NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH,
MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does deny the request of Arnold Palmer for
variances from the City's Subdivision Code and from the City Urban Policy for
the following reasons:
1. The granting of a Waiver of Compliance from the provisions of
Minnesota Statutes 462.358, Subdivision 4 would be contrary to
established policy of the City relating to the regulation of
urban development which policy was established by Resolution No.
75-664, adopted November 17, 1975.
2. There is no evidence that an unusual hardship on this land exists
to support the granting of the requested variances as required by
Subsection 500.41 of the City Code.
3. There are no special circumstances or conditions affecting the
property requiring the granting of the requested variances.
4. The proposed development would be deleterious and harmful to the
public welfare in that,
r
c. Such developments frustrate orderly and responsible
municipal planning designed to keep municipal expen-
ditures'within prudent and fiscally achievable limits.
5. The economic gain to this petitioner in the development of this
property is an insufficient reason for granting the requested
waivers and variances when balanced against the potential economic
disadvantage and cost to the citizens of the City.
