WHEREAS, the owner Mr. John Spaeth has requested several set -back variances in
order to construct Low-rise and Town -House Condominium :Dwelling Units, including
remodeling of the existing Inn which is located on property bounded by Lake Inde-
pendence, Co. Rd. 19, Lakeshore Avenue and Baker Park.
. WHEREAS, the site is irregular in shape, too narrow at the south end to meet
city set -back requirements and the present structure is in violation of set -back
requirements.
WHEREAS, the following facts have a bearing on this resolution.
1. Variances for set -backs are common to the Independence Beach area due to
irregular shaped lots.
2. The Zoning Code permits 11 dwelling units in a R-2 (Multi -Family District)
and that district permits 50' front yards, 10' side yards, and 2 % of lot
depth, but not less than 40' or greater than 75' for rear yards.
5. The City policy for lake shore is 75' but is not addressed in the Zoning
Ordinance or mandated by The Dept. of Natural Resources.
4. The City doesn't have right of way for the south of Lakeshore Avenue and
snow and drainage easements should be obtained.
5. There are only seven sewer assessments applied to the property, but the
City would like more use to solve a flow problem.
6. On -Street parking is non existant.
7. Eleven apartment units will generate more taxes than will the present facility.
8. The hard surface area will not exceed the present use.
THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Medina.
1. The City will permit set -back variances due to physical limitations of the
site if the following items are complied with:

C. That the fence meet the City Fence Ordinance including the 45° angle
