               The county board of commissioners or the county planning board may authorize a variance
               from these regulations when, in its opinion, undue hardship may result from strict
               compliance. In granting any variance, the board of commissioners or the county planning
               board shall make the findings required below, taking into account the nature of the
               proposed subdivision, the existing use of land in the vicinity, the number of persons
               to reside or work in the proposed subdivision and the probable effect of the proposed
               subdivision upon traffic conditions in the vicinity.

               The planning board or board of commissioners may authorize a variance, if such variance
               can be made without destroying the intent of this chapter. Any variance thus authorized
               is required to be entered in writing in the minutes of the planning board or board
               of commissioners, and the reasoning on which the departure was justified shall be
               set forth;
