A.
Where, due to topography or other conditions especially affecting the land being subdivided, a literal enforcement of this chapter would result in practical difficulty, unnecessary hardship or a conflict with other requirements in such subdivision deemed to be of greater benefit or importance, the Planning Board may vary the application of these regulations in harmony with their general purpose and intent. The approval of any such modification shall be deemed to be included in the approval by the Planning Board of the subdivision plat, and the Planning Board shall state in its minutes its reasons for granting any such modifications.
B.
Where the Planning Board finds that, due to the special circumstances of a particular plat, the provision of certain required improvements is not requisite in the interest of the public health, safety and general welfare or is inappropriate because of inadequacy or lack of connecting facilities adjacent or in proximity to the proposed subdivision, it may waive such requirements subject to appropriate conditions.
C.
When the subdivider is a resident farmer actively engaged in agricultural pursuits on the land to be subdivided, either wholly or in part, the Planning Board may waive at its discretion any part of these procedures as it sees fit. However, the Planning Board shall require at least the submission of a concept layout, though not necessarily conforming to all of the requirements of § 182-24, which will indicate the subdivider's plans for the ultimate disposition of his land.
D.
In granting modifications, the Planning Board shall require such conditions as will, in its judgment, secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements so modified.
