The Planning Board, when acting upon applications for preliminary or minor subdivision approval or upon applications for preliminary site plan approval, shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements for such subdivision or site plan approval as specified in Articles
VI and
VII of this chapter if an applicant or his agent can clearly demonstrate that, because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his land, the literal enforcement of one or more of the requirements is impracticable or will exact undue hardship; however, any exception granted by the Planning Board must be reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this chapter.
