CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.99-33
RESOLUTION GRANTING SETBACK VARIANCES TO
HARVEY ANDERSEN FOR A DECK REPLACEMENT AT
3121 LAKESHORE AVENUE
WHEREAS, Harvey Andersen (the "Applicant") is the fee owner of property located at
3121 Lakeshore Avenue (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property contains a deck which does not comply with the current setback
requirements applicable to the Property; and
WHEREAS, the deck needs to be replaced because of its physical condition but, once
removed, cannot be reconstructed in its current location without variances for setbacks; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission on May 11, 1999 and
by the city council on May 18, 1999; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that granting the requested setback variances to permit
reconstruction of the deck is justified by specified hardships and is in keeping with neighborhood
standards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that variances be granted to the Applicant for the Property to reduce the required side
yard setback from 10' to 6.4' and the required setback from the mean high water mark of Lake
Independence from 75' to 37' in order to reconstruct a deck on the Property, subject to the
following terms and conditions:
1. The deck must be constructed in substantial compliance with the plans and
specifications presented to and reviewed by the planning commission and city council;

2. The Applicant must comply with all building code and other ordinance requirements
in reconstructing the deck; and
3. The Applicant must complete construction of the new deck within one year of the
date of this resolution or the approval hereby granted will be null and void.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina, Minnesota, that
the setback variances hereby granted to the Applicant are in compliance with the neighborhood
standards and are justified by the following three hardships:
a) the size of the Property;
b) the topography of the Property; and
c) the need to reconstruct the deck for reasons of safety.
Dated: June 1,1999.
