(j) Deviation From Design Standards. The Planning Commission may permit, as to any of the specific improvements or installations in this section, deviation from the design standards after receiving the recommendation of the Engineer as to the proposed deviation. The Planning Commission in granting such deviation, and the Engineer in making his recommendation, shall base their decision and recommendation on either:
(1) The improvement under the proposed deviation from the design standards will be equally effective, safe, adequate and desirable as the improvements would be under such standards, and that the improvements under the proposed deviation will perform the same function as and have a life of usefulness equal to the improvement made pursuant to such standards; or
(2) The strict application of the design standards to improvements which are under construction for which have been fully planned and contracted for at the time this section becomes fully effective would cause extreme undue hardship or practical difficulty. However, no deviation under subsection (j)(1) or (2) hereof shall be approved that is not in harmony with the general purpose and intent of these regulations or which will interfere with the public health, safety or general welfare.
