WHEREAS, Nicholas C. Lindahl and Carrie L. Lindahl (the "Applicants") are the fee
owners of property located at 1840 Buckskin Drive, which property is legally described as Lot 10,
Block 1, Tally Ho Farms, Hennepin County, Minnesota (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, in order to construct a single family dwelling on the Property, it will be
necessary to construct an individual sewage treatment system (ISTS) within 50' of a designated
wetlands; and
WHEREAS, section 720.05 of the city's code of ordinances requires a setback of 75 feet
from the wetlands; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have requested a variance to reduce the required setback from
75' to 50' for an ISTS on the Property; and
WHEREAS, this matter was considered by the city council on January 2 and January 16,
2001.
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 setback of an ISTS
from designated wetlands from 75 feet to 50 feet, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The ISTS must be designed and installed in compliance with all building code and
other ordinance requirements, including section 720 of the Medina code of ordinances.
2. The variance must be utilized within one year of the date of this resolution by
issuance of a building permit for a single family dwelling or the approval hereby granted will be

3. 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 variance is justified because there exists a hardship due to the fact that the lot cannot be
developed if the ISTS is located at least 75 feet from the wetlands.
Dated: February 6, 2001.
