CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.01-62
RESOLUTION DENYING SETBACK VARIANCE AT 565
HACKAMORE ROAD
WHEREAS, Dale Gronberg and Jodi Gronberg (the "Applicants") are the fee owners of
property located at 565 Hackamore Road (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property is zoned rural residential (RR) and contains a single family
dwelling with an attached two -car garage; and
WHEREAS, the minimum side yard setback within the RR zoning district is 20 feet; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have proposed to construct an addition to their existing garage
which would extend to within 6.1 feet of the side lot line; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission at a public hearing on
November 13, 2001, after which hearing the planning commission recommended against granting
the setback variance; and
WHEREAS, the city council considered the matter at its meeting of November 20, 2001.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that the variance requested by the Applicants be denied because the Applicants have
failed to demonstrate a hardship for the following specific reasons:
1. The requested variance is too large because it reduces the required setback from 20
feet to 6.1 feet;
2. Other options exist on the Property for additional garage space;
3. The Applicants are able to make reasonable use of the Property without the variance;
and

4. Granting a variance for additional garage space is a luxury because the house on
the Property already has a two -car garage.
