Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary hardship may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variations will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Official Map, the Master Plan or Chapter 232, Zoning.
Where the Planning Board finds that, due to the special
circumstances of a particular plat, the provision of certain required
improvements is not requisite in the interest of the public health,
safety and general welfare or is inappropriate because of inadequacy
or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the proposed
subdivision, it may waive such requirements subject to appropriate
conditions.
In granting waivers and modifications, the Planning
Board shall require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure
substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so varied
or modified.
