(a) Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirements of these Regulations would result in real difficulties, substantial hardship, or injustice, such requirements may be varied or modified so that the subdivider may subdivide his property in a reasonable manner; but, at the same time, the public welfare and interest of the Municipality and the surrounding area are thoroughly protected and the general intent and spirit of these Regulations are enforced.
(b) The requirements of these Regulations may also be modified and varied whenever the scope of a plat encompasses a complete neighborhood or community, but any such plat shall conform to the Future Land Use Plan of the Municipality. All land uses indicated in the Future Land Use Plan shall be incorporated on the plat and must conform, in general, to the areas of land usage as delineated and adopted by the Planning Commission and the Village Council. The Future Land Use Plan and any adopted Major Thoroughfare Plan shall be the guide for all future development of redevelopment in the Municipality. Any such variance requested must insure that adequate public spaces, circulation, recreation, light and air will be provided and the needs of the entire community when fully developed and occupied will be met.
