These rules, regulations and standards shall
be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Borough of Ridgefield.
Any action taken by the Planning Board and the governing body under
the terms of this Part 3 shall give primary consideration to the above-mentioned
matters and to the welfare of the entire community. However, if the
subdivider or his agent can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar
conditions pertaining to his land, the literal enforcement of one
or more of these regulations is impracticable or will exact undue
hardship, the Planning Board and governing body may permit such variance
or variances as may be reasonable and within the general purpose and
intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this
Part 3.
All ordinances or parts of ordinances other
than the Zoning Ordinance of the Borough of Ridgefield — 1939,
as amended and supplemented,[1] which are inconsistent with the provisions of this Part
3, are hereby repealed to the extent of such inconsistency.
