Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it
may issue a variance from this chapter in an individual case 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 any map, plan, regulation, law or ordinance, if such
exists.
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.
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.
