§9-1456 VARIANCES
Where topography or other existing physical conditions are such that compliance with the requirements of the Subdivision Regulations would cause an unusual or unnecessary hardship on the property owner/developer above and beyond what other property owners/developers would be required to meet, the property owner/developer may submit a variance petition to the Board of Adjustment in accordance with Article Q Procedures & Administration to consider a variance to the minimum requirements set forth in these Subdivision Regulations, provided that such variances shall not have the effect of nullifying the interest and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations. The Board of Adjustment shall make its determination, and the Board of Adjustment shall provide in writing the reasons for its action. If the Board of Adjustment has approved a variance for the preliminary major subdivision plan, a copy of the written reasons/action by the Board of Adjustment shall be included with the preliminary major subdivision plan to the Planning Board for subsequent review and recommendation to the Town Board of Commissioners for final action.
