CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 2024-08
RESOLUTION APPROVING LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT BETWEEN
1622 DUSTY DRIVE AND 1642 DUSTY DRIVE
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the “City”) is a municipal corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, William L. Reiser and Mary Lou Reiser, Trustees of The Reiser Family
Trust dated December 9, 1998 (the “Reisers”), own property located at 1642 Dusty Drive
(“Parcel A”), and Sally E. Hauser and Robert Hauser (the “Hausers”) own adjacent property at
1622 Dusty Drive (“Parcel B”); and
WHEREAS, Parcel A and Parcel B are legally described on the attached Exhibit A and
are collectively referred to herein as the “Property”; and
WHEREAS, the Reisers and the Hausers have requested approval of a lot line
rearrangement to adjust the property boundary between Parcel A and Parcel B to allow conveyance
of a portion of Parcel A to the Hausers such that the parcels would thereafter be legally described in
Exhibit B, attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the requested lot line rearrangement at the
February 6, 2024 meeting and reviewed information and a recommendation provided by City
staff and accepted testimony of interested parties; and
WHEREAS, following such review the City Council made the following findings:
1) The proposed lot line rearrangement is not in conflict with the general and specific
plans of the City and is not premature.
2) Although Parcel A does not meet minimum lot size requirements and the proposed
rearrangement results in a further reduction in size, the proposed rearrangement also
results in an increase in lot area for Parcel B which is significantly smaller than Parcel
A and similarly does not meet minimum lot size requirements. Accordingly, the
proposed lot line rearrangement results in a net improvement in compliance which
serves the purposes of the City’s zoning and subdivision regulations.
3) The lots resulting from the proposed rearrangement are suitable for the type of use
contemplated and the proposed rearrangement is otherwise not in conflict with the
findings noted in Subd. 10 of Section 820.21 of the City Code.
Resolution No. 2024-08 2
February 6, 2024
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Medina, Minnesota
hereby approves the lot line rearrangement such that the resulting parcels shall be legally
described as shown in Exhibit B, attached hereto, subject to the following conditions:
1) The lot line rearrangement shall be contingent upon recordation of one or more deeds
resulting in the legal descriptions contained in Exhibit B attached hereto, and the
applicants shall abide by any direction of the City Attorney related to title and recording
matters.
2) The lot line rearrangement shall be effectuated within 180 days of the date of this
resolution or the approval shall be considered void, unless a written request for time
extension is submitted by the applicant and approved by the City Council.
3) The applicants shall pay to the City a fee in the amount sufficient to pay for all costs
associated with the review of the lot line rearrangement.
Dated: February 6, 2024.
