The Council may grant a variance upon receiving a report from the Planning Commission in any particular case where the subdivider can show that by reason of exceptional topography or other physical conditions, the strict compliance with these regulations could cause unnecessary hardship. Application for such a variance shall be made in writing by the subdivider at the time the preliminary plat is filed with the Clerk/Treasurer. A variance thus granted shall be recorded in resolution form entered in the minutes of the Council setting forth the reasons which justified the action.
