RESOLUTION 98-733
APPROVING LOT DIVISION AND VARIANCE FOR THE ROTTLUND COMPANY,
INC. FOR PROPERTY LOCATED AT 10405 -6TH AVENUE NORTH (98186)
WHEREAS, an application has been filed by The Rottlund Company, Inc. which requests
approval of a lot division and variance to allow the transfer of land for 6"' Avenue right-of-
way for property located at 10405 6"' Avenue North; and
WHEREAS, the subject site is presently legally described on Attachment One, attached
hereto and hereby made a part hereof, and
WHEREAS, the proposed lot arrangement for which the lot division is sought is as legally
described on Attachment Two, attached hereto and hereby made a part hereof, and
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
lot division and variance request by The Rottlund Company, Inc., subject to the following
findings and conditions:
1. The lot division and variance allow the transfer of roughly 537 square feet of land for
6"' Avenue right-of-way, in accordance with the plans received by the City on
November 25, 1998, except as amended by this resolution.
2. This resolution approves a variance to allow the existing parking lot on the site to be
located less than 20 feet from the expanded 6"' Avenue right-of-way line, with the
finding that the applicable variance standards are met, as follows:
a) Uniqueness — the circumstances relating to the proposal are unique due to the
requirement for additional road right-of-way as part of plat approval for The
Village at Bassett Creek. This condition was not created by the landowner.

b) Increase in Value — the variance is not based upon a desire to increase the value or
income potential of the land. The additional right-of-way would allow
constriction of a public street north of the site, but would not change access to the
site.
C) Public Welfare — the granting of the variance would not be detrimental to the
public welfare, as the variance would not result in a hazardous condition. The
variance would allow for constriction of a needed street that would provide a
benefit to the public.
d) Neighborhood Impacts — the granting of the variance would not have adverse
impacts on surrounding properties. The reduced parking lot setback would not be
readily noticeable to surrounding properties or passers-by.
3. Upon recording of the lot division with Hennepin County, the roughly 537 square foot
area (Parcel A) shall be deeded to the City of Plymouth for 6"' Avenue right-of-way.
4. Compliance with the City Engineer's Memorandum.
ADOPTED by the City Council on December 16, 1998.
