CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.2005-04
RESOLUTION GRANTING APPROVAL OF A VARIANCE FOR
2874 LAKESHORE AVENUE
WHEREAS, Duane and Vicki Keskitalo have requested approval of a 7-foot variance
from the 30-foot front -yard setback requirement for the 6,000 square foot property legally
described as follows:
Lot 5, Block 28 Independence Beach
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that not granting the variance would deprive the
applicants of rights enjoyed by other properties in the same district; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that extraordinary circumstances do exist because
the lot has two 30-foot setback requirements which represent a large portion of a small -
size lot; and
WHEREAS, the lot is a substandard lot due to size, and a porch was previously located
on the lot; and
WHEREAS, the proposed porch does not encroach any further than the existing deck
and the City finds that the variance is the minimum action necessary to alleviate the
hardship; and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission on December 14, 2004 reviewed the application
for its conformance with the City's ordinances and heard comments from the applicant
and other interested parties,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Medina,
Minnesota that a variance be granted to Duane and Vicki Keskitalo for the property
described above, subject to the following terms and conditions:
1. The applicant must obtain a building permit prior to beginning construction.

the City on October 27, 2004.

of approval.
