The Planning Board, when acting upon applications for preliminary
or minor subdivision approval, shall have the power to grant such
exceptions from the requirements for subdivision approval as may be
reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions
for subdivision review and approval of an ordinance adopted pursuant
to this Part II, if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions
of the ordinance is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because
of peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The Planning Board, when acting upon applications for preliminary
site plan approval, shall have the power to grant such exceptions
from the requirements for site plan approval as may be reasonable
and within the general purpose and intent of the provisions for site
plan review and approval of an ordinance adopted pursuant to this
Part II, if the literal enforcement of one or more provisions of the
ordinance is impracticable or will exact undue hardship because of
peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question.
The Planning Board shall have the power to review and approve
or deny conditional uses or site plans simultaneously with review
for subdivision approval without the developer being required to make
further application to the Planning Board or the Planning Board being
required to hold further hearings. The longest time period for action
by the Planning Board, whether it is for subdivision, conditional
use or site plan approval, shall apply. Whenever approval of a conditional
use is requested by the developer pursuant to this section, notice
of the hearing on the plat shall include reference to the request
for such conditional use.
