RESOLUTION NO.00-50
RESOLUTION GRANTING SETBACK VARIANCE TO
ERIC STROMMEN AND JUDITH STROMMEN FOR A
DECK/PORCH REPLACEMENT AT 2235 CO. RD. 24
WHEREAS, Eric Strommen and Judith Strommen (the "Applicants") are the fee owners of
property located at 2235 Co. Rd. 24 (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property contains a deck and porch which do not comply with the current
rear yard setback requirements applicable to the Property; and
WHEREAS, the deck and porch need to be replaced because of their physical condition
but, once removed, cannot be reconstructed in their current location without a rear yard setback
variance; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission on September 18, 2000
and by the city council on October 3, 2000; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that granting the requested setback variance to permit
reconstruction of the deck and porch is justified by the specified hardship and is in keeping with
neighborhood standards.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that a variance be granted to the Applicants to reduce the required rear yard setback
from 40' to 34' in order to reconstruct a deck and porch on the Property, subject to the following
terms and conditions:
1. The deck and porch must be constructed in substantial compliance with the plans
and specifications presented to and reviewed by the planning commission and city council and must
be no larger than the existing improvements they are intended to replace;

requirements in reconstructing the deck and porch; and
3. The Applicants must complete construction of the new deck and porch 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 variance hereby granted to the Applicants is in compliance with the neighborhood
standards and that a hardship is present on the Property due to the placement of the existing house.
Dated: October 17, 2000.
