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 Zoning
Code, the Official Map and the Master Plan, if such exists.
In granting variances and modifications, the Planning Board shall
require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially
the objectives of the standards and requirements so varied and modified.
Where the Planning Board finds that strict compliance with these
regulations may conflict with the objectives and purposes of the Zoning
Code with reference to the preservation of both natural and
historic features (land or structures) which in the judgment of the
Planning Board are important to the common welfare of the Village,
it may vary the regulations so that historical preservation or an
important natural feature shall not be threatened, and the public
interest therein shall be secured, provided that such variations will
not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Zoning
Code, the Official Map and the Master Plan, if such exists.
