<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for May 7, 2014 <br /> <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-014 - Variance - 1850 Venus Avenue\Memos_Reports_14-014 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 10 <br /> <br /> MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: May 7, 2014 PC Agenda Item 3.A <br />TO: Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Ryan Streff, City Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #14-014 – No Public Hearing Required <br /> Applicant: Kyle Irestone & Katherine Ahmann <br /> Property Location: 1850 Venus Avenue <br /> Request: Variance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />The applicant is requesting a variance to construct a twenty (24) foot by thirty-eight (38) foot or <br />912 square foot garage addition to 1850 Venus Avenue that would encroach thirty (30) feet into <br />the secondary front yard setback. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />1. Background <br /> <br />The applicants in this case own the property located at 1850 Venus Avenue. 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 within Tony Schmidt Regional Park and <br />the need for an additional access to this subdivision is unwarranted at this time. <br />
