The provisions of this Chapter are the minimum standards for the protection of the public welfare. The Township reserves the right to modify or extend them as may be necessary in the public interest.
2.
When, due to the peculiar conditions pertaining to the land in question, the literal compliance with mandatory provisions of this Chapter is shown to the satisfaction of the Board of Supervisors to be unreasonable, to cause undue hardship or when an alternative standard can be demonstrated to provide equal or better results, the Board of Supervisors may grant a modification or waiver.

In granting modifications, the Supervisors may impose such conditions as will, in its judgment, substantially secure the objectives of the standards or requirements so modified.
