CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.01-03
RESOLUTION REGARDING VARIANCES AT 2971
ARDMORE AVENUE
WHEREAS, Raymond P. Wald and Kathryn A. Wald (the "Applicants") are the fee
owners of property located at 2971 Ardmore Avenue, which property is currently legally described
as Lot 11 and the east 20.00 feet of Lot 10, Block 20, Independence Beach, Hennepin County,
Minnesota (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have requested permission to construct a 10' x 20' garage
addition which would require reducing the side yard setback from 10' to 7.7' and an addition to the
kitchen measuring 10' x 18', which would require variances to reduce the front yard setback from
Pine Street from 30' to 25.7' and to reduce the rear yard setback from 30' to 29'; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission on December 12, 2000
and by the city council on December 19, 2000; and
WHEREAS, the planning commission recommended granting variances from the front
yard setback from Pine Street and the rear yard setback variance for the kitchen addition but denial
of the side yard setback variance for the garage.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that variances be granted to the Applicants to reduce the required front yard setback
from Pine Street from 30' to 25.7' and to reduce the required rear yard setback from 30' to 29' for a
kitchen addition, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The kitchen addition must be constructed in substantial compliance with the plans
and specifications presented to and reviewed by the planning commission and city council;

2. The Applicants must comply with all building code and other ordinance
requirements in constructing the kitchen addition;
3. The Applicants must complete construction of the kitchen addition within one year
of the date of this resolution or the approval hereby granted will be null and void; and
4. The Applicants must pay to the city an administrative fee in the amount necessary to
reimburse the city for the cost of reviewing this application.
The above variances are justified because there exists a hardship due to the location of the original
structure on the lot and the fact that it is on a corner and subject to two front yard setbacks.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of
Medina that the variance for a side yard setback for the garage addition is hereby denied because
there is no hardship relating to the Property which justifies granting the variance.
