    Waiver. The Planning Board, in its discretion, may waive any of the requirements of the preceding subsection, provided that the Board determines that the proposed site plan alterations are so minimal that to require full compliance with the provisions of § 101-6A would be unnecessarily financially burdensome to the applicant and would not advance the purpose of this chapter.
