Subdivisions.
(A) Where the subdivider can show that a provision of this chapter would cause unnecessary hardship if strictly adhered to and where, in the opinion of the PPC, because of topographical or other conditions peculiar to the site, a departure may be made without destroying the intent of such provisions, the PPC may authorize a waiver, pursuant to I.C. 36-7-4-702(c). Any waiver must be requested at the time of primary plat or secondary plat application. Any waiver thus authorized is required to be entered in writing in the minutes of the PPC and the reasoning on which the departure was justified shall be set forth.
(B) Pursuant to I.C. 36-7-4-702(c), the standards for subdivisions may be waived at the discretion of the PPC; however, to be approved, the plat must still meet all applicable standards prescribed in the UDO (other than standards modified by variance by the BZA). As a condition of granting a waiver, the PPC may allow or require a commitment(s) to be made under the rules governing commitments.
