Variances in the KR District may be granted based upon the following findings.
(A) Conditions.
(1) The strict enforcement of the land use controls will result in unnecessary hardship. HARDSHIP, as used, means the property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use under the conditions allowed by the zoning regulations. Economic considerations alone do not constitute a hardship if any reasonable use for the property exists under the terms of this subchapter.
(2) Granting of a variance is not contrary to the purpose and intent of this subchapter and is consistent with the Kettle River Management Plan and the Municipal Comprehensive Plan.
(3) There are exceptional circumstances unique to the property, which were not created by the landowner.
(4) Granting of a variance will not allow any use, which is neither permitted, or a conditional use in the land use district in which the property is located.
(5) Granting of the variance will not alter the essential character of the locality as established by the management plan.
(B) Exceptions. Where a setback pattern from the ordinary high water mark has already been established on both sides of the proposed building site the setback of the proposed structure may be allowed to conform to that pattern.
