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 Pennington. Any action taken by the governing
body and the Planning Board under the terms of this chapter shall give primary
consideration to the above mentioned matters and to the welfare of the entire
community. However, if the subdivider or the subdivider's agent can clearly
demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land, the
literal enforcement of one or more of these regulations is impracticable or
will exact undue hardship, the Planning Board 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 chapter.
