RESOLUTION 2006-338
APPROVING FINDINGS OF FACT FOR REZONING OF PROPERTY PRESENTLY
ADDRESSED AS 14860 COUNTY ROAD 47 (2006057)
WHEREAS, Lennar Company (d/b/a U.S. Home Corporation) has requested reclassification of
the zoning from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to RSF-2 (Single Family Detached 2) for
roughly 5.2 acres legally described as follows:
The North 353.87 feet of that part of the West half of the Northeast Quarter of Section 4,
Township 118 North, Range 22 West of the Fifth Principal Meridian, lying North of the
centerline of County Road 47, except the West 675.10 feet thereof, Hennepin County,
Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public Hearing
and recommends approval; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected property from FRD
(Future Restricted Development) to RSF-2 (Single Family Detached 2).
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 for
reclassification of the zoning from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to RSF-2 (Single
Family Detached 2) for the roughly 5.2 -acre site presently addressed as 14860 County Road 47,
based on the following findings:
1. The proposed RSF-2 zoning classification would be consistent with the LA -2 guiding of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. All lots would comply with the lot standards specified by the RSF-2 zoning district.

3. The proposed lower density is due to the required single -loaded street design that preserves
and buffers the wetland. Additionally, the proposed plat would be compatible with the
portion of the planned "Taryn Hills" plat abutting this site—which includes single-family
development on similar -sized lots. Furthermore, had this site been included in the original
"Taryn Hills" plat, the overall density for the entire development would be 3.35 dwelling
units per acre—which exceeds the minimum density goal for this individual site.
4. The proposed RSF-2 zoning classification would be consistent with the zoning of
surrounding properties.
5. Adequate infrastructure would be available to support RSF-2 zoning and the development
proposed for this site.
ADOPTED by the City Council on September 12, 2006.
