ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION –JUNE 19, 20134 While PUD projects should be evaluated based more on whether the Master Plan meets the standards and less on whether individuallots are deficient, Staff is concerned about the lack of landscaping being proposed for Lot One. The Planning Commission should determine if the landscape coverage for Lot One is sufficient given the landscaping plan for the site as a whole.

Height –Meets Requirements The maximum height for buildings in the B3 District is 35 feet. None of the proposed buildings would exceed this height. C. Setbacks –Flexibility Requested The minimum setback for principal buildings in the B3 District is 50 feet in the front yard, and 20 feet in the rear and side yards. For accessory structures, the minimum setback is 10 feet in the rear and side yards. In planned unit developments, the building setbacks from the internal lot lines are less of a concern. The primary concern is the setback measurement from Red Fox Road and Lexington Avenue, and the adjacent properties to the west and the south of the development. The following table lists the setbacks for each building.
