The board may, even if one of the conditions provided in subparagraphs 1, 2 and 3 of the first paragraph of section 39 and paragraph 2 of section 41 are not fulfilled, decide to issue a permit if, at the time of the application, the applicant, as the case may be,(1) is the holder of a promise to purchase or to lease the establishment conditional to obtaining the permit and undertakes to become the owner or the lessee of the establishment within the period fixed by the board;
(2) produces a detailed plan of the projected arrangement of the establishment and furnishes a sufficient undertaking to comply with the standards prescribed within the period fixed by the board; or
