r EXHIB'T B <br />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 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 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 n’ 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 />1.“The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br />conditions allowed by the official controls." <br />2."The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property not <br />created by the landowner.” <br />Coc.a77c.J / .3 /VlTgyeQ) KC.ee. <br />-Tdre P/Vti Tb />/u /yeX.7Y T?tF. <br />3. <br />CCrrrCvd The A/^D crj______________ <br />“The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality." <br />otV/VgV-- C'^ r7>r t/crL^/Cg- ✓cXrv.r ^i.'ijr7pr.i <br />S77l-'rn^c<, 7%r cai=- tH£ <br />"Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship ;f <br />reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter."
