WHEREAS, Baton Corporation has requested approval for an amendment of the

Permit for Mission RPUD relative to dwelling unit densities, styles, and
location southeast of Larch Lane and old Rockford Road; and,
WHEREAS, the applicant submitted two plans over a period of two years.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it hereby does deny the Residential Planned Unit
Development Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit Amendment for
Baton Corporation for Mission RPUD located southeast of Larch Lane and Old
Rockford Road, based on the following reasons:
1. Insufficient demonstration of more efficient and effective use of
streets, utilities and public facilities to yield high quality
development.
2. Recreation facilities and other public and common facilities are not more
usable and suitably located than would otherwise be provided under
conventional land development procedures.
3. Insufficient demonstration of affirmative design efforts toward the
preservation and enhancement of desirable natural site characteristics as
defined by the Plymouth "Physical Constraints Analysis", particularly
encroachment on natural topography south of 41st Avenue North.
4. The Plan proposes credit for and a concentration of low -to -moderate
income "bonus units" without demonstration that such "bonus units"
defined in the Zoning Ordinance can and will be developed.
