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, variances were granted for this project on June 1, 1999 but the Applicant was
unable to construct the replacement deck within a year and the variance lapsed; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant has applied again for the same variances, which application was
reviewed by the planning commission on September 18, 2000 and by the city council on October 3,
2000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that variances be granted to the Applicant 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'

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
