RESOLUTION 98-557
APPROVING A SITE PLAN AMENDMENT AND MINOR VARIANCE FOR A
PARKING LOT EXPANSION AT CUB FOODS LOCATED AT 3600 VICKSBURG
LANE NORTH (9814 1)
WHEREAS, Innsbruck Investments, Inc. has requested a site plan amendment for a
parking lot expansion and a minor variance for a 17 -foot parking setback on property
legally described as follows:
Lot 1, Block 1, Plymouth Hills 6"' Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public
Meeting 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 Innsbruck Investments, Inc. for a site plan amendment and minor variance,
subject to the following conditions:
1. The site plan amendment is for constriction of a 72 stall parking lot expansion, in
accordance with the plans received by the City on July 31, 1998, and revisions
received on September 1, 1998, except as amended by this resolution.
2. A minor variance is approved for a 17 -foot front yard parking setback, where 20 feet
is required, based on the following findings:
a. Due to the location of the existing curb line, this minor variance is required to
extend the existing curb line north and add approximately 37 new parking stalls
along Vicksburg Lane.

b. The variance request is unique to this property, as it is the expansion of an
existing curb line, and the conditions are not applicable, generally, to other
property within the same zoning classification.
c. The purpose of the variation is not based exclusively upon a desire to increase the
value or income potential of the parcel of land.
d. The hardship is the result of the existing site conditions. The variance would
allow expansion of the existing curb line.
e. The variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other
land or improvements in the neighborhood in which the parcel of land is located.
f. The variance will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent
property, or substantially increase the congestion of the public streets, or increase
the danger of fire, or endanger the public safety, or substantially diminish or
impair property values within the neighborhood.
g. The minor variance is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship.
3. A hedge of alpine currant shall be planted along Vicksburg Lane and 36t11 Avenue
where the new parking is proposed. A revised landscape plan shall be submitted for
review and approval by staff prior to issuance of grading permits.
4. The 24 compact parking stalls must be striped appropriately and signed in accordance
with City standards.
5. All lighting shall comply with minimum Zoning Ordinance requirements, and may not
exceed 0.5 foot candle at the property line.
6. All new drives must be constricted to minimum fire lane constriction requirements.
7. A grading permit is required prior to beginning parking lot expansion.
8. The applicant shall comply with the conditions outlined in the City Engineer's
Memorandum.
9. Standard Conditions:
a. Submission of the required Financial Guarantee and Site Performance Agreement
for completion of site improvements within twelve months of the date of this
Resolution.
b. Compliance with regulations regarding handicapped parking spaces and access.

c. Any subsequent phases or expansions are subject to required reviews and
approvals per Ordinance provisions.
d. Compliance with the City Code regarding the location of fire hydrants, post
indicator valve, fire department connection, fire lanes, and fire lane signage prior
to issuance of building permits.
e. An 8 1/2 x 11 inch "As Built" Fire Protection Plan shall be submitted prior to the
release or reduction of any site improvement bonds per City Policy.
f. This approval shall expire one year after the date of approval, unless the property
owner or applicant has substantially started constriction of the project, or unless
the landowner or applicant has received prior approval from the City to extend
the expiration date for up to one additional year, as regulated under Sections
2 103 0. 06 and 21045.09 of the Zoning Ordinance.
Adopted by the City Council on September 16, 1998.
