Upon the findings of the Commission that, due
to special conditions peculiar to a subdivision or a site, certain
requirements of these regulations are inappropriate, or that strict
compliance with said requirements may cause extraordinary and unnecessary
hardships, the Commission may vary or waive said requirements, provided
that such variance or waiver will not be detrimental to the public
health, safety or general welfare or have the effect of nullifying
the intent and purpose of the Official Map, the Zoning Ordinance, the Comprehensive Plan or these regulations. In varying
or waiving certain requirements, the Commission may specify such conditions
as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the
requirements so varied or waived.
