ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 4, 2014 6 <br />Commissioner Holewa understood why the homeowners wanted to replace the garage; <br />however, he did not support all three variances. He questioned if the Commission should table <br />action to allow the applicant to reconsider his request, or make a motion for denial. <br />Chair Larson stated the expansion of a nonconforming use was a concern for the Commission. <br />He suggested the owner provide comment on why the garage needed to be expanded. <br />Mr. Meyer s believed that the proposed garage would allow him reasonable use of his property. <br />He stated the garage would cost him $50,000 to reconstruct and he wanted the garage to become <br />reasonably useful. He commented that Condition 2 should be revised to reflect that the setbacks <br />would be changed. He reported that he was not interested in building a garage if he had to <br />follow these conditions, as one stall of the garage would be unusable. <br />Mr. Meyers questioned whether the Commission would be supportive of a plan to rebuild the <br />garage so as not to encroach further into the rear and side setbacks, but rather expand the garage <br />towards the house. <br />Chair Larson believed the consensus of the Commission was to not expand a nonconforming <br />use. He asked if Mr. Meyers was willing to reconsider his request. <br />Mr. Meyers was willing to reconsider his garage expansion. <br />Chair Larson questioned how the Commission would like to proceed with this variance request. <br />Commissioner Zimmerman stated the easiest solution would be to rebuild the existing garage <br />on the current footprint. <br />Commissioner Bartel feared that tabling action on this may not allow for this matter to be <br />resolved as the applicants were hoping for a garage larger than 22’ x 22’. <br />Chair Larson stated tabling the matter would allow Mr. Meyers to continue with the request <br />without making Mr. Meyers reapply for a variance. <br />Commissioner Holewa was in favor of the applicant rebuilding on the existing footprint. He <br />indicated he could go either way on this request but noted he would support the matter being <br />tabled. <br />Commissioner Bartel recommended the request be tabled. <br />Commissioner Jones stated this was a unique lot and discussed the number of homes that have <br />been rebuilt along this street. <br />City Planner Streff discussed the setbacks as determined by the City for throug h-lots. Staff <br />believed that a 4 0 foot setback was appropriate for the lakeside and front of the home. It was <br />determined that a 30 foot setback was appropriate for the rear yard along Fairview Avenue. <br />Commissioner Bartel moved and Commissioner Holewa seconded a motion to table action <br />on Planning Case 14-017 for a V ariance at 3441 Lake Johanna Boulevard to allow for <br />further examination of the request by the applicant and staff.
