CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 2020-73
RESOLUTION APPROVING A LOT LINE REARRANGEMENT OF
985 AND 995 MEDINA ROAD
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the "City") is a municipal corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Michael W. Anderson and Carolyn G. Anderson (the "the Andersons") own
property located at 995 Medina Road (the "Anderson Parcel"), which is legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 1, Green Pastures Farm, according to the recorded plat thereof Hennepin
County, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Oakwood Hill, LLC ("Oakwood") owns property located at 985 Medina
Road (the "Oakwood Parcel"), which is legally described as:
Lot 2, Block 1, Green Pastures Farm, except the North 225 feet of the East 208 feet of
said Lot 2, Hennepin County Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the Anderson Parcel and Oakwood Parcel are collectively referred to herein
as the "Property"; and
WHEREAS, the Andersons and Oakwood are collectively referred to herein as the
"Owners"; and
WHEREAS, the Owners have requested approval of a lot line rearrangement of the
common lot lines between the Anderson Parcel and the Oakwood Parcel; and
WHEREAS, the proposed lot line rearrangement would result in two parcels of land
which are proposed to be legally described as displayed in Exhibit A, attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the requested lot line rearrangement at the
October 6, 2020 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 rearrangement is not in conflict with the general and specific plans of
the City and is not premature.
2) The existing lots do not meet the minimum lot size requirements, but the proposed
rearrangement results in the smaller of the two lots being increased in size. On
balance, this action results in an improved situation and serves the purposes of the
city zoning and subdivision regulations.

3) The lots resulting from the rearrangement are suitable for the type of use
contemplated and the rearrangement is otherwise not in conflict with the findings
noted in Subd. 10 of Section 820.21 of the City Code.
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 A, attached hereto, subject to the following conditions:
1) Approval shall be conditioned upon execution and recordation of deeds conveying the
land between the Owners.

perimeter of each lot.
3) The Owners shall provide proposed legal descriptions for the rearranged lots in electronic
format for use in documents.
4) The Owners shall abide by the directions of the City Attorney related to title and
recording matters.
5) The conveyance and 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.
6) The Owners 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.
