MEMORANDUM DATE: September 3, 2014 PC Agenda Item 3.B TO: Planning Commission FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #14-026 – No Public Hearing Required Applicant: Jerry Carlson (Lee Homes) Property Location: 1830 Noble Road Request: Variance Requested Action The applicant has requested a variance to construct a new single-family detached dwelling at 1830 Noble Road that would encroach approximately 16.5 feet into the required 40 foot secondary front yard setback. Due to the configuration of the lot, the secondary front yard faces a limited-access alley and a 40 foot setback is required. Background The applicant in this case is Lee Homes, a custom builder contracted by the property owners to design and construct a new single-family dwelling at 1830 Noble Road. This project would also include the demolition of the existing structures on the property and the re-grading of the site. In the narrative submitted by the applicant, it has been noted that the existing structures are in poor condition and tests have shown that there is asbestos present throughout the home. The property is zoned R-2 Single and Two Family Residential and is generally located north of Lake Lane, south of Grant Road, east of New Brighton Road, and west of Lake Johanna Boulevard. The subject property is considered by the Zoning Code to be a corner lot because it is situated at the intersection of Noble Road on the north and a limited-access alley off of Lake Johanna Boulevard on the east. The property is unique in that the property boundary lines extend into the abutting street and alley. On the north side the property line extends approximately 16 feet into Noble Road, and on the east side the property line extends approximately 9 feet into the abutting City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for September 3, 2014 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-026 - Variance - 1830 Noble Road\Memos_14-026 Page 1 of 9
