The rules, regulations and standards set forth in this Part 1 shall be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Township. However, if the applicant can clearly demonstrate that because of peculiar conditions pertaining to the applicant's land the literal enforcement of this Part 1 is impracticable or will exact undue hardship, the Planning Board may permit such exemption(s) and waiver(s) as may be reasonable, within the general purpose and intent of the rules, regulations and standards established by this Part 1.

The Planning Board may also waive the requirements of this Part 1 if the proposed development:

Secured previous site plan approval under the terms of this Part 1.
(2) 
Involves normal maintenance or replacement such as a new roof, painting, new siding or similar activity.
C. 
The Planning Board, when acting upon an application which includes provisions for low- and moderate-income housing, may waive those portions of the design standards that do not create health and safety concerns for the Township or for the future residents of a development, based on waiver standards contained in Subsection A of this section.
