Page 1 of3 HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM L This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City. Minnesota State Statue Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hards nip be demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic situations are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be demonstrated. HOW DO I PROVE A HARDSHIP? This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship, address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible. Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance Is Justified. The information the City receives is what is used in dete .nining a denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered. Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may not apply): 1.The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official controls.* /~‘iiL>^ k 1/L.<h&y <- c..-? ^ a-tioi > /rt_ inli pIpfiuiCa f A U n/.\ a d Tfi.ro /t\ J__________ 2.du^Td created by the landowner. to circumstances unique to his property not created by the lanoowner."
