In any particular case where the developer can show by plan
and written statement that, by reason of exceptional topographic or
other physical conditions, strict compliance with any requirement
of this chapter would cause practical difficulty or exceptional and
undue hardship, the Board of Supervisors may relax such requirements
to the extent deemed just and proper so as to relieve such difficulty
or hardship, provided that such relief may be granted without detriment
to the public good and without impairing the intent and purpose of
this chapter or the desirable general development of the neighborhood
and the community in accordance with the Township's Comprehensive
Plan.
When an equal or better specification is available to comply
with the Township Construction Standards or design standards of this chapter, the Board of Supervisors
may make such reasonable modifications to such requirements of this
chapter to allow the use of the equal or better specification, upon
recommendation of the Township Engineer, provided such modification
will not be contrary to the public interest. In approving such modification,
the Board of Supervisors may attach any reasonable conditions which
may be necessary to assure adequate public improvements and protect
the public safety.
