The property is <br />Zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and is generally positioned north of County Road E2 <br />West, south of Venus Avenue, east of Interstate 35W and west of Snelling Avenue North. <br />The subject property is considered by the Zoning Code to be a corner lot, as it is situated at <br />the corner of Venus Avenue and Rolling Hills Road. However, Rolling Hills Road is an <br />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 <br />Addition No. 6 and Rolling Hills Road was stubbed in for a future connection to County <br />Road E2 West. The connection to County Road E2 West was never completed and is <br />unlikely to be developed as the land to the south is withinTony Schmidt Regional Park and <br />the need for an additionalaccessto this subdivisionis unwarranted at this time. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for May 7, 2014 <br />P:\\Planning\\Planning Cases\\2014\\PC 14-014 -Variance -1850 Venus Avenue\\Memos_Reports_14-014 <br />110 <br />Page of <br />
