A.
Where the Planning Board finds that compliance with
this chapter would cause unusual hardship or extraordinary difficulties
because of exceptional and unique conditions of topography, access,
location, shape, size, drainage or other physical features of the
site, the minimum requirements of this chapter may be modified to
mitigate the hardship, provided that the public interest is protected
and the development is in keeping with the general spirit and intent
of this chapter.
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, by specific resolution, waive
such requirements subject to appropriate conditions.
In granting waivers and modifications, the Planning
Board shall require such conditions as, in its judgment, secure substantially
the objectives of the standards or requirements so waived or modified.
