CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.02-14
RESOLUTION GRANTING SETBACK VARIANCE TO
ANTHONY PATTERSON FOR A HOUSE ADDITION AT
1912 HIGHCREST DRIVE
WHEREAS, Anthony Patterson (the "Applicant") is the fee owner of property located at
1912 Highcrest Drive (the "Property"); and
WHEREAS, the Property contains a sunroom which was constructed pursuant to a sideyard
setback variance granted in 1981; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant wishes to convert the sunroom to living space and to add a room
immediately above the sunroom on the second floor of the house; and
WHEREAS, the proposed second floor addition would also encroach into the minimum
side yard setback and requires a second variance; and
WHEREAS, this matter was reviewed by the planning commission on February 12, 2002
and by the city council on February 19, 2002; and
WHEREAS, it has been determined that granting a setback variance to permit construction
of the requested addition is in keeping with neighborhood standards and will not allow a reduction
in setback any greater than already permitted on the Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the city council of the city of Medina,
Minnesota, that a variance be granted to the Applicant to reduce the required side yard setback on
the Property from 20' to 15' in order to convert the first floor sunroom and add living space
immediately above, subject to the following terms and conditions:

specifications presented to and reviewed by the planning commission and city council;
2. The Applicant must comply with all building code and other ordinance requirements
in constructing the additions; and
3. The Applicant must complete construction 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 Applicant is in compliance with the neighborhood
standards and that a hardship is present due to the placement of the existing house on the Property
and the topography of the lot.
Dated: March 6, 2002.
