Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships may result from strict compliance with these regulations,
it may vary the regulations so that substantial justice may be done
and the public interest secured, provided that such variations will
not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Official
Map or any Zoning Ordinance.
Where the Planning Board finds that, due to the special circumstances
of a particular plat, the provision of certain required improvements
is not necessary in the interest of the public health, safety, general
planning and welfare or is inappropriate because of inadequacy or
lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the proposed
subdivision, it may waive such requirements, subject to appropriate
conditions.
In granting variances and 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.
