The city council of the city of Medina ordains as follows: SECTION I. Medina Code Section 820.05 is amended by deleting the stfieken material and adding the underlined material as follows: Section 820.05. Application for Exception. The owner or owners of such lots, tracts, or parcels to be so divided or consolidated shall file in the office of the Zoning Administrator an application for such division or consolidation together with the following information: Subd. 1. Survey. A survey of the proposed division showing the dimensions of all lands included therein, the boundaries of said lands, the locations of all buildings and other encroachments, and the location of all proposed construction. The Zoning Administrator may recommend, and the City Council may approve, waiver of the survey requirement in cases where the property previously was platted; where the property is to be combined with land that already meets criteria for a building site; or where a deed restriction is filed to prohibit future construction of a building on the property. In order to grant a waiver, the City Council shall find that the survey requirement would be unnecessary to any future use of the land; or would create a discrepancy in the title or be at variance with longstanding use of the land. If a survey is waived, then a scaled drawing may be required. Subd. 2. Soils. Location of test holes, hydrological data, and soils information including the 19711 most current Hennepin County Soils Survey overlay designation of the types of soils and the amounts of each soil type for each lot, and any other information as recommended by the City Engineer, from which it can be determined that the proposed uses of the subject property area are feasible. In areas that are designated by the city as "rural," soils calculations must be submitted for each parcel, including the existing parcel, and must designate each type of soil. Subd. 3.
