NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the request by Lake West
Development, Co., LLC for a preliminary plat, final plat and variances to subdivide the property located
at 14606 County Road 6, subject to the following:
1. A preliminary plat, final plat and lot area and lot width variances are approved to allow the property
at 14606 County Road 6 to be subdivided into two single-family lots, in accordance with the
application and plans received by the city on March 26, 2014 and additional information received on
April 7, 2014, May 13, 2014 and May 27,2014, except as may be amended by this resolution.
2. The requested lot area and lot width variances are approved, based on the finding that all applicable
variance standards have been met, specifically:
a) The requested variances, and resulting construction, would be in harmony with the general
purposes and intent of the ordinance, and would be consistent with the city's comprehensive
plan.
b) The applicant has demonstrated that there are practical difficulties in complying with the
ordinance regulations, because:

1. The applicant proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner.
2. The request is due to unique circumstances related to the property not being divided in
the past like the majority of the adjacent parcels
3. The variances would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood as the lots
would be consistent for both lot size and for lot width with the lots directly east and
west of the two newly created lots.
c) The requested variances are not based solely upon economic considerations. The applicant is
requesting the variances in order to establish a single-family home site similar to the adjacent
parcels.
d) The variances, and resulting construction, would not be detrimental to the public welfare, nor
would they be injurious to other land or improvements in the neighborhood.
e) The variances, and resulting construction, would not impair an adequate supply of light and air
to adjacent properties, nor would they increase traffic congestion or the danger of fire,
endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish property values within the neighborhood.
f) The variances requested are the minimum action required to address the practical difficulties.
3. Prior to release of the final plat for recording, the applicant shall:
a) Pay the park dedication cash fee in lieu of land dedication for two new dwelling units, in
accordance with the dedication ordinance in effect at the time of filing of the final plat.
b) Revise the tree preservation plan to show tree number 114 as either being removed with a
revised calculation table or add tree protection fencing to the plan.
c) Obtain the necessary permits from Hennepin County in order to install utilities and for
permanent access onto County Road 6.
4. Prior to construction of the home on Lot 1, Block 1, Fretham 22nd Addition, the applicant shall
obtain a building permit from the Building Division.
5. Prior to the issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall:
a) Install and request inspection of silt fencing and tree preservation fencing.
b) Provide a certified survey indicating a minimum of two front yard trees to be preserved or
planted and identify impervious surface calculations at or below 25 percent.
c) Install and request inspection of one address sign for both addresses located at the intersection
of the shared drive by the fire inspector. The numbers/letters shall be a minimum of four to six
inches in height and in a contrasting color to the sign.
6. Standard Conditions:
a) No building permits shall be issued for construction of a new home on the site until the final
plat is filed and recorded with Hennepin County.
