� Page 1 of 3 . � <br /> HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM � <br /> This form is a required submittal for ALL variance app[ications. An application <br /> wili not be considered complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is <br /> complete and submitted to the City. <br /> Minnesota State Statutes 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 1 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 /> >r4'. <br /> �..---^- �.� a'YLn- \"�,, <br /> ' .� ��r.';_� ''t' r':.I <br /> • _�� - �,- ., - � `'.� ��;�� <br /> ,,,�-.�,Y;:� . . , :; r;:, <br /> • �. •_��':�, - . .. `'��:::�::%�� e <br /> . : .�..� .'; _ '; '� �:~;:�r :'�, <br />
