feet in size; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called
Public Hearing and recommends approval based on the characteristics of the use being in
compliance with the intent of the zoning district; and

the City of Medina, Minnesota, that it should and hereby does approve the request by
Three Rivers Park District for a variance to allow construction of the building authorized
by this amended conditional use permit, in accordance with the plans and specifications
that were approved by the Planning Commission and City Council, subject to the
following findings and conditions:
A. The variance to allow a building constructed of over 20% with metal is
approved. based on the following findings:

degradation.

3. The special conditions are not self-created as the building would
improve safety, protect the environment and is out of sight from the
general public.
4. The variance would not confer on the applicant any special privileges
that are denied to other lands. The accessory building is small in size
given the excessive size of the property.
5. The variance request is the minimum necessary to eliminate hardship
as it relates to safety and environmental protection.
6. The variance would not be materially detrimental to the ordinance or
property in the same zone, as the building would maintain at least a
2,000-foot setback from any property line.
B. A building permit is required prior to construction of the new accessory
building.
