The property is Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and is generally positioned north of <br />County Road E2 West, south of Venus Avenue, east of Interstate 35W and west of Snelling <br />Avenue North. The subject property is considered by the Zoning Code to be a corner lot, as it is <br />situated at the corner of Venus Avenue and Rolling Hills Road. However, Rolling Hills Road is <br />an unimproved City right-of-way that terminates approximately 200 feet south of Venus Avenue <br />and is used solely for trail purposes. This area was platted in 1956 as Shorewood Hills Addition <br />No. 6 and Rolling Hills Road was stubbed in for a future connection to County Road E2 West. <br />The connection to County Road E2 West was never completed and is unlikely to be developed as <br />the land to the south is within Tony Schmidt Regional Park and the need for an additional access <br />to this subdivision is unwarranted at this time. <br />City Planner Streff <br />reported that the applicants are proposing to construct a twenty-four (24) foot <br />by thirty-eight (38) foot or 912 square foot attached garage to the east side of the single family <br />dwelling. The garage would be constructed between the existing dwellingand the east property <br />
