§ 28-101. Variances, other improvements.

Where a subdivider can show that a provision of these regulations would cause unnecessary hardship if strictly adhered to, and where, because of topographical or other conditions peculiar to the site, in the opinion of the planning commission a departure may be made without destroying the intent of such provisions, the planning commission may authorize a variance. Likewise, because of peculiar conditions or circumstances relative to a particular subdivision, the planning commission may require the installation of sidewalks, street trees or other improvements. Any variance thus authorized or additional improvement thus required shall be stated in writing in the minutes of the planning commission with the reasoning upon which the variance or addition was justified set forth.
