A.
Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships may result from strict compliance with this part, 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,
the Master Plan or the Zoning Ordinance, if such exists.[1]
B.
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 inadequacy or lack
of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the proposed
subdivision, it may waive such requirements, subject to appropriate
conditions.
C.
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.
