The statutory language was recently revised <br /> to reflect demonstration of a practical difficulty when granting a zoning code variance. The revision of <br /> the statute results in inconsistencies between the City's Code and the requirements in MN State Chapter <br /> 462. . <br /> � The City Attorney has proposed revised language which is consistent with State Statute. The revised <br /> language proposes to change undue hardship references to practical difficulty in order to maintain <br /> consistency between Sta.te Statute and Orono's zoning codes. <br /> Page <br /> 15 - <br />
