. . . . J RESOLUTION NO. 2501 PAGE FOUR use of areas subject to periodic flooding; to prevent loss of life, property damage, and the losses and risks associated with flood conditions; to reduce the financial burdens imposed upon the community through correction of erosion problems that, with proper foresight, could be avoided; to avoid the financial burden of the need for the community to reclaim its water quality; and to preserve the location, character and extent of natural drainage courses; and WHEREAS, the developer has requested a wetlands alteration permit to work within the 100 foot setback requirement because he claims exceptional circumstances apply to the property which do not apply generally to other properties; and WHEREAS, in the granting of a wetland alteration permit, the City Council must find each of the following in Section 40.26, Subd. D, to be true: (I) Exceptional or extraordinary circumstances apply to the properties which do not apply generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity and result from lot size or shape, topography or other circumstances over which the owners of the property, since enactment of this Code, have no control. (2) The literal interpretation of the provisions of this 90de would deprive the applicant of rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in the same district under the terms of this Code. (3) That the special conditions or circumstances do not result from the actions of the applicant. (4) That granting the wetland alteration permit requested will not confer on the applicant any special privilege that is denied by this Code to owners of other lands, structures or buildings in the same district. (5) That the wetland alteration permit requested is the minimum request which would alleviate the hardship. Economic conditions alone shall not be considered a hardship. (6) The wetland alteration permit would not be materially detrimental to the purpose of this Code, or to other property in the same zone.
