An application <br /> wili not be considered complete or piaced on any meeting agendas until this form is <br /> compiete 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 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 /> 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 /> 3. "The variance, if granted, will not.alter the essential character of the locality." <br /> 4. "Economic considerations alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if <br /> reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Zoning Chapter." <br /> N ., \ f�N3'��C <br /> j � <br /> �/ ,�� '�,.] i � '::. .'.� ({ 1 ��� <br /> � 4 <br /> (.� .>:lJI u ,�.v ' " y/•. <br /> �. a .., y : <br /> y� ' r�ty �.:i, ` : ..� '_ f� '� <br /> �� Y• .. �... .Y( <br /> � �� a •:�y' �.,�:-_.,, f; ,_. � .��..,. <br /> .,�.;.. <br />
