request
for such conditional use.
