The Planning Board, when acting upon applications for 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 this chapter if the literal enforcement of
one or more provisions of this chapter 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 this chapter if the literal enforcement
of one or more provisions of this chapter 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's 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 be 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.
