(A) Where provision does not exist for safe access for emergency and public service vehicles and access is not reasonably feasible except through privately owned residentially zoned land, access reserved for and limited to the vehicles may be authorized by the Board of Adjustment, subject to conditions and safeguards designed to protect the tranquillity and character of the residential land so traversed; and
(B) Where convenience and safety would be promoted, walkways and bicycle paths to non-residentially zoned land may be authorized by the Board of Adjustment across privately owned residentially zoned land, subject to conditions and safeguards to protect the tranquillity and character of the residential land so traversed.
