<br />12.The existing dwelling and the proposed garage are outside of the 100-year flood plain, <br />wetlands, and easements. <br /> <br />13.The property directly east of the subject property located at 1834 Venus Avenue <br />encroaches into the secondary front yard setback along Rolling Hills Road approximately <br />fifteen (15) feet. <br /> <br />Variance Findings: <br /> <br />14.The proposal is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as the <br />Ordinance generally allows flexibility for unique parcels and situations when impacts to <br />surrounding properties are minimized. <br /> <br />15.The proposal is consistent with the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan as it allows the <br />reasonable use of residential property. <br /> <br />16.Single family dwelling are permitted and a reasonable use within the R-1 Single Family <br />Residential Zoning District. <br /> <br />17.The lot has rather unique characteristics for a corner lot within the City. The property is <br />situated on a corner lot, of which only one of the right-of-ways, Venus Avenue, consists <br />of an improved surface. The right-of-way known as Rolling Hills Road along the east <br />side of the property is unimproved and is used for trail purposes only. There are no plans <br />at this time to extend or improve this right-of-way. <br /> <br />18.The proposed addition would be visible from neighboring properties; however, the <br />addition would not be inconsistent in terms of setbacks and lot coverage requirements for <br />typical non-corner lots. The property owner would match the materials used for siding <br />and roofing to the existing dwelling, which should minimize the impacts on surrounding <br />property owners. <br /> <br />19.The proposed addition is unlikely to have negative impacts to the property or to the <br />neighborhood as a whole. Based on the proposed setbacks the property would function <br />as a typical non-corner lot within the R-1 Single Family Residential District. The trail <br />that has been constructed within the right-of-way of Rolling Hills Road is not likely to be <br />affected by the proposed addition. <br /> <br />20.The proposed plans and variance request for the addition to the single family dwelling <br />does not appear to be based on economic considerations alone. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The findings of fact for this variance request support a recommendation for approval. However, <br />if the City Council chooses to make a recommendation for denial, the Findings of Fact would <br />need to be amended to reflect the reasons for the denial. <br /> <br />The Planning Commission reviewed Planning Case 14-014 and recommends approval (5-1) of <br />the variance request for the property located at 1850 Venus Avenue, based on the findings of fact <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for May 27, 2014 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-014 - Variance - 1850 Venus Avenue\Memos_Reports_14-014 <br /> <br />68 <br />Page of <br /> <br />
