RESOLUTION 2004-357
APPROVING VARIANCE TO THE MINIMUM LOT WIDTH TO ALLOW A MINOR
SUBDIVISION TO CREATE TWO LOTS FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 5780 OAKVIEW
LANE NORTH (2004054)
WHEREAS, an application has been filed by Boyer Palmer which requests approval of a variance
to allow a new lot to be created with 41.8 feet of frontage where the 110 feet is required for
property legally described as follows:
Lot 6, Block 1, Palmer's Cove, according to the recorded plat thereof, Hennepin County,
Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed the request at a duly called public meeting

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 Boyer
Palmer for a variance to allow a new lot to be created with 41.8 feet of frontage where the 110
feet is required for property located at 5780 Oakview Lane North, based upon the following
findings and conditions:
1. This variance is granted in accordance with the plans received by the City on June 23, 2004,
except as may be amended by this resolution, based on the findings that the applicable
standards have been met as follows:
a. The applicant has shown hardship related to the shape of the lot and its relationship to the
public right-of-way.
b. Granting the variance to add one single family home would not affect the character of the
area nor impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property, endanger the
public safety, or increase the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially
diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. In addition, the subdivision is
unlikely to increase the congestion of public streets as the new single family home is

on a small cul-de-sac.
c. The request is the minimum action necessary to eliminate the hardship.
2. Separate permits are required prior to commencement of constriction.
3. No building permits shall be issued until the minor subdivision is recorded and proof of
recording is received by the City.

shall be relocated to the north, approximately half on each of proposed parcels A and B.
5. Compliance with the City Engineer's Memorandum.
6. This approval shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the applicant has
recorded the minor subdivision or substantially started constriction of the project, or unless
the 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.
