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 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 umque to the <br />property as variances run with the land and not the land owner. Personal and economic <br />situations are not considered 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? ^ ^ v. <br />This form has 12 points outlining the basis City staff uses to determine if a hardship <br />exists nnd 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 />"The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />conditions allowed by the official controls." <br />fhtfi zV/g/- Tj en'h/AyA//<.\r > <br />1. <br />■r.T/rr',A,<- A?T/crr <br />2."The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not <br />created by the landowner." <br />3. “The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. <br />4.
