8/2/2021 View File Exhibit B <br /> PRACTICAL DIFFICULTIES DOCUMENTATION FORM <br /> LA21-000050 <br /> 1. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted <br /> by the Zoning Chapter. <br /> Response: The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality and will fit in <br /> with the existing homes and place this property in line with 2905 and 2927 and eventually 2925 when <br /> it is rebuilt (planned for the next year or two) and will remain within the hardcover limits. <br /> 2. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not created <br /> by the landowner. <br /> Response: Correct. <br /> 3. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br /> Response: Correct. <br /> 4. Economic considerations alone do not constitute practical difficulties if reasonable use <br /> for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter. <br /> Response: Understood; this application is to ensure the new home fits in the character of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> 5. Practical difficulties include, but are not limited to, inadequate access to direct sunlight S <br /> for solar energy systems. Variances shall be granted for earth-sheltered construction as <br /> defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 1163.06, Subd. 2, when in harmony with this <br /> Chapter. <br /> Response: Understood; not applicable. <br /> 6. The Board of Appeals and Adjustments or the Council may not permit as a variance any <br /> use that is not allowed under this Chapter for property in the zone where the affected <br /> person's land is located. <br /> Response: Not applicable. <br /> 7. The Board or Council may permit as a variance the temporary use of a one-family <br /> dwelling as a two-family dwelling. <br /> Response: Not applicable. <br /> 8. The special conditions applying to the structure or land in question are peculiar to such <br /> property or immediately adjoining property. <br /> Response: The property adjoining this home has a home that is set back further and than most <br /> homes in the neighborhood and will be repositioned in line with other homes when it is rebuilt in the <br /> next year or two. Furthermore, moving the home back would trigger a separate rear-line setback; <br /> conforming to both set-backs simultaneously makes rebuilding a practical impossibility. <br /> https://www2.citizenserve.com/Admin/PermitController?Action=ListPermits&WorkOrder_ID=83848204&ciDisplay=null&getPrint=true 1/2 <br />
