RESOLUTION 2000-109
APPROVING SITE PLAN, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCE FOR
QUINWOOD SQUARE, LLC FOR A CULVER'S RESTAURANT FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED NORTH OF BASS LAKE ROAD AND WEST OF QUINWOOD LANE
NORTH (99125)
WHEREAS, Quinwood square, LLC has requested approval of a site plan, conditional
use permit and variance to allow construction of a 4,538 square foot restaurant with
drive -up window on property legally described as follows:
Lot 2, Block 1, Maple Grove Center 2nd Addition.
WHEREAS, the Planning Commission has reviewed said request at a duly called Public
Hearing and recommends approval of the site plan, conditional use permit and variance.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF
THE CITY OF PLYMOUTH, MINNESOTA, that it should and hereby does approve the
site plan, conditional use permit and variance for a Culver's Restaurant on property
located north of Bass Lake Road and west of Quinwood Lane North, subject to the
following conditions:
1. A site plan and conditional use permit are approved to allow construction of a 4,538
square foot restaurant, in accordance with the plans received by the City on December
30, 1999, except as amended by this resolution.
4.2.A variance is approved for two wall signs according to the application and plans- - - - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
received on December 30, 1999, based on the following findings:
a. The hardship is based on the fact that this site is functionally a corner lot, and
therefore, would normally be allowed to have wall signage on two walls.
However, because the roadway to the north is a private street, the site technically
has frontage on only one public street (Quinwood Lane). The service road

functions and is designed as a public street, but is platted as an outlot within the
city limits of Maple Grove. Furthermore, the main front door of the proposed
restaurant would be located on the north building wall, which faces the service
road. Many customers may approach the restaurant from the north, through the
Maple Grove Mall site. In those instances, the wall signage proposed for the
north wall is essential to provide identification for the building, because the pylon
sign located in the southeast corner of the site would be blocked by the building.
Additionally, the wall signage proposed for the east wall is essential to provide
identification for the building when approaching from Quinwood Lane.
b. The conditions surrounding this variance request are somewhat unique to this
parcel, because the street that provides the main access point to the this site is a
private service road. This condition is not applicable, generally, to other
properties in the C-4 district.
c. The purpose of the variance is not to increase value or income potential. The
purpose of the variance relates simply to the need to provide clear building
identification from the two streets abutting the site.
d. The hardship is caused by the ordinance because it does not recognize the service
road as a street for purposes of determining the number of walls that are allowed
wall signage.
e. The variance would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
neighborhood.
f. The setback between the wall signs and the lot lines would exceed the ordinance
requirements, and therefore would not affect the supply of light and air to
neighboring properties. In addition, the proposed wall signage would not
diminish property values within the neighborhood.
g. In order to provide signage that clearly indicates the proposed use to the traveling
public, a wall sign is required along each street.
3. The wall signage proposed for the east wall shall be roughly 10 square feet, and the
wall signage proposed for the north wall shall be roughly 20 square feet. There shall
be no neon sign band on the building.
.4.Prior to issuance of the building permit, the applicant must provide evidence of a-- - - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
recorded parking easement for seven parking spaces at the adjacent Maple Grove
Shopping Center.
6-.5.Except for the signage for which a variance was granted, all signage shall comply-- - - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
with the sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance.
15 6.No alcoholic beverages shall be sold or served on the premises. - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering

7. The operation shall be responsible for litter control within 300 feet of the premises
and litter control is to occur on a daily basis. Trash receptacles must be provided at
convenient locations on the site to facilitate litter control.
8. This resolution approves a variance to the Fire Code requirement for a fire lane within
50 feet of all sides of the building, pursuant to the conditions listed in the Fire
Inspector's Memorandum dated February 7, 2000.
4-7-.9. Standard Conditions:

expiration date for up to one additional year, as regulated under Sections
