<br />City staff does not find this proposal to be detrimental to the public health, welfare, or injurious <br />to other property in the territory in which the property is situated as this development is internal <br />to itself and all units will be affected by this change. This does not impact adjacent properties. <br /> <br />In addition, under Minnesota law, we find that practical difficulty has been met, meaning (1) the <br />property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner permitted by the ordinance, <br />(2) the owner's plight is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the property <br />owner. <br /> <br />The request for variance is not based on an economic hardship and solely based on the physical <br />aspects of the configuration of the site and is the best and highest use of the property. <br /> <br />Public Hearing: <br />A Final Plat, Rezoning, and Variance requires a Public Hearing and the City Council will open the <br />hearing at their October 26, 2022 meeting to take comment from the public. At that time, they will <br />consider comments from the public and application from the Planning Commission. Public hearing <br />notice letters were sent to addresses within 350 feet of the parcel as well as to the Pioneer Press <br />for publication. <br /> <br />Next Steps: <br />The proposed development will follow the process schedule below: <br />o 2023 – Planning Commission and City Council – Final Plat 2nd Addition <br />o 2023/2024 – Planning Commission and City Council – Final Plat 3rd Addition <br /> <br />RECOMMENDED ACTIONS <br />1.
