RESOLUTION No. 2009-154
A RESOLUTION APPROVING VARIANCES FOR THREE RIVERS PARK DISTRICT FOR TRAIL
SIGNAGE AT NINE SITES ALONG THE LUCE LINE AND MEDICINE LAKE REGIONAL TRAILS
(2009017)
WHEREAS, the Three Rivers Park District has requested approval of variances to allow
installation of trail signage at nine sites along the Luce Line and Medicine Lake Regional Trails
within Plymouth (refer to site plans received on May 21, 2009); and
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public meeting.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by
Three Rivers Park District for signage variances related to the regional trail system, subject to the
following conditions:
1. The requested variances are hereby approved, in accordance with the plans received by the
City on May 21, 2009, except as may be amended by this resolution.
2. The requested variances are approved, based on the finding that all applicable variance
standards have been met. The two signs (park system kiosk and trail kiosk) at Site 1,
located along the Luce Line Trail and Vicksburg Lane, would provide needed information
where the trail changes from asphalt to gravel. Furthermore, the increased height of the
directional signs (from 12 feet to 14 feet — excludes decorative curved top feature) would
help to minimize vandalism of the signs.
3. The variances shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property owner or
applicant has substantially started constriction of the project, or unless the landowner or
applicant has received prior approval from the City to extend the expiration date for up to
one additional year, as regulated under Section 2 103 0. 06 of the Zoning Ordinance.
ADOPTED on July 14, 2009.
