[Ord. 963, 10/18/2006, § 801]
1. Any request for a modification or exception to one or more provisions
of this chapter shall be considered by the Borough Council at a public
meeting, provided that such modification or waiver will not be contrary
to the public interest and that the purposes of this chapter are observed:
A. Hardship. The literal enforcement of the provision will exact undue
hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in
question.
B. Alternative Standard. An alternative standard can be demonstrated
to provide equal or better results. All requests for modifications
or waiver shall be submitted on an application form provided by the
Borough and be part of the subdivision and/or land development application.
The request shall state in full the grounds and facts of hardship
or evidence of equal or better result on which the request is based,
the provision or provisions of this chapter involved, and the minimum
modification necessary. The Borough shall keep a written record of
all actions on requests for modification.
