Where the Planning Board finds that compliance with
this Part 2 would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary difficulties
because of exceptional and unique conditions of topography, access,
location, shape, size, drainage or other physical features of the
site, the minimum requirements of the regulations may be modified
to mitigate the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected
and the development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent
of this Part 2.
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, by specific resolution, waive
such requirements subject to appropriate conditions.
In granting 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.
