CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.2007-51
RESOLUTION GRANTING PRELIMINARY PLAT WITH VARIANCES
FOR PROPERTY LOCATED NORTH OF NAVAJO ROAD AND
GENERALLY EAST OF TAMARACK DRIVE
WHEREAS, Bradley Moen and Michael Leuer (the "Applicants") have applied to the
city of Medina (the "City") for preliminary approval to allow a seven lot subdivision located
north of Navajo Road and generally east of Tamarack Drive (the "Subject Property"), which land
is legally described on Exhibit A attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the preliminary plat of the Subject Property, to be known as Tuckborough
Ridge, was reviewed by the Planning Commission at its meeting on July 10, 2007 and, following
a public hearing thereon as required by law, the Planning Commission recommended approval
thereof, subject to certain terms and conditions; and
WHEREAS, the Applicants have requested approval of variances from the City's
subdivision regulations to allow a 1,050-foot cul-de-sac and a 1,250-foot cul-de-sac; and
WHEREAS, the City Council on September 18, 2007 reviewed the preliminary plat with
variances for its conformance with the City's ordinances, considered the recommendations of the
Planning Commission and heard comments from the Applicants and other interested parties; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the physical elements of the site limit the
landowner's ability to locate the roadways in any other fashion which dictates the cul-de-sac
lengths and justifies the requested variances; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that these topographical conditions are unique to the
Subject Property; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that the requested variances for length of cul-de-sac
will not be detrimental to the public welfare.

plat of Tuckborough Ridge, subject to the following terms and conditions:
