WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public Hearing and recommends approval. 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 by station 19 Architects, Inc. for a site plan amendment, conditional use permit amendment, and variance, subject to the following conditions: 1. A site plan amendment and conditional use permit amendment are approved for a 22,800 square foot building addition and a parking lot expansion in accordance with the plans received by the City on January 30, 2001, except as amended by this resolution. 2. This approval is contingent upon approval of a rezoning for a portion of the site from FRI) to RSF-1 and lot consolidation to combine the four parcels south of Old Rockford Road into one lot. 3. A variance is approved to allow a parking setback of 12 feet from the north (front) lot line, where 20 feet is the minimum parking setback specified by the Zoning Ordinance, based on the finding that: a. The requested 12 -foot setback would allow the expansion parking area to match up with the existing non -conforming parking lot setback on the eastern portion of the site. Maintaining a consistent parking setback from Old Rockford would improve safety and circulation of the parking lot because internal drive aisles would line up with each other. b. A typical boulevard (i.e., the space between street curb line and private property line) is roughhv 10 feet along local streets. In this particular case, however, the boulevard is Resolution 2001-105 File No. 20188 Page 3 rougl*v 18 -feet Nvide. Combining this Nvider than typical boulevard with the proposed 12 - foot setback would maintain a rougl*v 30 -foot separation between the actual roadway the parking lot, therefore, the reduced setback would not be distinguishable from the road. c. The variance would alloy a reasonable use of land and would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other land in the neighborhood. The proposed setback would not impair an adequate supple of light and air to adjacent property, endanger public safety, increase congestion of the public streets, increase the danger of fire or substantially diminish property values in the neighborhood. d. The purpose of the variance is not based upon a desire to increase the value or income potential of the parcel of land: but rather, to expand the existing parking lot to help eliminate a current parking shortage. &4Building permits are required prior to commencement of the project. .- - - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering 5. Prior to issuance of building permits, the City must receive proof of a private easement agreement between the church and Hennepin Parks for the discharge of storm -water runoff onto the park property. 6. This resolution approves a variance to the Fire Code requirement for a fire lane Nvithin 50 feet of the south and Nvest sides of the building, subject to the conditions listed in the Fire Inspector's February 14, 2001 Memorandum, attached hereto. 2-f-.-7.
