The Planning Board may waive, upon specific request and by specific
resolution, subject to appropriate conditions and guaranties, for
such period as it may determine, the requirements of this chapter
relative to the provision and design of any or all required improvements
which, in its judgment of the special circumstances of a particular
plat or plats, are not requisite to the interests of the public health,
safety and general welfare of the Town or are not appropriate because
of the inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent to or
in the proximity of the proposed subdivision.
Where the Planning Board finds that compliance with this chapter
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 this chapter may be modified upon specific
request and by specific resolution of the Planning Board to mitigate
the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected and the
development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent of these
and other Town regulations.
