(4)
Waiver of minor site plan detail requirements. An applicant
may request waiver from any of the required details based upon unique

use. Such evidence shall be presented which shall indicate to the
Board the requested waivers(s) will not affect the Board's ability
to make an informed decision concerning the impact of the proposed
use upon adjacent property owners, the surrounding neighborhood, utility
systems, traffic and other elements of the minor site plan.
In acting upon any site plan submitted to it, the Planning Board
shall ascertain that all of the terms, conditions and requirements
of this Part 2 are met.

vest all or a portion of its power to review and approve site plans
in a designated committee of said Board.
