Prevent htaccess from affecting ajax file requests

I have some rewrite rules in my .htaccess file for clean URLs, and I also need AJAX calls in my web pages. I have problems with ajax file requests because of the rewrite rules. Here is my htaccess file content:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteBase /~mavili/loran/orders/
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]

When I do something like this: 

$.ajax({
    type: 'get',
    url: 'http://domain.com/misc/page.php',
    success: function(data) {
        $('#load_content').html(data);
    },
    error: function() {
       $('#load_content').html('Error: Unable to load file.');
    }
});

the request for http://domain.com/misc/page.php goes through the htaccess rewrite rules and messes everything. Is there any way to prevent AJAX calls from going through htaccess settings?

One way of making Ajax request skip the rules is sticking a dummy query parameter in the URL e.g. this:

$.ajax({
    type: 'get',
    url: 'http://domain.com/misc/page.php&skip=1',
    success: function(data) {
        $('#load_content').html(data);
    },
    error: function() {
       $('#load_content').html('Error: Unable to load file.');
    }
});

And have your rewrite rules like this to skip all requests with ?skip=1 query parameter:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d    
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !^skip=1$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?route=$1 [L,QSA]
