shall be complied with a and no higher standard may be required by
the Planning Board except where it finds that because of exceptional
and unique conditions of topography, location, shape, size, drainage
or other physical features of the site or because of the special nature
and character of surrounding development, the minimum standard specified
herein would not reasonably protect or provide for public health,
safety or welfare. Any higher standard required shall be reasonable

require the setting aside by the applicant of such lands for such
purposes. The location and size of the lands proposed to be set aside
will be subject to the approval of the Planning Board.
