RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCES
FOR RICHARD TOOMEY AND KAREN TOOMEY
WHEREAS, Richard Toomey and Karen Toomey (Applicants) have requested a
variance to reduce the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 23.33 feet to
construct a detached garage at 3052 Lakeshore Avenue; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have also requested a variance to permit the
detached garage to contain 1,384 square feet rather than the 1,000 square feet
limitation imposed by the City's ordinance; and
WHEREAS, Section 825.45 of the City's Code of Ordinances and Minn. Stat.
Section 462.357 require that variances from the strict interpretation of the
zoning ordinance be granted only when there is a demonstrated hardship because
of circumstances unique to the property; and
WHEREAS, the planning commission considered the Applicants' requests and
recommended approval of the setback variance but denial of the variance for
the oversizedd building; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has had an opportunity to review the matter and
to hear from the Applicants regarding their requests.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina,
Minnesota that the Applicants' requests for variances to reduce the rear yard
setback from 30 feet to 23.33 feet and to increase the building size from
1,000 square feet to 1,384 square feet for a detached garage, are hereby
granted, subject to the following conditions:
1. The old garage and pad shall be removed;
2. The elevation of the new garage shall be reviewed by the staff;
3. The Applicants shall reimburse the city for all costs, including
legal expenses, involved in enforcing any provision of this variance
or any ordinance related thereto; and
4. The Applicants shall pay to the city a fee in the amount determined
by the staff to represent the actual cost to the city of reviewing
these variance applications.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City of Medina that the
hardships justifying granting the rear yard setback variance are the shape of
the lot and the soil conditions and the hardship justifying granting the
variance for an oversized building is the soil conditions which prevent the
attachment of the garage to the house.
