In any particular case where the developer can show by plan
and written statement that, by reason of exceptional topographic or
other physical conditions, strict compliance with any requirement
of this chapter would cause practical difficulty or exceptional and
undue hardship, the Board of Commissioners may relax such requirements
to the extent deemed just and proper so as to relieve such difficulty
or hardship, provided that such relief may be granted without detriment
to the public good and without impairing the intent and purpose of
this chapter or the desirable general development of the neighborhood
and the community in accordance with the Township's Comprehensive
Plan.
When an equal or better specification is available to comply
with the Township Public Improvements Code or design standards of
this chapter, the Board of Commissioners may make such reasonable
modifications to such requirements of this chapter to allow the use
of the equal or better specification, upon recommendation of the Township
Engineer, provided such modification shall not be contrary to the
public interest. In approving such modification, the Board of Commissioners
may attach any reasonable conditions which may be necessary to assure
adequate public improvements and protect the public safety.
