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 Vince
and Beth Beacom for a preliminary plat and variance, subject to the following conditions:
1. A preliminary plat is approved to create two lots, in accordance with the preliminary plat and
plans received by the City on July 16, 1998, and revisions received on August 19, 1998,
August 28, 1998 and August 31, 1998, except as amended by this resolution.
2. The plat is subject to the RSF-1 setback standards, except as amended by this resolution.
3. The plat is subject to all Shoreland Management Overlay District standards, except as
amended by this resolution.
4. Lot 1 and Lot 2 shall share an access at the common lot line. The shared driveway
agreements must be approved by City staff and recorded at Hennepin County, prior to
recording the final plat.
5. Variances from the minimum lot width requirements in the RSF-1 zoning district and the
shoreland district are approved, based on the finding that the seven variance standards have
been met. Specifically:
a. A hardship exists due to the shape of the site. The existing 2 -acre parcel is a large lot, but
it is relatively narrow. The variance would allow the site to be divided into two large lots
which would be consistent with the character of the surrounding neighborhood.
b. The hardship is not generally applicable to other properties in the RSF-1 district. The size
and shape of this site presents an unusual circumstance where the lots would be twice the
required minimum lot size, but could not meet the minimum lot width.
c. The request is not based solely upon a desire to increase value or income potential. The
variance would allow development consistent with the existing neighborhood.
d. The conditions relating to the hardship were not created by the applicants.
e. The proposal would not be detrimental to the public welfare or the neighborhood.
f. The proposal would not impair the supply of light and air to adjacent property, increase
the danger of fire, endanger the public safety, diminish property values within the
neighborhood, or substantially increase the congestion of public streets.
g. The proposal is the minimum action required to eliminate the hardship.
6. Address signage for both homes shall be visible on Pineview Lane.
7. Gas service must be in utility easement or noted to be relocated.
8. The OHW contour should be identified on the plans.
9. Provide sewer invert elevations at Pineview Lane.
10. Standard Conditions:

b. Removal of all hazardous trees from the property at the owner's expense.
c. Compliance with Policy Resolution 79-80 regarding minimum floor elevations for new
strictures on sites adjacent to, or containing any open storm water drainage facility.
d. Submission of the required Financial Guarantee and Site Performance Agreement for
completion of site improvements.
e. Any subsequent phases or expansions are subject to required reviews and approvals
per Ordinance provisions.
f. Park dedication fees shall be cash fees -in -lieu of land dedication in accordance with the
dedication policy in effect at the time the final plat is recorded. This fee shall be paid
prior to release of the final plat mylars.
g. No building permits shall be issued until the final plat is filed and recorded with
Hennepin County.
h. Submittal of required utility and drainage easements as approved by the City Engineer
prior to filing the Final Plat.
i. The Developer shall hold the City and its officers, employees, and agents harmless
from claims made by itself and third parties for damages sustained or costs incurred
resulting from plat approval and development. The Developer shall indemnify the City
and its officers, employees, and agents for all costs, damages or expenses which the
City may pay or incur in consequence of such claims, including attorneys' fees.
Adopted by the City Council on October 7, 1998.
