If, upon determination by the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission or any county official or employee authorized by the Board of Supervisors to grant a zoning approval or other entitlements as specified in § 15.03.045(A), feels that an undue hardship would result from the imposition of the fees in the manner set forth in § 15.03.045, or that utility improvements to be made by the developer or owner of property subject to the payment of a fee as provided in § 15.03.045, will reduce the cost of and be usable as a part of an underground utility conversion project, the Director of Planning may authorize a modification in the amount or manner of payment of the obligation. If utility improvements in lieu of all or a portion of the fee are to be approved, the fee shall be reduced by the cost of the utility improvements, as estimated by the serving utility companies. If deferred payment of improvements are approved, the approval shall be by written agreement with adequate security therefore executed by the property owner or authorized representative of property owner, to undertake the improvements or make the payments at the time that the underground utility conversion project is commenced. Standards for modification of obligations in accordance with this section shall be set forth in detail in the master plan.
