The removal of an entire stand of trees. 68.1 Hardship. A situation where property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by the official controls; the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to his property, not created by the landowner; and the variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality. Economic con- siderations alone shall not constitute a hardship if a reasonable use for the property exists under terms of the official controls. 112 Should be amended to read: Public Waters (Protected Waters).

In addition, bodies of water created by private users, where there was no previous shoreland (for a designated private use authorized by the Commissioner of Natural Resources) shall also not be considered public waters and thus exempt from the provisions of Section 917 of this Ordinance. The official determination of the size and physical limits of drainage areas of rivers and streams shall be made by the Commissioner of Natural Resources. The official size of lakes, ponds, or flowages shall be the areas listed in the Division of Waters, Soils and Minerals Bulletin 25, an Inventory of Minnesota Lakes, or in the event that lakes, ponds or flowages are not listed therein, official determination of size and physical limits shall be made by the Commissioner in cooperation with the City of Little Canada. 164.1 Substandard Shoreland Use.
