In any case where the title to a reservation is not offered for dedication to the town, the ownership should be clearly established to ensure continued responsibility for such reservation.
If a proposed subdivision includes land that is zoned for business or industrial purposes, the layout of the subdivision with respect to such land shall make such provisions as the Planning Board may require for safe and convenient access to such automobile parking and loading and unloading spaces as may be required by the Zoning Ordinance, or otherwise for safe and convenient access to such land.
Where the Planning Board finds that, because of special circumstances of a particular plat, extraordinary hardships may result from strict compliance with these regulations, it may waive specific requirements of the regulations so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that any such waiver will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of these regulations, the Town Development Plan or the Official Map of the town. In granting any waiver, the Planning Board shall attach such conditions as are, in its judgment, necessary to secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so waived.
