The provisions of these regulations are intended as a minimum standard for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. If the literal compliance with any mandatory provision of these regulations is shown by the applicant, to the satisfaction of a majority of the members of the Township Supervisors present at a public meeting, to be unreasonable and to cause undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the particular property and if the applicant shows that an alternative proposal will allow for equal or better results and represents the minimum modification necessary, the Board of Supervisors may grant a waiver from such mandatory provision, so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured while permitting the reasonable utilization of the property. However, the granting of a waiver shall not have the effect of making null and void the intent and/or purpose of this chapter.
[Amended 12-19-1989 by Ord. No. 80]
