A. There are special circumstances that affect this property regarding the
pending legal agreement between the City of Plymouth aw Life Time
Fitness that necessitate the lot arrangements.
B. The Variance is not noticeable and will not be detrimental to the public
welfare or injurious to other property.
Variances from the Zoning Ordinance are granted for building setback, parking
location and building coverage. The Variances are based on the finding that:
A. The site is transitional between the City Center to the west and the park
area to the east and therefore the site should be developed in a way that
does not dominate its natural resources.
B. The topography and wooded areas of the site, the site's chief amenities,
would be unduly and unnecessarily altered if the strict letter of the
regulations were carried out.
C. The placement of a fence/wall along the street to create the desired
"edge" that a smaller building setback would have created will offset the
proposed variances for building setback and parking placement.
D. The granting of the variances will not be detrimental to the public
welfare.
E. The Variances will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the area.
A Variance from the Zoning Ordinance is granted for two building
identification signs on a single lot. The Variance is based on the finding that:
A. The pending legal agreement between the City of Plymouth and Life
Time Fitness has affected the platting of this property to create a
variance where one otherwise would not have been needed.
B. The multi -use nature of the site, together with the fact that the uses are
both public and private, represents a unique condition.
C. The granting of the variances would not be detrimental to the public
welfare.
D. The Variances will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to
adjacent property or substantially diminish or impair property values
within the area.
Approval of a Wetland Mitigation Plan prior to issuance of a grading permit.

concession stand (associated with the outdoor pool), physical therapy, massage
therapy and a general retail area not to exceed 15 percent of the gross floor area
of the fitness center.
