The parcel covered by this Application was designated "Area D" of the Northwest Business Campus MPUD. On December 21, 1981, the City Council, by Resolution 81-846, approved the final plat and development contract for the "Northwest Business Campus" with the subject parcel designated one of several outlots. On January 7, 1985, the City Council, by Resolution 85-1-A, approved an MPUD Final Plan/Plat, Site Plan, and Conditional Use Permit for the Northwest Business Campus Seventh Addition. This action redivided "Area D" of the original MPUD providing for a McDonald's restaurant site in the southeast corner of "Area D" and the balance of "Area D" becoming Outlot A of the Northwest Business Campus Seventh Addition. The Northwest Business Campus MPUD has been the subject of several Final MPUD Plan actions over the past eight years, none of which directly influence "Area D", with the exception of the McDonald's action noted above Notice of this Public Hearing has appeared in the Official City Newspaper and has been mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The Applicant proposes a platting of Northwest Business Campus Outlot A into parcels representing the remainder of "Area D" of the original MPUD Page Two File 88133 plan and a lot that would represent "Area C" of the original MPUD plan. Also proposed is an amendment to the MPUD Preliminary Plan and Conditional Use Permit to change the scale and usage of "Area D" from the approved MPUD plan. Finally, the Application provides for the final plat/site plan covering the area known as "Area D" of the original MPUD as it is proposed to be amended. The total final plat covers an area of 15.1 gross acres and the final site plan covering "Area D" encompasses 5.25 acres. 2. The Amendment to the MPUD Conditional Use Permit/Preliminary Plan proposed for what is known as "Area D" of the Northwest Business Campus MPUD is to increase the square footage to be constructed within "Area D" from the presently approved 25,000 square feet to a proposed 38,200 square feet. The approved Preliminary Plan for "Area D" contemplates five freestanding structures (one of which is the McDonald's site), while the present proposal for "Area D" is a single structure in addition to the already existing McDonald's site. The uses currently approved for "Area D" contemplate five lots, as noted above, for the combination of the following uses: a) one convenience store; b) two Class I restaurants; c) two Class II restaurants (fast food); d) two banking facilities. At no time would there be any more than one convenience store, or, more than two Class I restaurants, or, more than two Class II restaurants, or, more than two banking facilities in this area (for a total of two banking facilities on the entire project). There would be a total of five uses. With the construction of the McDonald's responsive to the 1985 approval, one Class II restaurant has been constructed, leaving four uses of which no more than one can be a second Class II restaurant. The Applicant proposes to broaden the list of potential tenants within Area D" from the limited description of the original Approval noted above to include such uses as florist, phone store, candy shop, card shop, book store, stationery, office products, optical, shoe repair, cleaners, printer, travel agent, package mail, employment services, medical/dental, legal, and real estate. These would be in addition to the banking, restaurant, and convenience store uses that have already been approved for the site. 3. This site is a portion of an approved MPUD. The findings of Section 9, Subdivision B, Paragraph 5j of the Zoning Ordinance applied to this amendment in the same manner that they've applied to the previously approved MPUD for the Northwest Business Campus. These findings are as follows: a. Compatibility with the stated purposes and intent of the planned unit development. Because no retail commercial land use guiding is assigned to this parcel, the development of "Area D" of the Northwest Business Campus Plan is responsive to a specific clause of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance. Section 9, Subdivision B, Paragraph 2 of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance provides that consideration will be given to the integration of "small retail convenience centers, medical and professional offices . . . Page Three File 88133 provided such uses are designed and intended primarily for the use of the residents in the development . . . ". It is responsive to this provision that the original commercial uses of "Area D" were proposed, and it is also responsive to this clause that the Applicant now proposes to expand both the scale and types of uses within "Area D". The Planning Commission, in its finding as to compatibility with the Planned Unit Development Ordinance, should determine both whether the scale of the currently proposed retail development (38,200 square feet) and the broadened variety of uses proposed continues to qualify the plan for this area within the context of the Planned Unit Development Ordinance provision as the sole basis for this commercial development. b. Relationship to the proposed plan to the neighborhood in which it is proposed to be located to the city's comprehensive plan, and to other provisions of the Zoning Ordinance. One key aspect of the relationship of what is now proposed to the comprehensive plan and the surrounding neighborhood is that of traffic generation. Substantial study has taken place by both the traffic consultants of the Applicant and Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch, representing the City of Plymouth, with regard to the incremental traffic impact of the current proposal compared to previously approved Commercial Plan for "Area D". The latest study by Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch presents evidence sufficient to satisfy the Director of Public Works that the traffic impact of the currently proposed development for "Area D" is not of large enough increment to create future problems with the existing design for traffic handling in this area. Comprehensive plan relationship must also be considered in terms of the introduction of a retail commercial land use in an area not guided for such a land use. At some scale of activity, an introduction of an unscheduled land use must impact similar types of land use that are existing components of the Land Use Guide Plan. The planned commercial areas at County Road 9 and 494; the southwest quadrant of 494 and 55; and Vicksburg Lane and Highway 55 will at some point be impacted by a commercial development at this location if it is created on a scale larger than necessary to simply serve the "population" of the MPUD. c. Internal organization and adequacy of various uses or densities; circulation and parking facilities: recreation areas and open spaces. The final site plan responds positively to the several ordinances and policies with respect to the design of the site. Specifically, parking facilities are adequately located, set back, and are of sufficient quantity; landscaping is responsive to the landscaping policy; structures are set back consistent with the city ordinance; the site plan is responsive to provisions of the sign ordinance with respect to B-2 zoning districts; all waste containers and roof top mechanical equipment is addressed responsive to the ordinance; and the plan for stacking for the gas pump area is of adequate design. 4. The architectural appearance of the proposed structure is of predominantly brick with stucco and metal trim. No specific colors have been stated by the Applicant, but in the Design Statement, dated Fehrtiary 8, 1989, the Page Four File 88133 Applicant's architects indicate that the structure will be "complementary to the Northwest Business Campus". Generally the proposal responds positively to the standards and criteria regarding site and building aesthetics in architectural design that have been adopted by the City of Plymouth. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. The quantitative impact of the proposed Plan Amendment to "Area D" of the Northwest Business Campus with respect to infrastructure systems of the city, particularly the road system, does not appear to be significant. 2. Staff continues to be concerned with the integrity of the Planned Unit Development provisions for retail use where no retail land use guiding exists. The concept of service to the MPUD must be constantly focused upon if one is to avoid quickly crossing the line from a directed retail service to one of a more general nature. Were this site not visible from State Highway 55, the issue of retail service to other than the MPUD would not be as obvious. Where Highway 55 visibility is available to this site a highway service commercial function is certainly possible, regardless of the purity of intent with respect to service to the MPUD only. The city then has created a highway service commercial zone without the benefit of the rigorous analysis land -use classification which would otherwise accompany a change from limited commercial to service business. 3. On the basis of the scale of the Northwest Business Campus, we are prepared to support the concept of an expanded commercial endeavor within Area D" both in terms of scale and in terms of variety of retail use as offered. We believe, however, that the variety of uses should be carefully screened to concentrate on those which would be considered service to the Northwest Business Campus MPUD. Those uses would include those previously approved for "Area D" together with those specified previously in this staff report, and contained on page 4 of the BRW letter to the city dated October 21, 1988. An exception to that list would be a real estate office. We fail to see how a real estate office directly serves the Northwest Business Campus MPUD. We would support the continued limitation as to the number of restaurants by type and banking institutions as contained in the original approval of the Northwest Business Campus MPUD for "Area V.

Subsequently on April 20, 1981, the City Council approved a revised preliminary plat and general development plan for this area. On June 17, 1985, the City Council, by Resolution 85-424, approved a final plat and development contract for the Carlson Center Third Addition. That final plat incorporated all 14 lots contained within this application. Rezoning of the 14 lots to R-2 was accomplished concurrent with the final plat action. Notice of this Public Hearing has been published in the Official City Newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: I. Proposed is a "blanket" Conditional Use Permit covering 14 lots of the Carlson Center Third Addition to allow construction of two-family dwellings consistent with Section 7, Subdivision C, No. 2 of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance. A Conditional Use Permit is required for a two-family dwelling in residential zoning districts R -1B through R-4. 2. The most current General Development Plan (March 20, 1981) for this area of the Carlson Center project clearly anticipates the development of these Y 14 lots as duplex sites. The 14 lots are of the required area, width at the front setback line, and depth consistent with the provisions of Section 7, Subdivision D, Paragraphs 1, 3, and 4 of the Zoning Ordinance to qualify as two-family sites. 3. The Zoning Ordinance provides for the Planning Commission to review all applications for Conditional Use Permits and consider such applications with respect to conformance with six specific standards. Those standards are found in Section 9, Subdivision A, Paragraph 2 of the Zoning Ordinance. A copy of those standards is attached to the Staff Report. The Petitioner has submitted narrative support for his Application responsive to the Conditional Use Permit standards by a letter dated March 2, 1989, included with the Staff Report. In addition, the Petitioner has submitted a schematic design for the two-family dwelling units that would be constructed on these 14 sites. The Petitioner is not required to submit a specific site plan, and the drawings that have been submitted for the two-family structures are considered only as schematic to indicate the architectural appearance intended by the Petitioner. 4. A review of the 14 sites within the context of the Plymouth Physical Constraints Analysis finds them to be located in the Bassett Creek Watershed District; not to be located in any existing shoreland, floodplain, or wetland of significance; to contain a small portion of significant woodlands; to be of generally less than 12% slopes and to be suitable for urban development with public sewers. No physical constraints appear that would preclude development of the 14 lots with two-family dwellings. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: I. We find that the proposed Conditional Use Permit to develop 14 lots is consistent with the approved preliminary plat, General Development Plan, and guiding/zoning of the 14 lots. Two-family development of these lots has been contemplated since the 1981 approval of the preliminary plat and General Development Plan. 2. We find that the proposed Conditional Use Permit responds positively to the six standards found in Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance that form the basis for the Planning Commission recommendation for a Conditional Use Permit. 3. We note that the construction of County Road 61 has resulted in an extended median south from Sixth Avenue North that precludes left turns into and out of Fifth Avenue North servicing this neighborhood. This design feature will tend to direct traffic to/from the south serving these 14 lots to use the Sunset Trail intersection with County Road 61. The total "extra" ADT (average daily traffic) using Zinnia Lane or Berkshire Lane as the result of the two-family structures would appear to be less than 60 vehicles per day, and therefore not significant. 4. The proposed development of the 14 lots for two-family dwellings is as consistent with the Physical Constraints Analysis as use of single-family lots would be. RECOMMENDATION: We hereby recommend approval of the proposed Conditional Use Permit to allow construction of two-family dwellings on 14 lots now zoned R-2 in the Carlson Center Third Addition. The attached draft resolution provides for approval subject to standard conditions. Submitted by: Charles E. Dillerud, Community Development Coordinator ATTACHMENTS: 1.

No variances to setback or other standards are approved. 3. All dead, dying and diseased tress shall be removed at owner's expense. 4.

We believe the issuance of a blanket conditional use permit to allow for the development of two-family residences on these 14 duplex lots is in conformance with the following standards as set forth in Section 9 of the Zoning Ordinance: 1. Compliance with the Comprehensive Plan. 2. The proposed use will not be detrimental to the public welfare. 3. The proposed use will not be injurious to the use and enjoyment of neighboring property and will not substantially diminish or impair property values within the neighborhood. 3222 Plaza VII, 45 South Seventh Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55402 612-333-9898 Mr. Charles Dillerud March 2, 1989 Page Two 4. The proposed use will not impede the normal and orderly development and improvement of surrounding property. 5. The local streets have been designed and constructed so as to provide adequate ingress and egress and to minimize traffic congestion in the area. 6. The proposed use shall conform to the applicable regulations of the R-2 District. It is my understanding that this application can be scheduled for the April 12, 1989, meeting of the Planning Commission. Please let me know if this is not the case. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or would like any additional information concerning this application. Thank you very much for your assistance.

REQUEST: Conditional Use Permit for a Class II Restaurant to be located in the Waterford Park Plaza Shopping Center LOCATION: Northeast corner of State Highway 55 and Revere Lane GUIDE PLAN CLASS: CL (Limited Business) ZONING: BACKGROUND: MPUD 86-1 On August 24, 1987, by Resolution 87-540, the City Council approved a Land Use Guide Plan Amendment and Planned Unit Development Concept Plan to permit construction of a retail/office development on a site of 21.3 acres. An MPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit was approved for this site by City Council Resolution 88-308 on June 6, 1988. Notice of this Public Hearing was published in the Official City Newspaper and mailed to all property owners within 500 feet. A development sign was placed on the property. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. Applicant proposes to utilize one 1,400 square foot bay of the new Waterford Park Plaza neighborhood shopping center (Bay 104) as a Subway Sandwich (Class II) restaurant. The facility would seat 32 and feature a 42 square foot service counter area for carryout orders. 2. The carryout function proposed results in the classification of the proposed restaurant as "Class II". Class II restaurants are allowable only by a Conditional Use Permit in the commercial zoning districts. Section 9, Subdivision A, Paragraph 2, of the City Code provides six standards that the Planning Commission is required to consider in its review and recommendation to the City Council on any Conditional Use Permit. A copy of those six standards is attached to this Staff Report. The Applicant has provided a narrative response to the six standards with his Application of March 17, 1989. That narrative response together with a brief description of their request is attached to this Staff Report as well. 3. The restaurant use as proposed will generate the requirement for 16 off- street parking spaces based on a formula of one off-street parking space for each 2-1/2 seats, plus one off-street parking space for each 15 square feet of service counter area. The same 1,400 square foot area as a retail use will generate a need for nine off-street parking spaces based on the formula of six spaces per 1,000 square feet of floor area. Therefore, the proposed Conditional Use Permit will generate a off-street parking need seven spaces in excess of the off-street parking designed for the shopping center. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We find that the proposed restaurant use responds affirmatively to the six standards specified by the Zoning Ordinance for all Conditional Use Permits. 2. We find that the off-street parking provisions are complied with, partly as a function of being one of the early uses in the structure, but we caution the owner of the shopping center that the "running count" is maintained by the Planning Department. Restaurant utilization of shopping center space, particularly Class II restaurants, rapidly involves off- street parking beyond that of retail use. As the center approaches full occupancy, lack of off-street parking may preclude additional certificates of occupancy because existing uses have absorbed all available off-street parking by formula. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend approval of the Conditional Use Permit for a Class II restaurant in the Waterford Park Plaza Shopping Center (Bay 104) subject to the standard conditions contained in the attached Resolution of Approval.

A. CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT REPORT DATE April 4, 1989 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: April 12, 1989 FILE NO.: 88146 PETITIONER: OPUS Corporation/Tennant Corporation REQUEST: MPUD Final Site Plan/Final Plat LOCATION: Northwest corner of County Road 18 (Highway 169) and County Road 10 (Bass Lake Road) GUIDE PLAN CLASS: I -P (Planned Industrial) and CL (Limited Business) ZONING: BACKGROUND: MPUD 89-1 By Resolution 81-339 an MPUD Concept Plan was approved on the subject parcel for the Tennant Company in 1981. Concurrent with that action, by Resolution 81-340, the Land Use Guide Plan was also amended, resulting in guiding of the property to CL (the eastern portion) and I -P (the western portion). On February 27, 1989, the City Council, by Resolution 89-105, approved an amended MPUD Concept Plan for this site reflecting minor changes in layout and proposed use. On that same date, the City Council adopted Resolution 89-106, approving an MPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit with detailed design for the 25 -acre center section of the MPUD involving a structure of 200,000 square feet to be occupied by Schneider USA. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The proposal is for an MPUD Final Plan/Plat creating a lot of 25 acres and an outlot constituting the balance of the Tennant Corporate Center MPUD. The MPUD Final Site Plan submitted is for the construction of a 200,000 square foot single -tenant headquarters/production facility for Schneider USA. 2. Section 9, Subdivision B, Paragraph 5k, of the Zoning Ordinance provides that the final plat and site plan shall be in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary Site Plan and Plat. Responsive to that requirement, the floor area presented with this Final Site Plan has not been increased over the floor area approved with the MPUD Preliminary Plat/Plan/Conditional Use Permit. There has been no decrease or alteration in the original configuration of open space to the site. The approved MPUD Preliminary Plan does not include any public open space, with all public open space requirements to be met in the form of cash fees in lieu. All special conditions of the Preliminary Plan/Plat/Conditional Use Permit Approval Resolution have been complied with to the extent that such compliance is appropriate with respect to the Final Site Plan. Those conditions not as yet applicable will be carried forward to the development contract or the resolution of conditions to meet prior to filing of the final plat. 3. Review of the Final Site Plan in the context of the Plymouth Physical Constraints Analysis reveals that site is located within the Shingle Creek Watershed District; does contain floodplain but not with respect to the immediate site upon which the Final Site Plan is proposed; is partially within the shoreline management area of Bassett Creek and meets the shoreland overlay zoning requirements that are imposed; contains no wetlands of significance within the immediate site that is proposed for the Final Site Plan; contains no woodlands on the immediate site proposed for Final Site Plan; contains no slopes of significance over 12%; and is suitable for urban development with public sewers over the portion of the site that is subject to this Final Site Plan. 4. The Final Site Plan responds affirmatively to the several ordinances and policies of the City of Plymouth that relate to site design. Specifically, the site plan meets all ordinance setback provisions; meets ordinance lot coverage (specifically, lot coverage within the shoreland area) requirements; meets all landscape policy requirements; complies with ordinance requirements with regard to signage and screening of roof top mechanical equipment; meets ordinance requirements with respect to the outside trash enclosure; and meets roadway access and circulation requirements established by the traffic study completed by the city traffic consultants, Strgar-Roscoe-Fausch. 5. The structure proposed by the Final Site Plan will initially stand alone with respect to appearance. The proposed medium brown base brick and aluminum/glass exterior treatment will set a positive architectural standard for this MPUD, and be consistent with the standards and criteria regarding site and building aesthetics and architectural design of the City of Plymouth. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We find the proposed Final Plat/Final Site Plan to be in substantial compliance with the approved Preliminary Plat/Plan/Conditional Use Permit for the Tennant Corporate Center MPUD. 2. We find the final site plan to meet the applicable standards of the Plymouth Zoning Ordinance and related planning policy. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend approval of the Final Plat/Final Site Plan for the Tennant Corporate Center (Schneider USA) subject to standard and special conditions reflected in the attached draft resolution of approval.

CITY OF PLYMOUTH COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT PLANNING AND ZONING APPLICATION STAFF REPORT REPORT DATE March 10, 1989 COMMISSION MEETING DATE: March 22, 1989 FILE NO.: 89010 PETITIONER: Edward and Virginia Nordling REQUEST: Division of platted property and Variance to Subdivision Regulations to create a new building lot LOCATION: 12830 11th Avenue North (Northeast quadrant of Windemere Drive and 11th Avenue North) GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -1 (Low Density Residential) ZONING: R1 -A (Low Density Single Family Residential) BACKGROUND: This parcel of property was originally platted as a part of the Glen Echo Lake Addition. The Community Development Department files contain no historical information concerning the review and approval of that subdivision. It is likely that the subdivision took place prior to 1968. The land lying immediately south of the subject parcel was platted as the Glenloch 2nd Addition in 1968. Although platted as a "conventional" subdivision, it is apparent from the minutes of the City Council that the plat was treated in a PUD fashion that allowed numerous lots to be below the then current Ordinance standards for width and size. In essence, the City Council granted numerous Variances to the Zoning Ordinance standards when they approved the Glenloch 2nd Addition. To the north and west (across the pond from this parcel) lies the Glen Echo Ponds subdivision. This land was platted in 1984 and is a part of MPUD 84-1. The minimum lot size is 9,800 square feet and the average lot size is 12,150 square feet. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. Proposed by the Applicant is the division of a platted lot of 26,614 square feet into two lots, one of 12,828 square feet (new) and one of 13,786 (existing structure). The subdivision action is petitioned responsive to the City Code Section 500.37 with regard to the division of platted lots. (Copy attached). Staff Report (89010) March 10, 1989 Page 2 2. Also applied for are Variances to the Subdivision Ordinance with respect to lot area and lot width at the front setback line. The proposed lot sizes are 12,828 square feet and 13,786 square feet where 18,500 square feet is required for a conventional lot in the R1 -A district. Lot width proposed at the setback lines are approximately 100 feet where the Zoning Ordinance specifies 110 feet for parcels in the R1 -A district. 3. The subject parcel is located in a plat of lots created well before the City of Plymouth had Ordinances that allowed flexibility in lot design. The lot directly abutting to the west has an area of approximately 20,000 square feet; the lot directly abutting on the east an area of approximately 20,000 square feet; and, the three lots to the south - across 11th Avenue North - areas of 16,000 square feet, 15,000 square feet and 13,500 square feet. Lot frontages east and west of the subject parcel are 137 to 151 feet, and south of this parcel are 86 to 197 feet. What results is a field situation with respect to this particular lot, together with a handful of others in the immediate vicinity where land development in adjacent plat has been accomplished in response to a different set of rules, resulting in substantially smaller lots and lesser lot frontages. 4. The Petitioner has submitted a written narrative in support of his division action and Variances which has been attached for the consideration of the Planning Commission. 5. Field inspection of the site reveals that the home on a parcel immediately to the west of the subject parcel is fairly well centered on that large parcel and therefore exists at least 30 feet from the common property line. It should be noted, however, that the RI -A side setback requirements are 15 feet and, therefore, the parcel immediately to the west would have a right to, at some point in the future, construct an addition or accessory structure to within 15 feet of the common property line. What may appear to be plentiful "open space" in terms of house placement could change over time. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: I. The division of platted property responsive to Section 500.37 of the City Code meets all submission requirements and, standing alone, the division would appear to be responsive to the City Code. 2. We find that there may be some basis to the contention that the owner of a parcel of 26,000+ square feet (such as is the case here) may be deprived of the reasonable use of that land when it is his desire to divide that property into parcels of a size and a design similar to others in a portion of the adjoining neighborhood. It should be noted, however, that those lots of similar size and design within the neighboring Glen Echo Ponds addition were developed as a Staff Report (89010) March 10, 1989 Page 3 Planned Unit Development. As such, the flexibility in lot size and frontage must have been responsive to a developer showing as to enhanced design and/or other benefits to the City of his subdivision. 2. Staff finds that the Applicant could probably continue to preserve and enjoy substantial property rights without the granting of these Variances. It could also be said that his property rights will be enhanced, resulting in greater enjoyment if the Variances are granted. 3. Staff cannot find that granting the Variances proposed will be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the area in which the property is located. However, it is not apparent that the request satisfies the other Variance criteria in Section 500.41. RECOMMENDATION: We recommend the Variances required for the petitioned land division be denied. Based on the mechanics of the application, this recommendation for denial would also extend to the division itself, in that the Ordinance cannot be followed in dividing this property without the requested Variances. We have attached a Resolution of denial for consideration of the Planning Commission. We have attached a second Resolution providing for approval of the requested action consistent with prior direction of the Planning Commission. Submitted by: Cha E.

Director of Public Works 2 Aside from the fact that sub-dividing and selling a portion of our property would give us the opportunity for financial gain, some other reasons for our request for a variance are as follows: Other properties across the street and less than a block from ours are approximately the same size as our proposed lot. As our children were growing up, the portion of our property involved was a wonderful playground for them. They are all grown now, so we no longer need this land for that purpose. There is a lot of upkeep involved in maintaining this land. It is costly and very time consuming. We would like to get away from both the time involved and the expense. There is a great demand for property of this kind in Plymouth, and not much left in the area on which to build. A nicely designed house on the land would be an attractive addition to the neighborhood and increase the value of adjoining properties. Tax revenue from the property would also benefit the city of Plymouth. V1 #: qp . 10 40 4 LAUL-1-9—z '—'o 0. L.

Variances. Subdivision 1. General Conditions. The Planning Commission may recommend a variance from the provisions of this Section as to specific properties when, in its judgment, an unusual hardship on the land exists. In granting a variance, the Commission may prescribe conditions that it deems necessary or desirable in the public interest. In making its findings, as required below, the Commission shall consider the nature of the proposed use of the land and the existing use of land in the vicinity, the number of persons to reside or work in the proposed subdivision, and the probable effect of the proposed subdivision upon traffic conditions in the vicinity. No variance shall be granted unless the Commission finds: a) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the specific property such that the strict application of the provisions of this Section would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the land. b) That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. c) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the property is situated. The Commission findings in granting or denying a variance shall be in writing and filed with the City Clerk. Subd. 2. Application Required. Applications for arjy variance under this Subsection shall be submitted in writing by the owner or subdivider at the time the preliminary plat is filed for consideration by the Planning Commission, and shall state all facts relied upon by the applicant, and shall be supplemented with maps, plans or other additional data which may aid the Commission in the analysis of the proposed project. The plans for such development shall include such covenants, restrictions or other legal provisions necessary to guarantee the full achievement of the plan for the proposed project. 500.43. Compliance; Waivers; Building Permits. Subdivision 1. Conveyance of Land. Any person who conveys land by metes and bounds or by reference to an unapproved plat or registered land survey in violation of the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.358, Subdivision 4, is subject to the penalty provisions of that Section. Subd. 2. Waiver of Compliance. In any case where compliance with the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 462.358, Subdivision 4 will create an unnecessary hardship and failure to comply will not interfere with the purpose of this Section, the City Council may by resolution waive compliance with this Subsection, provided, however, that the proposed conveyance has been reviewed by the Planning Commission and the Commission has found that it complies with all provisions of this Section. Plymouth City Codt 500.35 Subd. 3. Subdivider May Perform Work; Election. The owner or subdivider may elect to construct the improvements required by this Subsection at his own expense and without City participation in the expense thereof. In such event, the owner or subdivider may retain an engineer and contractor to plan, design and install such services, subject to review and inspection by the City Engineer. The estimated cost of the improvements, including the administrative charges of the City Engineer for supervision and inspection, shall be included in the owner or subdivider's contract with the City, pursuant to Subsection 500.35, and the appropriate security in the form of cash or bond shall be deposited with the City as required by that Subsection. 500.35. Subdivision Contract. In order to effectuate the provisions of 500.25 to 00.31, the owner or subdivider shall enter into a subdivision contract with the City providing for the installation of the improvements required by those Subsections. The subdivision contract shall provide for, among other things, security to the City in the form of a surety bond, or cash in lieu thereof, in such amount as the City Engineer shall deem to be adequate to insure the satisfactory completion of the improvements. The subdivision contract shall be satisfactory in form and substance to the City Attorney. 500.37. Division or Consolidation of Platted Lots. Subdivision 1. General Rule. The division and consolidation of lots which are part of a recorded plat and tracts which are part of a recorded Registered Land Survey is subject to the provi- sions of this Subsection. Subd. 2. Filing; Survey. The owner of lots, or tracts, to be so divided or consolidated shall file an application for such division or consolidation with the Building Inspector, together with a proposed survey plat or registered land survey of the lots or tracts to be divided or consolidated, showing the dimensions of the lots or tracts as measured upon the recorded plat or survey, and the proposed division or consolidation thereof. A written description of the separately described lots or tracts resulting from the proposed division or consolidation shall be filed with such plat or survey. The plat or survey shall also show the location of all buildings then existing and all proposed structures to be built upon the lots or tracts to be divided or consolidated. Subd. 3. Inspection; Fee. Upon receipt by the Building Inspector of the application required by Subdivision 2, and upon the payment by the applicant of the fee set by Chapter X, the Building Inspector shall make a physical inspection of the lot or lots proposed to be divided or consolidated. Subd. 4. Council Action. Following the inspection of the lot or lots to be divided or consolidated, the Building Inspector shall cause the application to be placed upon the agenda of the City Council for the next regular meeting of the Council following such inspection. The Building Inspector shall transmit to the City Council the application and all materials related thereto with his recommendation with respect to the application. Subd. 5. Building Permits. No building permit shall be issued for the construction of a structure on lots or tracts divided or consolidated contrary to the provisions of this Subsection. Correspondence Received from Edward Nordling April 6, 1989 VARIANCES a) When we built our home 20 years ago, we bought this oversized lot with the idea that some day we would be able to sub -divide and sell the proposed portion. We have been a part of this community for 20 years, raised our family here, and paid taxes. We are not just a developer trying to make a quick buck, but res- ponsible members of the community who plan to stay. There are only a few lots in the immediate vicinity larger than the proposed lots, all of the others in Glen Echo 2nd Addition and Glen Echo Ponds Sub -division are the same size or substantially smaller. Therefore this lot would not alter the character of the neighborhood. A commercial development exists within a couple of blocks. b) As the property is now, we have extra expense in upkeep and taxes. Sub -dividing will allow us retirement dollars we have always counted on. We bought the property as an investment for the future. Glen Echo 2nd Addition and Glen Echo Ponds Sub -division were given variances for smaller lot sizes, therefore we should be given the same rights. c) 1. There are no water problems 2. There are no wetland problems 3. There are no access problems 4. It is a standard building envelope 5.

The lot was purchased from Harold Hytjan and Amelia Hytjan, the same persons from whom the Petitioners had purchased their lot. In the fall of 1982 and the spring of 1983 we architecturally designed and constructed a 2,600 square foot home. At the time of the purchase of the lot in 1972 and currently to date, the residential zoning of the property was and is R1 -A, low density single family residential. The lot sizes under R1 -A zoning are a minimum of 18,500 square feet. When we purchased our single family lot, we relied upon the fact that the property we purchased was part of a subdivision that complied with the zoning of the City of Plymouth. We further were cognizant of the lot sizes and specifically purchased our lot in this residential area knowing that the lot City of Plymouth April 5, 1989 Page 2 sizes were large and the houses were not crowded together. We never dreamed the Petitioners would ever think about subdividing their property into two lots as both we and the Petitioners enjoy the open spaces between our houses as well as the pond to the North. Our architect specifically sited and centered our home on the lot to take advantage of the size of both lots and the open spaces. The Petitioners are seeking two variances; one being a reduction in lot size from 18,500 square feet to 12,838 square feet, and secondly, proposed front setback line of 100 feet from 110 feet. Nothing has changed since we purchased our lot to demonstrate that the zoning is currently inappropriate nor should the City Planning Commission nor the City change the current lot size and requirements for R1 -A zoning as we and others in the subdivision have relied upon this density and each purchased lots and built under the current zoning. The City has adopted the particular lot size and zoning for R1 -A as well as certain minimum lot widths at the front setback line and all we are asking is that the City abide by its own requirements. In recognition that the City should only grant a variance from the zoning when a hardship exists and there are special circumstances, the City of Plymouth Ordinance 500.41 requires no variance shall be granted unless the Commission finds: a) That there are special circumstances or conditions affecting the specific property such that the strict application of the provisions of this Section would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of the land. The staff of the City of Plymouth specifically found that the Petitioners have not met this criteria. The Petitioners seem to believe that the criteria for Code 500.41(a) can be met by simply having the Petitioners show that they will have an economic gain from such variance and further subdivision. Economic hardship is not the criteria and should not be a factor for granting the variance. The Petitioners have the same full use and enjoyment of their land as when they originally purchased it. City of Plymouth April 5, 1989 Page 3 If the Petitioners wanted two lots, as they now seek to accomplish by a variance, then at the time the Petitioners purchased the property they should have sought to subdivide it at that time before the other lots were purchased, or alternatively purchased two lots. Furthermore, the Petitioners purchase preceded our purchase and certainly the Petitioners had the same opportunity to purchase our lot had they so desired to purchase two lots. Further, hardship or special circumstances must be caused by the particular physical surroundings, shape or topography of the land and not solely for economic gain. Moreover, the fact that smaller lot sizes exist across from the subdivision in the adjoining neighborhood is only because a Planned Unit Development design was implemented at that time and is not relevant here. b) That the variance is necessary for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right of the applicant. Again, the staff of the City of Plymouth found that this criteria was not met by the Petitioners. The conditions and reasons set forth and requested by the Petitioners for the variance (i.e., financial gain, inconvenience and an additional lot), are NOT UNIQUE and generally applicable to all property owners in Plymouth. c) That the granting of the variance will not be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property in the territory in which the property is situated. The staff of the City of Plymouth did not find that the granting of the variance in the area to be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to the other property in the area in which the property is located. We take exception to such finding. The proposed subdivision of the existing lot would create two lots consisting of 12,828 square feet and 13,786 square feet in a R1 -A zone where lot City of Plymouth April 5, 1989 Page 4 requirements are 18,500 square feet. This would be at the expense of us and result in the taking of additional open space and creating lots 40% less in size than our lot. When we purchased the property, we relied upon the low density and the particular lot sizes. We and our neighbors will be injured by the granting of the variance, all for the mere fact that the Petitioners would like to create a financial gain at the expense of their neighbors and for the inconvenience of having to maintain the property they have maintained for all these years. In addition, the City of Plymouth has numerous lots and does not need an additional building lot especially where those lots have been platted for over twenty (20) years. It is respectfully requested that the Planning Commission unanimously deny the variances and if possible, further strengthen the resolutions of the denial by further expanding the resolutions setting forth additional reasons why such denial is appropriate. We strongly believe that the legal requirements for a variance do not exist in this case. There are no special circumstances which justify changing the rules which the City has prescribed for the benefits of the entire area we live in. We respectfully submit this for your consideration. We plan to be at the City Planning Commission Meeting to further answer any questions the Commissioners may have in this regard. Very truly yours, William S.

REQUEST: RPUD Final Site Plan/Final Plat for Boulder Ridge (Phase III of Harrison Hills) LOCATION: Southeast corner of County Road 10 and Zachary Lane GUIDE PLAN CLASS: LA -2 (Low Density Multiple Residence) ZONING: BACKGROUND: RPUD 80-2 In August, 1979 the City Council approved an RPUD Concept Plan for "Harrison Hills" which included this parcel as part of an 82.9 acre site. This approved Concept Plan was later revised by the City Council under Resolution No. 80-143. In June, 1980 the City Council approved an RPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat and Conditional Use Permit for Harrison Hills, including this land. The total unit count for the entire RPUD was 252. In 1983, by Resolution No. 83-293 a revised RPUD Preliminary Plan/Plat was approved with this portion of the RPUD approved to include 104 condominium units and 7 multiple family buildings. In August, 1983 the City Council approved a Final Plat for Harrison Hills Second Addition. That plat included 70 single family residential lots with the current site platted as an outlot. On November 7, 1988 the City Council, by Resolution No. 88-782, approved an amended RPUD Preliminary Plat/Plan and Conditional Use Permit to reduce the unit count on this site to 53 single family attached townhouses. PRIMARY ISSUES AND ANALYSIS: 1. The Final Site Plan presented is for 53 single family attached townhouses on this site of 12.8 net acres. The unit count and overall design proposed is responsive to the approved amended RPUD Preliminary Plat/Plan and Conditional Use Permit for the parcel. Staff Report (88124) March 24, 1989 Page Two 2. The conditions of Resolution No. 88-782, which approves the RPUD Preliminary Plat/Plan and Conditional Use Permit, that would apply to this portion of the RPUD plan are either responded to, or are to be carried forward into the Resolution Setting Conditions Prior to Filing of the Final Plat, or the Development Contract. 3. The plan in all other respects meets the standards of the Zoning Ordinance and is not influenced or modified by the RPUD Preliminary Plat/Plan and Conditional Use Permit. Specifically, the Landscape Plan is consistent with the Landscape Ordinance of the City of Plymouth; no external lighting is proposed other than decorative; trash will be handled internally within the structures; and all private/public site improvements respond to the standards established by the City of Plymouth. PLANNING STAFF COMMENTS: 1. We find the proposed Final Plat is responsive to the approved Preliminary Plat/Plan and Conditional Use Permit with respect to general layout and dwelling unit count. Conditions related to this portion of the approved Preliminary Plan are responded to, or will be carried forward in the Resolution Setting Conditions Prior to Filing of the Final Plat/Development Contract. RECOMMENDATION: We hereby recommend approval of the draft Resolutions Approving the RPUD Final Plan/Plat, and Setting Conditions Prior to Filing of the Final Plat. We have carried forward those conditions of the Preliminary Plat/Plan approval that are appropriate. Submitted by: Charles E. Dillerud, Community Development Coordinator ATTACHMENTS: I.
