CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. !r4-,.719
ADDITIONAL VARIANCES AT DOCKSIDE
WHEREAS, John M. Spaeth has requested approval of the addi-
tion of second -story decks, 14 x 16 feet in size, on the town-
houses constructed, or to be constructed, on lots 4, 5, 6 and 7,
Dockside; and
WHEREAS, the said decks would fall within the lakeshore
setback on Lots 6 and 7; and
WHEREAS, construction of the said decks would require amend-
ments to the site and construction plans approved by the City
Council on lots 4, 5, 6 and 7.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the
City of Medina as follows:
1. The City Council makes the following findings:
a. In its approval of the Dockside the City approved
10 variances from various provisions of the Medina
Zoning Ordinances.
b. The said variance approvals were conditioned upon
the development of the property in accordance with
the site and building plans approved by the City,
the plat approved by the City and the rezoning ap-
proved by the City.
c. The variances previously granted alleviated any
hardship which may have existed.
d. The applicant has not demonstrated changed circum-
stances which would justify amendments to the con-
ditions on which the original variances were granted
or upon which additional variances are justified, or
which justify amendments to the site and building
plans.
e. The applicant has not demonstrated that the build-
ings and improvements, either existing or proposed,
are unusable if constructed in accordance with the
plans approved.
f. The applicant states that the proposed decks may
enhance the sale of the property, a fact which, if
true, would not meet the standards for variance.
2. The concerns of the City Council expressed in many hearings
and resolutions of the Planning Commission and City Council
in 1980 and 1981, which include inter alia, density of popu-
lation, mass and bulk of buildings, internal traffic, boats
and storage, storm water runoff, lake setbacks, and compati-
bility with single family dwelling neighborhoods, remain
valid concerns today and the proposed amendments to the site
and building plans offer no compensating reduction in inten-
sity of use.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the requested variances and
amendment to the site and building plans are hereby denied.
