Whenever the tract to be subdivided is of such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such development or unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirements of these Regulations would result in real difficulties, substantial hardship, or injustice, such requirements may be varied or modified so that the subdivider may subdivide his property in a reasonable manner, but at the same time, the public welfare and interest of the Village and the surrounding area are thoroughly protected and the general intent and spirit of these Regulations are enforced. The Planning Commission may make recommendations of variations which may be permitted, but the authority for approval of such variations shall rest with Council.
All land uses shall be incorporated in the plat and must conform, in general, to the areas of land usage as delineated and adopted by the Planning Commission and Council. All plats shall insure that adequate public spaces, circulation, recreation light and air will be provided and the needs of the entire community when fully developed and occupied will be fully met.
Where topography and other physical conditions make full compliance with Chapter 1161 an undue hardship upon the owner, the Planning Commission may refer the problem of compliance to the Village Engineer and Council for recommendations as to possible variances.
