2. If any mandatory provision of this Chapter is shown by the applicant, to be unreasonable and to cause unique and undue hardship, the Board of Supervisors may grant a waiver in writing from such a mandatory provision, provided that:
A. Such waiver will not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purposes of this Chapter.
B. The public safety is not compromised.
C. No requirements related to stormwater management, hydrogeology or stream corridors are modified.
3. All requests for waivers and modifications shall be in writing and shall accompany and be a part of the application for development.
