Article XII, SECTION 5.2 Subdivision Variance Procedures
The Planning Board may vary from the design standards and improvements required by this Ordinance, after finding
that the following conditions exist:
A. There are extraordinary and exceptional conditions pertaining to the particular piece of property in question because of its size, shape, or topography
that are not applicable to other lands or structures.
B. Granting the variance requested will not confer upon the subdivider any special privileges that are denied to others.
C. A literal
interpretation of the provisions of this Ordinance would deprive the subdivider of rights commonly enjoyed by others.
D. The requested variance will be in harmony with the purpose and
intent of this Ordinance and will not be injurious to the neighborhood or to the general welfare.
E. The special circumstances are not the result of the actions of the subdivider.
F. The
variance requested is the minimum needed.
G. The burden of producing substantial evidence to support the required findings by the Planning Board is clearly upon the applicant. The
Planning Board shall deny any request for a variance that is not directly supported by substantial and credible evidence.
H. Land uses on adjoining property may be considered by the
Planning Board during its deliberation. However ownership of any adjoining property by direct lineal descendants or direct lineal ascendants of the applicant or subdivider shall not
be considered by the Planning Board.
The Planning Board may attach to the granting of such a variance any conditions necessary to insure that the purpose and intent of this Ordinance
is not compromised.
