variance to reduce the required lakeshore setback from 200 feet to 150 feet and to reduce
the required setback for a septic system from 150 feet to 115 feet to construct a house at
2924 Willowood Farm Road; and
WHEREAS, Sections 825.45 and 720.61 of the City's Code of Ordinances and Minn.
Stat. Section 462.357 require that variances from the strict interpretation of the zoning
and septic ordinances be granted only when there is a demonstrated hardship because of
circumstances unique to the property; and
WHEREAS, the planning commission considered the Applicants' request and has
recommended approval thereof; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has had an opportunity to review the matter and to
hear from the Applicants regarding their request.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina,
Minnesota that the Applicants' request for the above variances is granted, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The variances granted herewith are the maximum setback variances allowed for
this lot;
2. The Applicants must use a mound septic system and the primary site must be
located in close proximity to the house;
3. It is noted that the location of the house above the floodplain, as stated in the
surveyor's letter dated June 12, 1989, is a critical factor in the City's willingness to
grant the requested variances;
4. The septic system must be pumped at least annually and the City must be notified
of the date it is pumped;
5. The City's willingness to grant the requested variance is based on the work done by

record regarding this matter;
6. The Applicants must address the installation of low water usage appliances to the
satisfaction of the City's building inspector;

request was discussed, are to be made a part of the address file for this property;
and
8. 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 this variance application.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Medina that the
variances hereby granted are justified by the topography and soil conditions of the lot.
