CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO.2019-53
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT COMBINATION FOR
PIDS 18-118-23-24-0116 AND 18-118-23-24-0117
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the "City") is a municipal corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Joan M. Ree (the "Owner") owns two parcels of property located north and
east of Ardmore Avenue (collectively, the "Property"), which are legally described as:
PID 18-118-23-24-0116:
Lot 1, Block 30, Independence Beach, Hennepin County, Minnesota
PID 18-118-23-24-0117:
Lot 2, Block 30, Independence Beach, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Dale Richardson (the "Applicant'), the previous owner of the Property, has
requested, on behalf of the Owner, approval of a lot combination to combine the following
described property into a single parcel;
Lot 2, including %2 of vacated street and Lot 1 including'/2 of vacated street, all in
Block 30, Independence Beach, Hennepin County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the Applicant owned the Property at the time the application was made and
has subsequently conveyed the Property to the Owner; and
WHEREAS, evidence shows that the right-of-way adjacent to the Property is still
dedicated to the public, has never been vacated, and currently contains a public street; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the requested lot combination at the September
3, 2019 meeting and reviewed information and 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 combination of Lots 1 and 2 into a single parcel is not in conflict with the
general and specific plans of the City and is not premature.
2) Although the lot resulting from the combination of Lots 1 and 2 into a single parcel does
not exceed minimum lot standards, it reduces the extent of nonconformance and brings the
Property closer to compliance.
3) The lot resulting from the combination of Lots 1 and 2 into a single parcel is more suitable
for the type of use contemplated, and the combination is otherwise not in conflict with the
Resolution No. 2019-53
September 3, 2019
findings noted in Subd. 10 of Section 820.21 of the City Code, provided the legal
description of the property combined does not include adjacent right-of-way.
4) The proposed combination of Lots 1 and 2 into a single parcel will not conflict with
public streets and right-of-way, provided the legal description of the property combined
does not include adjacent right-of-way.
5) The proposed inclusion of the adjacent rights -of -way within the legal description of the
lot combination conflicts with public streets and right-of-way because evidence shows
that no vacation has ever occurred, and public streets are currently being maintained
within such right-of-way.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Medina, Minnesota
hereby denies the lot combination of the following described property:
Lot 2, including'/ of vacated street and Lot 1 including'/2 of vacated street, all in
Block 30, Independence Beach, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the City Council of Medina, Minnesota hereby
approves the lot combination of the Property such that the combined parcel shall be hereafter
legally described as shown in Exhibit A, attached hereto.
Dated: September 3, 2019.
