[Ord. 101, 9/14/1993, § 701]
If any provision of this Chapter is shown by the developer to
be unreasonable of application, or such as to cause undue hardship
not of his own making, in the special conditions of his proposed subdivision
or land development, the Township may grant a variance from the literal
requirements of such provision; provided, that such variance will
not be contrary to public interest and that the purpose and intent
of this Chapter is observed.

be reviewed and recommendation made by the Planning Commission, whether
requested by the developer or deemed necessary by the Planning Commission.

Chapter shall appear in the official minutes of the Planning Commission.
