The Commission may recommend and the Council may authorize variances from the terms of these Regulations, where an exceptional or extraordinary situation or condition of a tract of land causes the strict application of any regulation enacted herein to result in peculiar and exceptional practical difficulties to, or undue hardship upon the subdivider. Such variance may be given, provided such relief may be granted without detriment to the public good and without impairing intent and purposes of these Regulations. (Prior code §  12-1-1)
