Page 1 of 3 <br />HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM <br />This form Is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application <br />will not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is <br />complete and submitted to tnc City. <br />Minnesota State Statue Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be <br />demonstrated in order for a variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the <br />property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic <br />situations are not considered valid hardshifis. In order for an application to be heard by <br />the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be <br />demonstrated. <br />HOW DO I PROVE A HARDSHIP? <br />This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship <br />exists and how the variance will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship, <br />address all the relevant points listed below and answer them as clearly as possible. <br />Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the <br />variance is justified. The information the City receives is what is used in determining a <br />denial or approval recommendation. If you leave something out it will not be considered. <br />Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may <br />not apply); <br />f. <br />2. <br />"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />conditions allowed by the official controls.’ <br />rXy'ck. .vpx ’ Ci\d ^ rice6 <br />ctai ^i\( To Lv-n r\ I A q r* <3vpnH. <br />Covnec*rvn.':i 'n rhvPC-t v Cod f <br />"The plight of the^landowner is due to circum^ances unique to his property not <br />cre^d by the landowner." . <br />/ <br />A/ <br />"The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality.' <br />rilc c-k’. r ai»HV\ dCcArf <br />fVLvL-^ Mnt #-• Af c \C H V f J liinvx rxyid <br />Ei^om^"^^nsiderations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if <br />reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." <br />1,' i4____________________________________________ <br />...c/-. ts U, /a o,<' <br />^--------
