A. 
In those specific areas within the Township where well water can be the only source of water, the homeowner may qualify as a hardship case. If in the event that a homeowner can demonstrate said hardship, construction may commence only upon it being demonstrated that a point of entry activated carbon filtering system would meet the needs of the entire home or facility. The homeowner will be required to obtain an inspection and certificate verifying the adequacy of said system by a qualified entity prior to the issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
B. 
For the purposes of this section, a homeowner shall be defined as an individual not a corporate or commercial entity who maintains a legal residence on said principal lot for a minimum period of one year prior to a subdivision. Upon the granting of a subdivision and the hardship herein, the homeowner shall be required to maintain the principal lot as his or her legal residence for a period of at least one year after the granting of a subdivision and the hardship herein.
C. 
The provisions of this section entitled "Hardship" shall only apply to a homeowner who is creating a subdivision of three or more homes. A hardship is not to be defined as an economic hardship. Be it further noted that the hardship provision shall not be applicable to § 272-4.
The requirements set forth herein, shall be applied prospectively to all new development and shall not be applicable to all developments/businesses with prior approvals.
