Pursuant to the Pequot Lakes City Ordinance, Section 170.040, the applicant should be prepared at <br /> the public hearing to explain the unique hardship for the proposed variance. A hardship is defined <br /> as a condition whereby the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under <br /> conditions allowed by the official controls, the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances <br /> unique to his property not created by the landowner, and the variance,if granted, will not alter the <br /> essential character of the locality. Economic considerations alone shall not constitute a hardship if <br /> reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of the Ordinance. <br /> (1) What are the unique circumstances of the parcel size, shape, topography or other characteristics <br /> that make strict interpretation of the Ordinance impractical? <br /> (2) How is granting this variance consistent with the intent of the City of Pequot Lakes Land Use or <br /> Subdivision Ordinance? <br /> (3) How will reasonable use of the parcel be deprived if the variance is not granted? <br /> (4) What other options,either conforming or non-conforming,have been considered and why were <br /> those options not chosen? <br /> (5) Describe the impact on the use and enjoyment of other property in the immediate vicinity. If <br /> there is no impact,explain why. <br /> REV: JAN 2005 <br />
