The following regulations shall govern the granting of variances:
(a) Where the Commission finds that a practical difficulty may result from strict compliance to the Subdivision Regulations, due to exceptional topographic or other physical conditions, it may vary the regulations so as to relieve such hardship, provided such relief may be granted without detriment to the public interest and without impairing the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations or the desirable development of the neighborhood and community. Such variations shall not have the effect of nullifying the intent and purpose of the Subdivision Regulations, the Comprehensive Plan, or the Zoning Ordinance.
(b) If granting variances or modifications, the Commission may require such conditions as well, in its judgment, secure substantially the objective of the standards or requirements so varied or modified.
(c) Any variance granted shall be entered in the minutes of the Commission setting forth the reasons which justify said variance.
(d) A fee, as specified in Section 1113.06, shall be paid to the Commission upon filing reasons which justify said variance.
