In addition to the foregoing preliminary major site plan approval, variance relief, and design waiver relief, Applicant will also seek approval for any and all other waivers of design standards and/or submission requirements, variances, deviations, interpretations, exceptions, approvals and/or other incidental relief that may be required or deemed necessary by the Planning Board after or during its review of this application, together with any further relief that may be deemed necessary by the Applicant during the hearing process, including that which may be generated by way of revised plans and submission of same to the Planning Board.
