(b)        such modification is the least modification required to achieve the purpose for which it is granted;

(c)        the requested modification will not disturb the drainage pattern and soil conditions of the area;

(d)        the requested modification has minimal impact on the existing natural topography and vegetation and blends harmoniously with it; and

(e)        such modification will enhance the quality of the design of the development, enlargement or site alteration.
