<br />5.8 Section 1013.02 states: Where there are practical difficulties or unusual hardships in <br />the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this code, the city council <br />shall have the pO\\er, in a specific case and after notice and public hearings, to vary <br />any such provision in harmony with the general purpose and intent thereof and may <br />impose such additional conditions as it considers necessary so that the public health, <br />safety, and general welfare may be secured and substantial justice done. <br /> <br />5.9 State Statute 462.357, subd. 6 (2) provides authority for the city to "hear requests for <br />variances from the literal provisions of the ordinance in instances where their strict <br />enforcement would cause undue hardship because of circumstances unique to the <br />individual property under consideration, and to grant such variances only when it is <br />demonstrated that such actions will be in keeping with the spirit and intent of the <br />ordinance. "Undue hardship" as used in connection with the granting of a variance <br />means 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 <br />circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner, and the variance, if <br />granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic considerations <br />alone shall not constitute an undue hardship if reasonable use for the property exists <br />under the terms of the ordinance.... The board or governing body as the case may be <br />may impose conditions in the granting of variances to insure compliance and to <br />protect" <br /> <br />5.10 The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use if used under conditions <br />allowed by the official controls: Currently Mr. Davis is unable to construct any <br />improvements that expand impervious coverage without a variance. He is also unable to <br />realistically reduce impervious coverage through design. Specifically, the ability to attach the <br />garage becomes a complicated structural design challenge, as well as a costly venture. <br />Attaching a garage would also require a variance to the side yard setback. The proposed <br />detached garage could be placed closer to the home, eliminating some of the existing impervious <br />coverage, but the subsequent location would create a difficult back-up maneuver to the narrow <br />driveway. The only other option is to require the detached garage size be reduced to the <br />required 900 sq. ft size. However, staff supports a reduced accessory building size of 960 <br />square feet that meets the needs and desires of the applicant and is practical for the parcel and a <br />reasonable design. The Community Development Staff has determined that the property <br />can be made more livable and put to a reasonable and practical use under the official <br />controls, if a variance not to exceed 470 sq. ft. is granted. <br /> <br />5.11 The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created <br />by the landowner: The Davis home was constructed in 1954 and an average parcel for that <br /> <br />PF3518 - RPCA 090303 - Page 4 of 6 <br />
