�oNO CITY OF ORONO <br /> y� PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES WORKSHEET <br /> `gKESHOi�G <br /> FOR VARIANCES <br /> Minnesota State Statutes Section .462 357, Subd. 6(2) and City Code Section 78-123 require that practical difficulties <br /> be demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The difficulties must be unique to the property as variances run <br /> with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid practical difficulties. <br /> HOW DO I PROVE A PRACTICAL DIFFICULTY? <br /> This form has 12 points outlining the basis the City uses to determine if practical difficulties exist and how the variance <br /> will affect the surrounding community. To prove practical difficulties, address all the relevant points listed below and <br /> answer them as clearly as possible. <br /> Since you are requesting the code variance or exception,you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified. <br /> The information you provide to the City is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. <br /> Do not fill out this sheet. There will be space within your online application to provide these criteria. <br /> 1.
