CITY OF MEDINA
RESOLUTION NO. 2023-22
RESOLUTION APPROVING LOT COMBINATION OF
562 HIGHWAY 55 AND ADJACENT TRACT
WHEREAS, the city of Medina (the “City”) is a municipal corporation, organized and
existing under the laws of Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, Arul Jothi Ramalingam and Eswari Arul Jothi (the “Owners”) own two
parcels of land located at 562 Highway 55 and immediately to the east which are legally
described as Parcel 1 and Parcel 2 in Exhibit A, attached hereto (the “Property”); and
WHEREAS, the Owners have requested approval of a lot combination such that the
resulting parcel would be legally described as in Exhibit B, attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, the City Council reviewed the requested lot combination at the February
21, 2023 meeting, reviewed the 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 is not in conflict with the general and specific plans of the
City and is not premature.
2) Although the parcel resulting from the lot combination would not meet minimum lot
size requirements as proposed, the proposed combination results in the lot being
increased in size and brings the Property closer to compliance. This request therefore
serves the purposes of the city zoning and subdivision regulations.
3) The lot resulting from the combination is more suitable for the type of use
contemplated and the combination is not otherwise in conflict with the findings noted
in Subd. 10 of Section 820.21 of the City Code.
4) The combination also meets the requirements contained in Section 820.03 of the City
Code.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of Medina, Minnesota
hereby approves the lot combination such that the resulting parcels shall be legally described as
shown in Exhibit B, attached hereto, subject to the following conditions:
1) The Owners shall abide by any direction of the City Attorney related to title and
recording matters.
2) The lot combination shall be effectuated by the Owners 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.
