RESOLUTION 2008-132
APPROVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT AND VARIANCE TO ALLOW AN 18,945 -
SQUARE FOOT BUILDING EXPANSION AND FRONT YARD PARKING SETBACK FOR
RBC TILE & STONE LOCATED AT 1820 BERKSHIRE LANE NORTH (2008012)
WHEREAS, Rollin B. Child, Inc. has requested approval of a site plan amendment and variance
for an 18,945 -square foot building expansion and front yard parking setback located at 1820
Berkshire Lane North, for property legally described as:
That part of the South 281.50 feet of Lot 2, Block 4, Minneapolis Industrial Park 2"a Addition,
lying West of a line drawn perpendicular to the South line of said Lot 2, and from a point therein
distant 7.50 feet West of the Southeast corner of said Lot 2, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called public meeting
and recommends approval.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by Rollin B.
Child, Inc. for a site plan amendment and variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. A site plan amendment is approved to allow constriction of an 18,945 -square foot one-story
warehouse expansion, in accordance with the application materials received by the City on
February 21, 2008, except as amended by this resolution.
2. A variance is approved to allow a 25 -foot front yard parking setback along Watertower Circle
where 50 feet is required by the Zoning Ordinance, based on the finding that:
a. The shape and existing conditions of the lot in association with the placement of the
building and existing parking lot restrict the area for logical building expansion on the site.
The industrial use of the property requires a large area for trick maneuvering.
b. The conditions relating to the hardship are not generally applicable to other properties in
the I-2 zoning district. The placement of the building and existing parking lot restrict the
area for logical building expansion on the site. The industrial use of the property requires
a large area for trick maneuvering.
c. The purpose of the variance is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the value or
income potential of the parcel of land. The applicant is proposing the expansion to
facilitate sustainability and growth of the company and improve the movement of traffic
throughout the parking lot.

d. The hardship is caused by the Zoning Ordinance and has not been self-created. The
building was constricted in 1966 and purchased by the applicant in 1987.
e. Granting the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
f. The variance would allow a reasonable use of the land and would not be detrimental to the
public welfare or injurious to other land in the neighborhood. The addition would not
impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, endanger public safety,
increase congestion of the public streets, increase the danger of fire or substantially
diminish property values in the neighborhood. The requested should help to alleviate the
congestion by containing trick movement on site rather than on the public street.
g. The requested variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship while
giving the applicant opportunity to expand the growing company.

parking lot/2radin2 work is not done in conjunction with the building expansion.
