The general principles of design and minimum requirements for the layout of subdivisions, as set forth in chapter 4 of this title, may be varied by the corporate authorities in the case of a subdivision large enough to constitute a more or less self-contained neighborhood which is to be developed in accordance with the comprehensive plan safeguarded by appropriate restrictions, and which, in the judgment of the corporate authorities makes adequate provision for all essential community requirements; provided, however, that no modification shall be granted by the corporate authorities which would conflict with the proposals of the official thoroughfare plan or with the other features of the comprehensive plan of the village, or with the intent and purposes of said general principles of design and minimum requirements.
