All prior ordinances of the Borough of Bergenfield
dealing with the subject matter of this chapter, whether or not inconsistent
therewith, are hereby superseded.
These rules, regulations and standards shall
be considered the minimum requirements for the protection of the public
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of the Borough. Any action
taken by the Borough Council, Board of Adjustment, and the Planning
Board under the terms of this chapter shall give primary consideration
to the above-mentioned matters and to the welfare of the entire community,
However, if the subdivider or his agent can clearly demonstrate that,
because of peculiar conditions pertaining to his land, the literal
enforcement of one of more of these regulations is impractical or
will exact undue hardship, the Planning Board, Borough Council and
Board of Adjustment may permit such variance or variances as may be
reasonable and within the general purpose and intent of the rules,
regulations and standards established by this chapter.
