ZONING: FRD (Future Restricted Development) District and R -1A (Low

BACKGROUND:
On March 20, 1991, the Planning Commission recommended approval of a
Preliminary Plat for 16 single family lots and 1 outlot; denial of a zoning
request change from the FRD District to the R -4 District for a proposed
apartment complex; and, that the Land Use Guide Plan and Thoroughfare Plan be
reviewed to determine the appropriate land use and Thoroughfare Plan in this
vicinity.
On April 1, 1991, the City Council directed the Planning Commission to hold a
Public Hearing to consider both the Land Use Guide Plan and the Thoroughfare
Plan for the subject area.
On May 8, 1991, the Planning Commission held Public Hearings and tabled
consideration of recommendations regarding the Transportation Plan. The
Planning Commission directed staff to inform residents in the neighborhood
between Harbor Lane and Kingsview Lane of its intent to consider a
recommendation regarding the construction of 10th Avenue North between Ithaca
Lane and Kingsview Lane in the existing public street right -of -way
undeveloped) as a potential method to address traffic circulation concerns
raised during the review of the Fernbrook Lane Minor Collector Street.
The Planning Commission adopted recommendations regarding the Land Use Guide
Plan reclassification for that area from LA -4 (High Density Residential) to
Public /Semi - Public North of the Luce Line and west of Fernbrook Lane; and,

File 90093
from LA -4 (High Density Residential) to LA -1 (Low Density Residential)
District for the area south of the Luce Line and east of Harbor Lane.
On June 12, 1991, the Planning Commission recommended an amendment to the
Transportation Element of the Comprehensive Plan to delete the minor collector
shown on the plan on the approximate alignment of Fernbrook Lane between
County Road 6 and Gleason Lake Drive.
Also on June 12, 1991, the Planning Commission acted to reconsider their May
8, action and recommended reclassification of a portion of the land south of
the Luce Line Trail to LA -2 (Low Medium Density Residential) classificat ofn.
On July 1, 1991, the City Council by Resolution 91 -366, approved a Land Use
Guide Plan amendment to reclassify land south of the Luce Line Trail and east
of Harbor Lane from the LA -4 (High Density Residential) to LA -2 (Low Medium
Density Residential) and, land from LA -1 (Low Density Residential) to LA -2
Low Medium Density Residential). In addition, the City Council took no
action to reclassify Fernbrook Lane from a Minor Collector street to a local
street, as had been under consideration.
Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the Official City
Newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. A development
sign has been placed on the property.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. The site is located within "the Bassett Creek Watershed District; contains
no Flood Plain Overlay District or Shoreland Overlay District; contains
both DNR protected waters and City of Plymouth ponding areas; contains
significant woodland coverage; contains areas with slopes in excess of 18
percent; and contains some land not suitable for urban development with
municipal sewer system -- related to wetland area.
2. The Preliminary Plat proposal is to divide the westerly and central
portions of the site into 30 single family detached building lots, 4 of
which are within the proposed R -1A zoning portion of the site and the
balance of which are within the proposed R -2 zoning classification of the
site. Those lots within the R -2 portion of the site (the center) are, in
some cases, under 18,500 square feet, but all are at or above the 15,000
square feet minimum specified for lots in an R -2 Zoning District.
3. The Preliminary Plat includes requests for Variances from the Subdivision
Ordinance as follow:
a. Lot width at the setback line for proposed Lot 2, Block 1 of 106 feet
versus the R -1A Zoning Ordinance standard of 110 feet.
b. Lot width at the setback line for Lot 8, Block 1 of 75 feet versus the
R -2 Zoning Ordinance standard of 90 feet.
c. Lot width at the rear lot line of Lot 10, Block 1 of 0 versus the
ordinance standard of 30 e et.

File 90093
4. In all other respects the proposed Preliminary Plat is consistent with the
City of Plymouth Zoning Ordinance and Subdivision Ordinance as well as
other City Codes, Ordinances and Policies (except as noted in the
Engineer's Memo).
5. The Preliminary Plat proposed is responsive to the intent of the City
Council with respect to this development of this neighborhood as reflected
in the Land Use Guide Plan amendments adopted earlier this year. The
technical details surrounding the conservation easement over, and the
ownership, of Outlot A should be concluded prior to the submission of the
Final Plat.
6. Variances from the provisions of the Subdivision Ordinance may be approved
only upon a finding the Subdivision Ordinance Criteria of Section 500.42
are complied with. A copy of those Subdivision Variance Criteria together
with the applicant's response to those criteria by the Engineer's letter
of September 24, 1991 are attached.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
1. The Preliminary Plat is consistent with the Plymouth Comprehensive Plan,
particularly the Land Use Guide Plan (as amended in 1991) and the
Transportation Plan (with respect to connection of Harbor Lane to
Fernbrook Lane).
2. Except as noted in the Engineer's Memo, and related to the Variances
requested, the Preliminary Plat complies with the standards of the Zoning
Ordinance, Subdivision Ordinance, and all other City of Plymouth codes,
ordinances and policies regarding development in the R -1A and R -2 Zoning
Districts.
3. The Subdivision Ordinance Variances requested are related to the unique
shape and environmental status of the site, and the need to locate a
collector street consistent with the Transportation Plan requirements.
Requested Variances meet the three Subdivision Ordinance, Variance
Criteria, and are recommended for approval.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend adoption of the attached resolution providing for the approval of
the Preliminary Plat for "Harbor Woods" together with the Subdivision
Variances requested, I also recommend adoption of the Rezoning Ordinance and
the Resolution Setting a Condition Prior to Publication of that Rezoning
Ordinance, consisted with the Land Use Guide VmTr\for this site.

temporary cul -de -sac.
I. The developer's engineer shall verify that Fernbrook Lane can be constructed as
proposed adjacent to DNR Wetland 690W, City Pond BC -P19B, without encroachment
into the wetland. If necessary, the street shall be moved easterly to avoid
encroachment.

Number 14:
ou indicate that the sixteen inch watermain shown between Lots 2 &. 3, Block
1, must be extended easterly through 8th Avenue North and then south to tie
into the existing sixteen inch watermain which is already in place between
Lots 6 & 7, Block 2, Harbor Place Addition.
The route of the 16 watermain as shown on our preliminary utility plan was
chosen to extend water service to the abutting property owner to the south and
also to suggest a cooperative project to complete the trunk system. Should
the City Engineer determine that the best routing_ for the 16" watermain is
through Harbor Woods property we expect that this watermain's entire cost
where no lateral benefit exists) be paid for from the City's water trunk
fund.
Number 16:
You indicate that the developers engineer should verify that Fernbrook Lane
can be constructed adjacent to DNR wetland 69OW and City Pond BC -P19B. We
have scheduled a site visit by Ms. Ceil Strauss, the DNR area hydrologist to
establish the ordinary high water mark of the subject wetland areas. The OHW
line will be shown on the final construction plans for Fernbrook Lane and the
site improvements.
Number 17:
You indicate that Lot 2, Block 1, Lot 8, Block 1, & Lot 13, Block 2 do not
comply with the zoning ordinance required minimum lot widths tat the minimum
front yard setback). Lot 2, Block 1, fronts on Harbor Lane. It's width is
approximately 106 feet and is typical of the lots in this area. We request a
variance based upon the facts. This is a lot of record at present. Lot 8,
Block 1 has an unusual shape due to topographic constraints and our desire to
minimize tree loss. Attached is a sketch of this lot with a cul-de -sac
inserted to avoid a lot width variance at the minimum front setback. We ask
that the City establish a minimum front setback of 75 feet for Lot 8, Block 1.
The lot width is 90' at this setback, consistent with R -2 standards.
Alternately, the City may wish to consider a variance to Lot width at the
minimum front setback; acknowledge our efforts to reduce tree loss and grading
and the hardship that lot line revisions or a cul-de -sac would impose. Lot
13, Block 2, is to be 90 feet wide at the 35' front setback line per R -2
standards. As drawn the lot may be 89 feet wide. We do not seek a variance.
The final plat will be checked for ordinance compliance.
Number 18:
You indicate that Lot 10, Block 1, does not meet the minimum standard of a 30'
rear property line. We believe the lot geometry as drawn makes practical
sense. Attached are 2 sketches of minor modifications that could be done to
strictly comply" with the ordinance. I think either modification would be
more confusing to the future homeowner. If you agree, we seek a variance; if
not we will modify the final plat to after the lot lines to match either of
the modifications presented.
Number 19:
You indicate that existing structures must be removed prior to site
development. The structures shown on the topography map existed in 1960. The
City topo map is drawn from a 1960 or 61 air photo series. Since then, the
old farm buildings have been removed. Old foundations & remnants will be
removed with development.
Number 20:
The plans have been revised to relocate the Lot 4 & 9, Block 2 driveways.
Number 21:
The preliminary plat has been amended to show a potential cul-de -sac easement
within Outlot A, at the end of existing 4th Avenue North. We do not believe
that a cul -de -sac should be built.' We suggest that the public works personnel
remove the existing curb and pavement stub from the intersection with Glacier
Lane and vacate the 4th Avenue North stub. This alternative will preserve the
existing trees and ridge that helps to buffer Harbor Place.
Number 22:
The grading plan shows the wetland area in Lot 8, Block 2 as per City maps.
As mentioned in Number 16 above, the DNR is working with us to establish the
wetland O.H.W. Additionally, Mr. Funk Svoboda, a well respected Wildlife and
wetland specialist is working with us on the Federal jurisdiction limits. We
will update you on the field located wetland edge location when the work is
finished. If necessary, we may slightly modify the plat.
Please review the data submitted and let us know if you need additional
information.
Sincerely,
Richard W. Sathre, P.E.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT
REPORT DATE: September 26, 1991 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: October 7, 1991
FILE NO.: 91017
PETITIONER: Richard Koepp
REQUEST: Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for U -Haul Rental and
outside storage of rental trailers and trucks.
LOCATION: 9605 -36th Avenue North
GUIDE PLAN CLASS: CS (Service Business)
ZONING: B -3 (Service Business District)
BACKGROUND:
The City Council, by Resolution 88 -338 approved a Conditional Use Permit on
June 20, 1988 to permit installation and operation of a propane gas dispenser
at the northeast corner of the station site. No specific Site Plan Amendment
was processed at that time for that use.
Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the Official City
Newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified. A
development sign has been placed on the property.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. The applicant has been engaged in the rental of U -haul equipment for
several years. His activities do not, however, predate the Zoning
Ordinance requirement of a Conditional Use Permit for su—activity in the
B -3 Zoning District. The fact that the applicant did not have the
required Conditional Use Permit did not come to the attention of staff
until a complaint was received from another business in the community.
They had been advised a Conditional Use Permit would be necessary for them
to initiate trailer and truck rental activities.
This application has been in process since April, 1991. The applicant
experienced some difficulties in obtaining and submitting complete
application materials. During that time period the use of the site for
rental of trucks and trailers has continued in violation of the Zoning
Ordinance.
Page Two
File 91017
2. The applicant proposes the parking of 11 U -haul trucks and trailers along
the south property line of the site. While the Site Plan submitted shows
a "6 foot high fence (proposed)" the applicant, by a letter of September
26, 1991 states that it is his intention to request a "variance" from the
City from a requirement to construct the fence.
3. Section 8 of the Zoning Ordinance specifies that "equipment rental" is a
conditional use in the B -3 Zoning District. In addition, Section 8
specifies that any outside storage of materials, products, or vehicles as
an accessory use to an otherwise permitted principal use in the B -3 Zoning
District, requires a Conditional Use Permit.
4. The Planning Commission and City Council must find that the proposed use
is in compliance with the six Conditional Use Permit standards found in
Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance before issuing any Conditional Use
Permit. A copy of those six Conditional Use Permit standards together
with the applicant's response to those standards is attached.
5. Section 10, Subdivision C, Paragraph 4, specifies that all outdoor storage
must be located and screened so as not to be visible from any classes of
residence districts, from adjoining property or from the public street. A
recent amendment to that provision allows the City Council to provide a
waiver in part, or totally from outside screening provisions in business
districts.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
1. The Conditional Use Permit requested (equipment rental and outside
storage) is found to be in compliance with the six Conditional Use Permit
standards specified by the Zoning Ordinance.
2. The Site Plan continues to be in compliance with preexisting conditions on
the site. No specific changes to the Site Plan are proposed other than
the fencing noted on the Site Plan.
3. By his letter of September 26th, the applicant has requested a total
waiver of the screening requirements of the Zoning Ordinance with respect
to the outdoor storage of the vehicles and equipment proposed to be
rented. If, as the Site Plan specifies, storage of the trucks and
trailers to be rented is limited to the "rear" of the site in the 11
spaces provided at the south property line, at least partial screening
from public streets and residential areas will be accomplished without the
addition of a fence. The property to the south of this site is also zoned
Service Commercial, and the property west of the site (across Kilmer Lane)
is zoned I -1 (Planned Industrial).
Page Three
File 91017
4. The construction of a short section of fence (approximately 50 feet)
parallel to Kilmer Lane northerly from the southwest corner of the site
would be appropriate to at least partially screen the truck and trailer
storage from the public street (Kilmer Lane).
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend adoption of the attached resolution providing for the approval of
a Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for equipment rental including outside
storage. The approval is limited to the 11 trucks or trailers as the maximum
rental inventory on site, and specifies that the on -site storage shall be
limited to the 11 spaces adjoining the south property line.
I recommend that the City grant the applicant a waiver of the outside storage
screening requirement along the east and south property line of the area to be
used for outdoor storage, but that a 50 foot section of wood vertical board
fence at least six feet in height be constructed along the property line
parallel to Kilmer Lane from the southwest corner of the property northerly.

Dear Mr. Dillerud:
oCT a
C 1 t v. RUTHCC3. .1 tp;?' Y DEVEWPMENT DEPT.
RE: Your letter of September 19, 1991 re additional conditions
I will provide the additional parking spaces as outlined in your letter.
My father and now I have rented trucks from this location since September 23,
1971. When we first began we applied to the city for all the necessary
permits and specifically asked if we had everything we needed to operate
within the ordinance requirements. Though your records don't reflect this
conversation, we were told at that time that we were in full compliance.
After 20 years of operation I am now told that I will have to construct a
fence to screen the trucks. I intend to ask the Planning Commission and the
Council for a variance from this requirement. I would be screening the trucks
from a self- service car wash,' a transmission shop and a window /door
manufacturing facility. I feel this requirement is not reasonable, and
frankly, it is beyond my financial means at this time.
I have always tried to maintain my station in a clean and orderly manner. I
want it to look nice, and I.work hard to keep it nice. I believe it looks as
good as most other businesses in the area and better than some. The trash that
blows against the fence along #169 is not mine, but I do pick it up. I invite
members of the Planning Commission and Council to come by at any time and see
for themselves, and I..certainly welcome any suggestions for improvements.
I would appreciate it if you would copy this letter to the commissioners.
Sincerely,

FILE NO.: 91082
PETITIONER: Daniel and Patricia Callahan
REQUEST: Amendment to a
Preliminary Plan
addition to an
setback.
LOCATION: 15025 -48th Avenue
GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -1 (Low Density
ZONING: RPUD 79 -2
BACKGROUND:
Residential Planned Unit Development
and Conditional Use Permit to allow an
xisting home encroaching into the rear
North
Residential)
On July 9, 1979, the City Council, by Resolution 79 -347 approved a Concept
Plan RPUD for the "Amhurst" area which includes this site.
The Residential Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and Plat were
approved by City Council Resolution 79 -544 on September 10, 1979.
On July 18, 1988, the City Council, by Resolution 88 -405 approved a Final Plat
for the Tyrell 7th Addition.
Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the Official City
Newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. Applicant proposes additions to the existing home consisting of a screened
porch 12 feet by 12 feet, and irregular depth open decking on either side
totaling approximately 20 feet along the rear elevation of the home. The
deck would "wrap around" to the north (side) of the home as well. The
screened porch is proposed to extend to within 22.5 feet of the rear
property line and the decking (at its closest point) would extend to
within 17 feet of the rear property line.
2. The Planned Unit Development Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit
did specify certain exceptions to minimum yard setbacks within the
Amhurst" PUD, but these did not include exceptions for rear setback, such
as here proposed. The Zoning Ordinance standard for rear setback
therefore would apply. The screened porch is considered principal
see next page)
Page Two
File 91082
structure and requires a rear setback of 25 feet; and, the decking is
permitted to extend into a principal structure rear setback not more than
6 feet, with the resulting effective rear setback for decking 19 feet
minimum. Applicant, therefore, is requesting an amendment to the PUD
Conditional Use Permit to allow encroachment into the rear setback by the
screened porch of 2.5 feet and by the decking a maximum of 2 feet.
3. A public trail corridor, 30 feet in width, exists immediately west of this
lot. The trail corridor ownership is by outlot, not easement.
4. The lots abutting the subject property to the west have substantially more
depth, resulting in the existing homes being physically located 60 feet
from the rear (east) property line, or more.
5. The Zoning Ordinance directs the Planning Commission to consider a RPUD
Conditional Use Permit amendment based on the six criteria found in
Section 9, subdivision A, paragraph 2A for all Conditional Use Permits, as
well as the specific considerations of a PUD Conditional Use Permit found
in Section 9, Subdivision B. A copy of the related Ordinance provisions,
together with the applicant's responses, is attached.
6. Within the findings the Planning Commission must make, but worthy of
special focus to be considered with this petition, is the consideration of
the impact of the approval of the type of Conditional Use Permit
adjustment petitioned over the entire PUD of over 350 lots. Quite apart
from the "variance" aspects of the petitioned action - -such as direct
physical impact on adjoining properties - -the Planning Commission must
consider the larger issues of setting a precedent that can be applied to
virtually any lot within this Planned Unit Development. This must be
particularly considered in the context of the current desirability of
extensive decks and three - season /screened porches throughout the
community. This then becomes a two -stage decision - making process:
a. Is the proposal reasonable in terms of the immediate impact on the
property and the adjoining properties?
b. Is the proposal in the best interests of the City, considering the
Planned Unit Development status of this site and the fact that there
are over 350 other lots of similar size and shape contained within
that Planned Unit Development?
see next page)
Page Three
File 91082
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
1. The approved Planned Unit Development Plan is the reference point for all
property owners in this development; that plan includes the approved
minimum setbacks which, because of the effective design efforts, are less
than conventional ordinance standards, with respect to side yards. Since
there was no consideration of a setback adjustment throughout the PUD,
approval of this amendment could be considered precedent unless some clear
unique characteristic is identified related to this specific lot that
would form the basis for special consideration. We cannot identify such a
unique characteristic.
2. The existence of the public trail corridor adjoining this lot to the west
rear) can be viewed from two perspectives:
a. A 30 foot outlot width could be considered to provide this lot an
effective 15 feet additional depth.
b. The utilization of the trail corridor by the public can be considered
a further reason to maintain the rear setback to the private
properties that adjoin the trail corridor.
3. If the integrity of the Planned Unit Development process is to be
maintained, adjustment to the development specifications (such as setback)
must be as carefully weighed as if they are typical variances in a
conventional context. There are no remaining PUD attributes to be
provided in return for Zoning Ordinance flexibility, as there were at the
time the PUD plan was originally approved. Unless the uniqueness and
hardship (not to include economic) characteristics that must support a
typical setback variance are demonstrated, I cannot recommend approval of
a PUD amendment of this type.
RECOMMENDATION:
I have attached Resolutions providing for both the denial (as I recommend) and
the approval of the proposed amendment to the PUD for rear setback. The
denial Resolution provides findings consistent with this staff report and the
approval Resolution provides for conditions that are standard for this type of
action.

DRAFT AMENDMENT NO. 1
HEARING DATE: October 9, 1991
DESCRIPTION:
Proposed are amendments to Section 10, Subdivision A of the Zoning Ordinance
sign regulations). A new paragraph is proposed to Subdivision A providing
for additional allowable signage, not otherwise permitted by the ordinance
related to "Temporary Outdoor Promotional Events" as defined and regulated in
Section 10, Subdivision C, Paragraph 6 c (4).
SECTIONS INVOLVED: Section 10, Subdivision A (sign regulations), and Section
10, Subdivision C, Paragraph 6 c (5) (d)
EXPLANATION /PURPOSE:
Staff has advised the Planning Commission that as Plymouth experiences growth
in the retail /commercial land use category we are repeatedly confronted with
requests for special promotional type signage related to grand openings and
similar events. Examples of this phenomenon are "skytracker" search lights,
special "reader board" signage on portable platforms, temporary banners, and
inflatable advertising (balloons). In addition these events normally include
signage of a more conventional nature that exceeds the Zoning Ordinance
Standards, but is not intended to be used for more than a very few days.
The sign regulations of the Zoning Ordinance are so constraining as to
preclude the use of most of the temporary grand opening features noted above.
We have previously requested the Planning Commission to contemplate a range of
features that is now common in anticipation of staff providing proposed
amendment to the Zoning Ordinance to allow some or all of those features under
very limited circumstances involving grand openings or other promotional
events that are licensed by the Zoning Ordinance.
The proposed amendment adds a new paragraph to the sign regulations providing
the Zoning Administrator the latitude to approve signage and other
attractional devices that may not comply with the provisions of the sign
ordinance on1Lr where such signage or devices are related to a promotional
event as defined by the Zoning Ordinance, and where such signage and devices
are not contrary to the public health, safety, convenience, and comfort. A
list of some of the more contemporary devices related to promotional events is
provided but the ordinance language allows the Zoning Administrator to approve
other similar devices as well.
An applicant for promotional event who does not receive approval from the
Zoning Administrator for his signage device may appeal that finding by the
Zoning Administrator in a manner provided for by Section 11, Subdivision C to
the Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT
PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT
REPORT DATE: September 26, 1991 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: October 9, 1991
FILE NO.: 91087
PETITIONER: Baton Corporation
REQUEST: Residential Planned Unit Development Final Site Plan
Amendment for 23 parking stalls.
LOCATION: Southwest corner of Old Rockford Road and 41st Avenue
North.
GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -1 (Low Density Residential)
ZONING:
BACKGROUND:
RPUD 76 -1
On December 5, 1983, the City Council, by Resolution 83 -657 approved a RPUD
Preliminary Plat /Plan Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan for a 3 building
211 unit apartment complex at this location.
On August 26, 1985, the City Council, by Resolutions 85 -643 and 85 -644
approved a Final Plat and reconfirmed their approval of the 1983 Site Plan for
the apartment complex.
On November 5, 1991, the City Council, by Resolution 90 -705, approved an
Amended RPUD Plan, Conditional Use Permit, and Final Site Plan for the
addition of 25 parking spaces to the site. These spaces have not been built.
Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the Official City
Newspaper, and all property owners within 500 feet have been notified. A
development sign has been placed on the property.
PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS:
1. The applicant proposes to modify the Site Plan Amendment approved by the
City Council in November, 1990 to relocate the additional parking from the
east side of the north structure to the north side of the same structure.
Access would be directly to Old Rockford Road. The number of parking
spaces that would be added to the site is proposed to be 23, rather than
the previously approved 25.
see next page)
Page Two
File 91087
2. The proposed modification to the Design continues to meet Zoning Ordinance
standards for the construction of parking facilities. Fire access
continues to be maintained and access to Old Rockford Road is not an issue
such as it was in the late 1970s when this project was first proposed.
Old Rockford Road is not now a thoroughfare.
3. Screening of the offstreet parking is proposed by berming and a relocation
of existing trees to the setback area between the proposed parking and Old
Rockford Road.
PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS:
1. While the Parkside project was in compliance with Zoning Ordinance
standards for offstreet parking at the time it was constructed there has
been a demonstrated need for additional offstreet parking, resulting in
numerous complaints from the adjoining neighborhood to the east. The
project's Conditional Use Permit and Site Plan have already received
approval for the addition of 25 parking spaces, and this request for
modification to that Site Plan to adjust the location of those spaces is
consistent with that prior action. No additional action with respect to
the Conditional Use Permit is required.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend adoption of the attached Resolution providing for the approval of
a Substitute Amendment to the Site Plan and Conditional Use Permit for
Parkside Apartments

August 20, 1991
Response To Conditional Use Permit Standards
1) As per our understanding in talking with the City of
Plymouth planning Department our proposed parking lot is
currently within compliance of the Comprehensive Plan.
2) The additional parking stalls will enhance the general
public welfare & safety and also the welfare & safety of
the tenants of Parkside Apartments by removing the
possibility of tenants having to park along 41st Avenue
north. This seems to happen quite often when the outside
inside parking spaces fill up and the tenants have no
other place to park_on the project site.
3) We feel that there should be no loss of enjoyment by
other property owners. The parking lot should help to
improve their enjoyment by eliminating a parking problem
that already exists at Parkside Apartments.
4) The addition of a parking lot on the north end of our
site will not impede development of the surrounding
property.
5) The proposed parking lot should go a long way in solving
current ingress. egress & congestion on the property at
Parkside Apartments. The traffic count will not change
due to the addition of the parking lot.
6) We are designing the proposed parking lot to conform to
all applicable regulations of the district.

SUBJECT: RESIGN OF A CHA IRMAN AND VICE CHAIRMAN
As I suggested at your last meeting, the City Council has amended the City
Code with respect to the procedure to be used in selecting a Chairman and Vice
Chairman for the Planning Commission. Those selections are now made by the
Planning Commission itself, but confirmed by the Mayor. As some commissioners
may recall, the previous procedure had been for the City Council to directly
appoint the Chairman and Vice Chairman.
Based on the foregoing, I recommend the Planning Commission consider
appointing a Chairman and Vice Chairman at this time. While I recognize the
Commission is two members "short" at this time, I do not believe that two new
appointees could be expected to have a significant impact on the selection of
a Chairman and Vice Chairman having not had any experience with the balance of
the Commission membership.
