The provisions of this chapter and related ordinances
are considered the minimum for the orderly development of the community.
However, when acting on applications for the approval of minor subdivisions
or preliminary approval of major subdivisions or preliminary approval
of site plans or the review of conditional uses, the Planning Board
shall have the power to grant such exceptions from the requirements
of this chapter and applicable provisions of related ordinances of
Sandyston as may be reasonable and within the general purposes and
intent of the provisions of this chapter and related ordinances, if
literal enforcement of one or more provisions becomes impracticable
or exacts undue hardships as a result of special or particular conditions
of the land or tract in question. In each case, the Planning Board
shall make a written record of its findings and conclusions as a basis
for exceptions granted (N.J.S.A. 40:55D-51).
