� ' PC 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 situations are nof 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.
