Plan Evaluation 1. B-4 District Zoning District Requirements (Section Chapter 1320.06) A. Lot Size & Dimensions – Nonconforming The minimum lot area for free-standing single or multiple-occupancy buildings in the B-4 District is two acres, or 87,120 square feet. The survey completed for the lot shows a width of 135 feet and a depth of 300.4 feet for a total lot area of 40,554 square feet. B. Structure Setback – Variance Required The existing principal structure on the property is considered to be nonconforming due to an encroachment into the required front yard and north side yard setbacks. The accessory shed on the property is also nonconforming due to setback encroachments. The principal structure is setback 49.6 feet from the front property line and encroaches 0.4 feet into the 50 foot front yard setback. Along the north side yard, the building is setback 4 feet from the property line and encroaches 16 feet into the 20 foot side yard setback. The rear yard and south side yard setback requirements are currently being met. The accessory shed is setback 4 feet from the north side property line and encroaches 6 feet into the required 10 foot setback. As part of the proposed project, this nonconforming structure would be removed. The proposed addition would be constructed on the northwest corner of the principal building and would extend the existing north building wall 25 feet further west. The loading dock addition would be setback 5 feet from the north side property line and encroach 15 feet into the required 20 foot setback. All other setback requirements would be met by the new construction. C. Lot Coverage – Variance Required The principal building measures 11,280 square feet in area and the accessory shed 428 square feet for a combined total of 11,708 square feet, or 28.87 percent of the lot area. The maximum structure coverage permitted in the B-4 District is 25 percent. The 500 square foot addition would result in an additional 72 square feet of structure coverage because the existing 428 square Existing and Proposed Front Yard Setbacks Required (B-4 District) Existing Proposed Addition (PC 14-033) Rear Yard – Principal 20’ 50.4’ 25.6’ North Side Yard – Principal 20’ 4.0’ 5.0’ Rear Yard – Accessory 10’ 20.0’ - North Side Yard – Accessory 10’ 4.0’ - City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for November 5, 2014 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2014\PC 14-033 - Variance - 3755 Dunlap Street\Memos_14-033 Page 3 of 9
