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, Borough Council 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 Borough's Comprehensive Plan.
When an equal or better specification is available
to comply with the Borough Public Improvements Code or design standards of this chapter, Borough Council 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 Borough Engineer, provided that such modification shall not
be contrary to the public interest. In approving such modification,
Borough Council may attach any reasonable conditions protect the public
safety.
