RESOLUTION 2005-112
APPROVING SITE PLAN AMENDMENT, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AMENDMENT
AND VARIANCES TO ALLOW A CHURCH EXPANSION FOR ST. BARNABAS
LUTHERAN CHURCH LOCATED AT 15600 OLD ROCKFORD ROAD (2005005)
WHEREAS, St. Barnabas Lutheran Church has requested approval of a site plan amendment,
conditional use permit amendment, and variances for an 18,292 -square foot church expansion
located at 15600 Old Rockford Road, for property legally described as:
Lot 1, Block 1, St. Barnabas Addition, Hennepin County, MN
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called public hearing
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 St.
Barnabas Lutheran Church for a site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment, and
variances for an 18,292 -square foot church expansion, subject to the following conditions:
1. A site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment, and variances are approved to
allow constriction of a 18,292 -square foot two-level expansion, in accordance with the
application materials received by the City on January 13, 2005, and revised plans received by
the City on February 17, 2005, except as amended by this resolution.
�2. Variances are approved to allow a 16 -foot side yard building setback where 25 feet is
required by the Zoning Ordinance, and a 6 -foot side yard parking setback where 30 feet is
required by the Ordinance, based on the finding that:
Resolution 2005-112

a. The requested 16 -foot building setback variance and 6 -foot parking setback variance
would allow the expansion of the building and parking area to the eastern portion of the
site. St. Barnabas Lutheran Church recently purchased the residential property to the
southeast which is the property directly affected by the variance requests. The church
plans to eventually consolidate these properties into one lot. At that time the variance
would no longer be needed.
b. Because of the church's side property line arrangement, the proposed 16 -foot building
setback variance applies to a small portion of the side lot line. The majority of the church
would be set back at least 120 -feet from the side property line.
c. The variances 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 proposed setbacks
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.
d. The purpose of the variances is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income
potential of the parcel of land. The proposed church expansion and parking lot addition
would not increase the capacity of the church; but would rather provide a church addition
for its members.
3. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a revised certified survey shall be submitted identifying
the lot area and the proposed impervious surface area coverage on the property. The total
impervious surfaces area coverage shall not exceed 25 percent of the lot area.
4. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a site improvement performance agreement and
financial guarantee shall be submitted pursuant to Section 21045.10 of the Zoning Ordinance.
5. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a revised landscape plan shall be submitted showing 19
overstory trees (2.5 -inch for deciduous and 6 -feet for coniferous) to be planted on the subject
property. The landscape plan shall show all proposed trees on the subject property.
6. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a revised landscape plan shall be submitted showing not
less than 25 percent deciduous and not less than 25 percent coniferous trees.
7. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a private trail easement (in recordable form) shall be
submitted to the City for the church path that crosses onto Lot 2, Block 1, St. Barnabas
Addition. The easement shall be recorded at Hennepin County.
8. Prior to issuance of a building permit, a revised lighting plan shall be submitted identifying the
watts per square footage for all lighting on the site per Section 21105.06 of the Zoning
Ordinance. In addition, house -side shields shall be added to all fixtures located within 300

feet of residential property, as required by the ordinance. The lighting plan shall be revised as
necessary for all proposed lighting to be in compliance with ordinance requirements.
