Site plan amendments to allow a 56 -stall parking expansion on properties located at 9909 South Shore Drive and 1605 State Highway 169 and variances to allow 76.8 -percent impervious surface area coverage at 9909 South Shore Drive and 77.9 -percent impervious surface area coverage at 1605 State Highway 169 are approved in accordance with the application materials received by the City on August 28, 2008, and revised plans received by the City on October 3, 2008, and October 28, 2008, except as amended by this resolution. 2. The variances are approved with the finding that all applicable variance standards are met, as follows: a. The circumstances related to this request are not generally applicable to other properties in the I-2 and I-3 districts. Nearly all of the industrial -zoned properties in the City of Plymouth are located out of shoreland overlay districts. b. The requested variances are not based exclusively upon a desire to increase land value or income potential of the property, but to provide more convenient parking spaces for the tenants in the building located 9909 South Shore Drive. c. The conditions relating to the hardship were not created by the applicant, but rather were created by the original development of theses properties as industrial uses in the 1960's. The applicant would decrease the impervious surface between the two properties and would utilize best management practices to treat surface water on their properties. d. The proposal would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the neighborhood. The applicant would remove an existing access from South Shore Drive and replace it with a natural area. This would provide a better separation from the subject industrial properties to the residential properties to the west. The applicant would also fill in the drive access area with over -story trees to provide fiirther separation. Resolution 2008-349 File No. 2008084 Page 3 e.
