RESOLUTION NO. 82- 118
APPROVING PARKING PLAN AND VARIANCE FOR DICO ENTERPRISES, INCORPORATED AT 1605 COUNTY
ROAD 18 (TRACT A REGISTERED LAND SURVEY 942) (A-475)
WHEREAS, DICO Enterprises, Incorporated has requested approval of a "Proof-of-Parklnq
Plan" and a variance from the City Ordinance parkinq requirements for the site at
1605 County Road 18 North, also described as Tract A Registered Land Survey No. 942;
and,
WHEREAS, this site contains 14.9 acres and two buildings, a free-standinq office
structure of 8,400 sq. ft., and the north portion of an industrial building,
approximately 273,144 sq. ft. of which are on this tract; and,
WHEREAS, the petitioner has submitted a plan dated February 5, 1982, representing the
existing dimensions of the site, the existing dimensions of the structures on the
site, and the amount of parking spaces which could be provided on the site within the
parking standards of the City of Plymouth 7oninq Ordinance and within the constraints
of existing easements on the site; and,
WHEREAS, the City has determined that the minimum number of parkinq spaces required
by the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance for the actual occupancies and uses of the buildings
at this time is 388, and that the number of parking spaces that could be provided on
this site per the submitted plan is 294; and,
WHEREAS, the petitioner seeks to sell the property adjacent to the south (Tracts A
and B Registered Land Survey No. 1376) which consists of approximately 10.3 acres and
which contains vacant land and the balance of the Industrial building which has an
area of approximately 95,350 sq. ft., without an encumbrance upon that land for
parking spaces which could serve the subject site;
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 of DICO Enterprises,
Incorporated to approve the Parking Plan dated February 5, 1982, and to grant a
variance from the Ordinance minimum parking standards based on the actual
occupancies, which require a potential 388 spaces versus the 294 spaces which the
Plan demonstrates are possible, in consideration of the following:
1. The use of the main industrial building was designed for and is used
for the storage and fabrication of steel and steel products requiring
significant amounts of open space within the building to accommodate
overhead cranes, vehicles, and other heavy equipment:

Resolution No. 82- 118
2. The use of the industrial building generates a level of employment at
any given time which requires less than the Ordinance required parking
and this, based upon fic!d observation, includes the office uses cur-
rently occupying this site both the free-standinq office building and
In the industrial building;
3. Additional parking can be provided, as demonstrated by the Parking Plan
dated February 5, 1982, though the number of ultimate parking spaces
possible is less than required by the City Ordinance for structures of
this magnitude in the Industrial District, thereby limiting future
occupancies and uses of these structures to those which can be
supported by the ultimate amount of parking availahle on the site.
