a) The size, shape, and shallow depth (ranging from 20 to 35 feet) of this parcel
creates a hardship, because without the variances, the lift station could not be
reconstructed on the site. Additionally, the requested variances would provide for
essential services for the benefit of the community and would allow for reasonable
use of the land.
b) The specific conditions and circumstances related to this parcel and request are not
generally applicable to other properties in the RSF-1 district.
c) The request is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase value or income
potential of the property, but rather to allow reconstruction of an existing sanitary
sewer lift station.
d) The site conditions relating to the need for the variances were not created by the
landowner.
e) Granting the variances would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious
to other land or improvements in the neighborhood. The lift station buildings
would be constricted to be compatible with the character of the surrounding
development. In addition, the lift station would provide an essential public service.
f) The granting of the variances would not impair an adequate supply of light or air
to adjacent properties, nor would it substantially increase congestion in the public
streets, increase the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, or substantially
diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood.
g) The requested variances are the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship.
3. The appropriate building permits must be obtained prior to constriction of the
building.
4. Native vegetation shall be planted in the area between the buildings and the lagoon.
5. On plan sheet G-2, change note 17 to read "All work shall be in accordance with the
City Of Plymouth's current Engineering Guidelines".
6. Heavy duty silt fence is required on the south side of the project.
7. Show catch basin inlet protection per City Detail ST -22 and ST -23 dated March,
2005.
8. Show placement of rock constriction entrance.

9. Add note to replace street cross section, curb and gutter with in-kind material.
10. Add note that stainless steel bolts, nuts, and rodding are required for all underground
fittings.
11. Consider using C905 PVC instead of DIP for the 16 -inch watermain outside of the
building.
12. Provide traffic control plan. One lane must remain open at all times.
13. Submit four copies of the General and Civil plans that are 24"x36".
14. Show first floor elevation of proposed buildings and high water level of Bass Lake on
the grading plan.
15. A permit is required to work in the street right-of-way from the Engineering
Department.
16. This approval shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property
owner or applicant has commenced the use, 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.
