� . 'PC �xh�bti� $ <br /> . , • <br /> � HARDSHIP DOCUMENTATION FORM <br /> This form is a required submittal for ALL variance applications. An application will not be considered <br /> complete or placed on any meeting agendas until this form is complete and submitted to the City. <br /> Minnesota State Statutes Section 394.27, Subdivision 7 requires that a hardship be demonstrated in order for a <br /> variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the property as variances run with the land and not the <br /> land owner. Persona/ and economic situafions are not considered valid hardships. In order for an application to <br /> be heard by the Planning Commission and City Council a hardship having merit must be 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 exists and how the variance <br /> will affect the surrounding community. To prove a hardship, address all the relevant points listed below and � <br /> answer them as clearly as possible. <br /> Since you are requesting the code exception, you have the burden of proving that the variance is justified. <br /> The information the City receives is what is used in determining a denial or approval recommendation. If you <br /> leave something out it will not be considered. <br /> • Please address each of these hardship criteria as they relafe fo the request if they do nof app/y, write N/A in the <br /> space provided: <br /> 1.
