Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships may result from strict compliance with this chapter, 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,[1] if such exists, the Comprehensive Plan or Chapter 250, Zoning.

Editor's Note: Said map is on file in the Town offices.
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 the 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.
