Where the Planning Board finds that extraordinary and unnecessary hardships may result from strict compliance with this chapter, it may vary this chapter so that substantial justice may be done and the public interest secured, provided that such variations will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Official Map, the Comprehensive Plan, or Chapter 225, Zoning.
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.
In granting variances and modifications, the
Planning Board shall require such conditions as will, in its judgment,
secure substantially the objectives of the standards or requirements
so varied or modified.
