� Council <br /> � � Exhibit B <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 462.357, Subdivision 6(2) requires that a hardship be demonstrated in order for <br /> a Variance to be granted. The hardship must be unique to the property as variances run with the land and not the <br /> land owner. Personal and economic sifuations 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 /> P/ease address each of these hardship criteria as they relate to the request, if they do not apply, write N/A in the <br /> space provided: <br /> 1. "The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions allowed by the official <br /> controls.° <br /> �l��1 <br /> 2. "The plight of the landowner is due to circu tances unique to his property not created by the landowner." <br /> b 2✓1S � f�i �!i f5 � li, t�'L37 � 5� <br /> ► � t Y'rJCc. �lx� <br /> C�'�'�u.t,'rr9�5 • <br /> 3. °The vari ce, if granted, v�ill not alter the essential character of fhe loc.ality." . • <br /> �nd '/ ' L'V�►' � ,..I ��DY! ° GV�'l , <br /> 6 � - � � ou, � <br /> wndu-�iLr� �r r�v�Gvr�►e . <br /> � 4.
