1. 
The provisions of these regulations are intended as a minimum standard for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare. If the literal compliance with any mandatory provision of these regulations is shown by the applicant to the satisfaction of the Board present at a public meeting to be unreasonable and to cause undue hardship as it applies to the particular property, the Board may grant a modification from such mandatory provision so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured while permitting the reasonable utilization of the property. However, the granting of a modification shall not have the effect of making null and void the intent and purpose of this chapter.
2. 
Application Requirements.
A. 
All requests for modifications shall be made in accordance with the provisions of § 310 of this chapter.
B. 
Should a revision to a submitted plan require a modification, which was not apparent at the time of the initial plan submission, the request for a modification shall be submitted in accordance with § 310 of this chapter.
3. 
Action on Modification Requests.
A. 
At a public meeting, and after review and recommendation by the Planning Commission, the Board shall review the request to determine if the literal compliance with any mandatory provision of this chapter is demonstrated by the applicant to exact undue hardship because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question, provided that such modification will not be contrary to the public interest and that the purpose and intent of this chapter is observed.
B. 
The applicant shall demonstrate that an alternative proposal will allow for equal or better results and represents the minimum modification necessary. If the Board determines that the applicant has met his burden, it may grant a modification from the literal compliance with the terms of this chapter.
C. 
In granting modifications, the Board may impose such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure the objectives and purposes of this chapter.

If the defendant neither pays nor timely appeals the judgment, the Township may enforce the judgment pursuant to the applicable rules of civil procedure. Each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation unless the district justice determines that there was a good faith basis for the person, partnership or corporation violating the chapter to have believed that there was no such violation, in which event there shall be deemed to have been only one such violation until the fifth day following the date of determination of a violation of the district justice, and thereafter each day that a violation continues shall constitute a separate violation.
