|T <br />HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM <br />Page 1 of 3 <br />This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application <br />wil! not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is <br />complete and submitted to the 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 considend valid hardships. 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 wil! not be considered. <br />Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request (some may <br />not apply); <br />1.“The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />conditions allowed by the official controls.' <br />f <br />2. “The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not <br />created by the landowner." <br />Our \o^ -VWi- 2.-<a.cv4. w\irum»wn \.ua s C vto ^<-( , <br />cxv ^lS -tV\f.v<L tr:> o.r:Ut c<r . <br />cuWi ^ <br />3. “The variance, if granted., will not alter the essential character of the Iccality." <br />- rOo:>T Cr( -^Vvu.
