RELIEF FROM REQUIREMENTS

§ 155.185 MODIFICATION MAY BE GRANTED.

   From time to time, a situation may arise where the standards of this chapter cause an undue hardship or prove unreasonable in application. Faced with this situation a modification or alteration of requirements can be granted from the literal application of the standards; however, modifications cannot be contrary to the public interest and must observe the basic purpose and intent of this chapter.

(Ord. 2-2011, passed 10-6-2011)

§ 155.186 MODIFICATION TO BE MINIMUM REQUIRED.

   Assurance must be provided that any modification is absolutely necessary and represents the minimum possible modification. Unusual physical circumstances may involve minor adjustments in curve radii, street grade or slope, cul-de-sac length or problems over the width of an existing right-of-way. In most cases, minor design modifications will not jeopardize public safety.

(Ord. 2-2011, passed 10-6-2011)

§ 155.187 REQUEST FOR MODIFICATION.

   Any request must be submitted in writing, citing the specific provisions or standards from which relief is requested, and should be part of the preliminary or final plan submission. A request states in full the grounds and facts of unreasonableness or hardship upon which the request is based, the provisions of the ordinance involved and the exact alteration or modification necessary. A record of the request should appear in the official minutes of the Township Board of Supervisors. This record documents the reasons for the request, facts of unreasonableness and any action taken on the request. Any relief approved should represent the minimum or least possible modification of the standard.
