Richard Berthiaume explained his concern regarding use of Tamarack Dr. and Blackfoot Tr.
by those attending and participating in a demolition derby on the Jubert property. He
was concerned because there is a driveway onto Blackfoot Tr. from the Jubert property
and his agreement with the city limited the number of driveways that could exit onto
Blackfoot. He also noted that vehicles were making the turn from Tamarack Dr. onto
Blackfoot Tr. at speeds to fast for the corner and perhaps the city should look into
reducing the speed limit in that area; also he suggested that the city look into the
possibility of policing the area if derbies are to continue.

officers to police such events and traffic in connection with such events.

allowed to continue. He also asked that the Road Department investigate alternatives for
provideding a safer turn from Tamarack Dr. onto Blackfoot Tr.

Attorney, Jim Tiller, presented information regarding granting a variance for an office
addition to the Medina Automotive building. He stated that some states recognize a hard-
ship if a structure is obsolete to an area which the buyer of this property feels is the
case in that structural changes must be made to the building in order to meet his business
requirements. He explained that this is a unique situation in that the circumstances in-
volved do not apply to any other building in the immediate area.
Clyde Jorgenson, owner of Lot 6, stated that they hail purchased Lots 4 and 5 and would be
constructing buildings similar to their existing building; will not need a variance but
did secure a 5 ft. side yard variance for Lot 6.
Mr. Tiller presented a petition of approval signed by owners of the other 5 lots in the plat.
Motion by Reiser, seconded by Laurent to accept the petition.

cities in the U.S., their warehouse is in Osseo. This office would be the main office for
their entire business.
Thomas Anderson asked for long range expansion plans.
Mr. Freeburg presented plan indicating addition to the warehouse and explained that there
are 5 people in the office and various salesmen in and out from time to time.
44Mayor Anderson asked if Council wished to act on the variance request or require that the
developer go to the Board of Appeals.
Thomas Crosby asked for comments from Richard Schieffer.
He offered the following suggestions:.
If Council takes the position that every building may become obsolete then the use of
variances should be expanded.as everyone -with a set -back problem may be seeking variances.
Motion by Crosby, seconded by Reiser to grant a 19 ft. set -back variance to Keehn Bros.
for construction of an office addition to the existing Medina Automotive building on Lot
2, Block 1, Medina Creekside Addition, recognizing the following hardships:
1. Irregular shape of lot
2. Inability of owner to effect a new use consistant with upgrading of adjacent lots.
3. Original placement of building may have failed to.use lot in its most efficent manner.
4. There is a probabilityof vacating the cul de sac which would then result in a
4 foot front yard variance.
In approving the variance the Council notes that proposed use is more consistant with and
more desireable than existing use as it relates to the immediate area; also Council is not
approving the proposed addition these plans must be referred to the Planning Commission
for consideration of landscaping, parking and other building aspects.
Motionearried Voting No, Thomas Anderson; Abstainingparah Lutz

allowance, per month, paid semi-annually, after the 6 month time period, to encourage

Richard Schieffer explained that the ordinance is a result of Council direction in 1978
to amend ordinance regarding two family dwellings in sewered areas.
Thomas Anderson asked if an application received prior to adoption of the ordinance amend-
ment would need to comply with the ordinance.
Richard Schieffer explained that the Courts have decided that a City has the authority to
change the rules during the time a project is being considered. He stated that at the
time the applicant filed a combination/division of the property in Independence Beach he
may not have known the set -back requirements nor was not aware of sewer assessments that
would be needed for multiple dwellings.
