Whenever the tract to be subdivided or platted is of such unusual size or shape, or is surrounded by such development of unusual conditions that the strict application of the requirements contained in this chapter would result in a substantial hardship of injustice, the Council may vary or modify such requirements so that the subdivider is allowed to develop his or her property in a reasonable manner, but in such a manner that the public welfare and interests of the city and surrounding area are protected and the general intent and spirit of this chapter is preserved.
