REVOKING RESOLUTION 2014-36
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the "City") is a municipal corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Lorain Maintenance of Way (the "Applicant"), owns property located at

and
WHEREAS, on June 17, 2014, the City adopted resolution 2014-36, granting site plan

WHEREAS, before commencing construction of the storage building, the Applicant
requested that the size of the building be increased to 4,400 square feet; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that a full review of the amended site plan
is not necessary because the proposed increase in size of the storage building does not

which can be approved administratively; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that, subject to the terms and conditions contained
herein, the proposed construction is consistent with the requirements of City ordinances,
including the applicable development standards and the purpose of the Industrial Park zoning
district.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Medina, Minnesota

terms and conditions:
1) Except as modified herein, construction shall be consistent with the plans received by the
