[Ord. 1997-1, 5/12/1997, § 803]
Where, owing to special conditions, a literal enforcement of the provisions of this chapter would result in unnecessary hardships and the developer demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Board by legal, competent evidence that the proposed waiver would not be contrary to the public health, safety, morals and welfare and that the spirit and intent of this chapter and all other ordinances of the Township would be preserved, the Board of Supervisors, with or without public hearing, may, but shall not be required to, make such reasonable waivers from the terms of this chapter as may be necessary to alleviate the hardship and preserve the public interest and spirit and intent of this chapter and other related ordinances; provided, however, where relief is sought from a hardship created by another ordinance and that ordinance contains within it provisions for obtaining relief from that hardship (for example, the jurisdiction granted to the Zoning Hearing Board under the Zoning Ordinance [Chapter
27]), the Board of Supervisors shall not be construed to have been granted a power to grant relief or to exercise concurrent jurisdiction with boards of review created in such other ordinances; provided, further, that the burden of establishing the right to waiver shall be in all respects upon the applicant, In granting such waivers, the Board of Supervisors may impose such conditions as will in its judgement secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so waived and preserve the integrity, spirit and intent of this chapter and the public health, safety and welfare.
