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 for
reclassification of the zoning from FRD (Future Restricted Development) to RSF-1 (Single
Family Detached 1) for the roughly 9.1 acres (6.1 net acres) located at 18315-8"' Avenue North,
based on the following findings:
1. The proposed RSF-1 zoning classification is consistent with the LA -1 guiding of the
Comprehensive Plan.
2. Except for the lot width of Lot 5 (for which a variance was requested), all lots would
exceed the lot standards specified by the RSF-1 zoning district.
3. The proposed lower density for this site would result in a development that balances
preservation of the environment with reasonable and responsible use of land, by allowing
preservation of more trees and landforms. A reduction in the number of homes would also
result in less impervious surface coverage, thereby reducing runoff to the lake.
Furthermore, the proposal would result in a development that would be compatible with
the existing character of the surrounding RSF-1 properties.
4. The proposed RSF-1 zoning classification would help to preserve and maintain the
established larger lot development pattern of the adjacent RSF-1 neighborhood.
5. There would be adequate infrastructure available to support RSF-1 zoning and the
development proposed for this site.
