[Amended 2-19-2002 by Ord. No. 773-02]
The rules, regulations and standards contained
in this chapter shall be considered the minimum requirements for the
protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens
of the Borough. Any action taken by 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 site plan applicant, or his/her agent, can clearly demonstrate
that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his/her land, the
literal enforcement of one or more of these regulations is impracticable
or will exact undue hardship, the Planning Board or the Council 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.
