APPROVING SITE PLAN, CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT AND VARIANCES FOR
PROFESSIONAL CAR WASH SYSTEMS FOR FOR A GAS CONVENIENCE STORE
WITH AN ATTACHED CAR WASH AND OFFICE BUILDING FOR PROPERTY
LOCATED SOUTH OF OLD ROCKFORD ROAD AND EAST OF PEONY LANE
(20041)
WHEREAS, Professional Car Wash Systems has requested approval of a site plan,
conditional use permit and variances to allow construction of a gas convenience store
with an attached car wash and office building on property legally described as follows:
Outlot G, Rockford Glen
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 variances for Professional Car Wash Systems on
property located south of Old Rockford Road and east of Peony Lane, subject to the
following conditions:
1. A site plan and conditional use permit are approved to allow construction of a gas
convenience store with attached car wash and office, in accordance with the plans and
application received by the City on March 31, 2000 and revised on May 8, 2000,
except as amended by this resolution.
----------------------------
4-2. Variances are approved to allow a 54.5 -foot setback from the north property line ander- - - - Formatted: Bullets and Numbering
a 60 -foot setback from the south property line where 75 feet is required, based on the
following findings:

Page 2
(a) The hardship is based on the fact that this site is only 214 feet deep. With the 75 -
foot setback requirements from both the north and south property lines, there is
only 64 feet in which to locate a building. This limited area makes it difficult to
construct a functionally unusable commercial building without variances.
(b) The conditions surrounding the requested variances are unique to this parcel,
because of the unusually narrow depth of the lot. Additionally, the 75 -foot
setback applies to lots that adjoin residential properties. While the adjacent
property is zoned for residential uses, it contains a large wetland basin that
physically separates this site from the adjacent neighborhood. Lastly, the large
wetland and adjacent roads provide a 300 -foot separation between the proposed
building and adjacent residential homes.
(c) The purpose of the variances is not exclusively based upon a desire to increase
the value or income potential of the land; but rather, to enjoy a reasonable use of
the property under the current C-1 zoning. As noted above, variances are need in
order to construct a reasonably -sized commercial building on this lot.
(d) The hardship is caused by the ordinance, because the City permitted the creation
of this lot in 1995. Additionally, in 1996, the City rezoned this lot from PUD to
C-1.
(e) The variances would not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the
neighborhood.
(f) The proposed building would be approximately 300 feet from the nearest home.
Consequently, the building with the reduced setback would not impair an
adequate supply of light and air to adjacent property. The requested setback
variances would not endanger the public safety or increase the congestion of the
public streets, because the variance would not allow a more intensive use of the
site; but rather, would allow the applicant to construct a building that is more
functional for commercial uses. In addition, because the proposed use would
comply with the performance standards of the ordinance, the building would not
diminish property values within the neighborhood.
3. 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.
4. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a revised lighting
plan in conformance to the Zoning Ordinance standards.
5. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the applicant shall submit a revised
landscaping plan in conformance with the Zoning Ordinance standards.

6. The exterior vacuums shall consist of the D/H vacuum with quiet kit, or comparable
vacuum with similar decibel levels.
7. Any future pylon sign shall be located in the southwest corner of the site and shall not
exceed 96 square feet in area or 26 feet in height. The purpose of this condition is to
insure that the conditional use permit for the gas/convenience store is not injurious to
the adjacent residential properties.
