BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina, Minnesota that
the city has reviewed the Applicant's site plan for the Property for its compliance with the
requirements of the Uptown Hamel PUD District. The city council notes that certain goals and
objectives have not been fully satisfied but believes the attached site plan is adequate for the
following reasons:
(a) The approved site plan complies with the maximum front yard setback established by
section 834.05, subd. 4 to the degree possible in light of the location of the existing structure.
(b) The minimum lot size for residential uses established by section 834.05, subd. 8 has
been met to the degree possible in light of the fact this is an existing lot.
(c) The maximum hard surface coverage of 40 percent established by section 834.08, subd.
3(m) is exceeded but is reasonable in light of the fact that the site is already developed, the blacktop
in front of the structure will be removed and that the Property is likely to be used for commercial
purposes again in the future.
(d) The minimum landscaping requirement established by section 834.08, subd. 3(m) will
be met to the degree practicable in light of the existing hard surface coverage.
(e) The design of the fences or walls does not meet the requirements of section 834.08,
subd. 3 (o) but they do not belong to the Property.
(f) The requirement that all utilities be underground found in section 834.08, subd. 3(f) is
not reasonable for existing structures to be used for residential purposes.
