CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 96-54
RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE TO DAWN CRAWFORD
AND ROSS LEWIS
WHEREAS, Dawn Crawford and Ross Lewis (the "Applicants") are the owners of the
property located at 4600 Pine Street (the "Subject Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Applicants wish to construct a deck on the back of the house on the Subject
Property; and
WHEREAS, the deck would extend to within 21.7 feet of the rear yard line of the Subject
Property; and
WHEREAS, the city zoning ordinance requires that all structures maintain a 30-foot rear yard
setback under such circumstances; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission at its meeting of September
11, 1996 and by the city council at its meeting of October 1, 1996.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina that a
variance be granted to the Applicants to reduce the rear yard setback from 30 feet to 21.7 feet, for a
deck at the Subject Property, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The deck must be constructed in accordance with the plans and specifications
submitted to and approved by the city;
2. The Applicants must pay to the city an administrative fee in an amount necessary to
reimburse the city for its costs in reviewing this application; and
3. This variance shall be valid for one year from the date of this resolution. If
construction of the deck is not started within said period of time by issuance of a
building permit and initiation of actual construction, the approval hereby granted shall
thereafter be null and void.

ME230-8
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina that the rear yard
setback variance hereby granted is justified by the hardship created by the depth of the lot. It is further
the view of the city council that no harm will be done in granting the variance because the properties to
the rear of the Subject Property are unbuildable.
Dated: October 15, 1996.
