This request therefore serves the purposes of the city zoning and subdivision regulations. 3) Adding the narrow portion of land to Parcel 2 is more suitable for the type of use contemplated. 4) The lot line rearrangement is not otherwise 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 B, attached hereto, subject to the following conditions: 1) The Applicants and the Parcel 1 Owners shall abide by any direction of the City Attorney related to title and recording matters. 2) The Applicants shall pay to the City a fee in an amount sufficient to reimburse the City for the cost of reviewing the lot line rearrangement and other relevant documents. 3) The lot line rearrangement 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.
