WHEREAS, the City Council has adopted an ordinance rezoning the affected parcel from FRD
to PUD;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does support the request by Swan
Development LLC for reclassification of the zoning from FRD (Future Restricted Development)
to PUD (Planned Unit Development) for a 62.6 -acre property located in the northeast quadrant of
Schmidt Lake Road and Vicksburg Lane, based on the following findings:
1. The proposed rezoning is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and other City policies and
plans.
2. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by creating an
integrated neighborhood with traditional neighborhood design elements—such as reduced
front yard setbacks, sidewalks and narrower tree -lined streets—which would not otherwise
be possible through strict interpretation of the Zoning Ordinance.
3. The proposed development meets the intent of the PUD zoning district by providing for the
preservation and enhancement of many of the site's natural features.
4. The development would incorporate common design elements, including de -emphasis of
garages, increased use of porches and architecturally interesting entries and internal
sidewalks throughout the development.
Adopted by the City Council on this 26t1' day of June, 2001.
