<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for June 4, 2014 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-017 - Variance 3441 Lake Johanna Boulevard\Memo_Reports_14-017 <br /> <br />Page 4 of 11 <br /> <br />structure encroaches three (3) feet eleven (11) inches into the ten (10) foot setback along <br />the southern property line, leaving a setback of six (6) feet one (1) inch between the <br />structure and the south property line. The Zoning Code permits detached accessory <br />structures within this district; however, they are not permitted within the designated <br />setbacks for a through-lot. <br /> <br />As indicated by the applicant, the proposed accessory structure would encroach twenty- <br />nine (29) feet four (4) inches into the thirty (30) foot setback along Fairview Avenue and <br />an additional two (2) feet into the ten (10) foot setback along the southern property line. <br />This would leave a setback of eight (8) inches from the west property line and a setback <br />of four (4) feet three (3) inches from the south property line. The proposed structure <br />would increase the footprint of the existing detached garage from twenty-two (22) feet by <br />twenty-two (22) feet to twenty-four (24) feet by twenty-six (26) feet. This would be an <br />increase of 140 square feet. As proposed the roofline of accessory structure would <br />change from an east/west orientation to a north/south orientation in order for the garage <br />to be accessible from the existing driveway. <br /> <br />C. Lot Coverage – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The existing and proposed lot coverage does not exceed the lot coverage limitations of <br />the R-2 Zoning District. The maximum lot coverage for impervious surfaces is 35% and <br />the minimum landscape coverage is 65%. <br /> <br />Proposed Lot Coverage = 33.66% <br />Proposed Landscape Coverage = 66.34% <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />D. Structure Height – Meets Requirements <br /> <br />The Zoning Code states that accessory structures in the R-2 District shall not exceed <br />fifteen (15) feet or the height of the principal structure to which it is accessory, whichever <br /> <br />Existing Proposed <br />Square Feet % Square Feet % <br />House/Garage 2,314 15.18% 2,314 15.18% <br />Accessory Structure 486 3.19% 624 4.09% <br />Decks/Patios -- -- -- -- <br />Driveway/Walkways 1,725 11.32% 2,193 14.39% <br /> <br />Structural Coverage 4,525 29.69% 5,131 33.66% <br /> <br />Landscaping Coverage 70.31% 66.34% <br />Lot Size 15,241
