CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.2007-09
RESOLUTION GRANTING VARIANCE APPROVAL
FOR 4565 PINE STREET
WHEREAS, Michael and Kalli Alstrom have requested approval of variances from the
required side yard setback and front yard setback within the urban residential zoning district and
also from the maximum allowable impervious surface within the shoreland overlay district for an
addition onto the home located on property legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the variance was reviewed by the Planning Commission on January 9, 2007
and the City Council on February 6, 2007 for conformance with the City's ordinances and
comments from the applicants and other interested parties were heard;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF MEDINA, MINNESOTA, that the following findings of fact were determined:
1. Exceptional and extraordinary circumstances do apply to the property which do not apply
generally to other properties in the same zone or vicinity; and
2. Literal interpretation of the provisions of the ordinance would deprive the applicants of
land use rights commonly enjoyed by other properties in this district; and
3. The location of the home upon the property and the fact that the existing home does not
meet the current requirements for front yard setback represent special conditions that do
not result from actions of the applicants; and
4. Granting of the variance will not confer on the applicant any special privileges that other
owners in this district have not been granted; and
5. The variance requested is the minimum variance that which would alleviate the hardship;
and
6. The variance requested will not be materially detrimental to the purpose of the Ordinance
or to property in the same zoning district.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED BY THE COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MEDINA,
MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does grant approval of the request by Michael and Kalli
Alstrom for variances to reduce the required front yard setback from 30 feet to 25 feet, to reduce
the westerly side yard setback from 10 feet to 7.6 feet, and to increase the maximum allowable
impervious surfaces on the property within the shoreland overlay district from 25% to 32.6% in
order to allow construction an addition to the home and garage at 4565 Pine Street, Hennepin
County, Minnesota, subject to the following terms and conditions:
Resolution No. 2007-09
February 20, 2007
1. The building addition shall be constructed as indicated on the plans received November
29, 2006, except as may be amended by this resolution; and
2. To mitigate those concerns stated by the Department of Natural Resources memo dated

from the site. In order to meet this requirement, the applicant shall construct and
maintain a rain garden or implement an alternative Best Management Practice. The
applicant shall revise the plans to show proposed drainage patterns and storm water
management in compliance with this requirement. The storm water management and best
management practice plan shall meet the design specifications of the City Engineer and
shall be submitted to the engineer for review prior to commencement of any work on the
site; and
3. The applicant shall submit updated plans showing 1-foot contours; and
4. All required permits shall be obtained prior to commencement of any work on the site;
and
5. All erosion and sediment control measures shall be installed and be inspected and
