16. The resultant parcel at 4703 U.S. Highway would not be in conformance with the Zoning Code and a variance is needed. 17. A twenty (20) foot wide sanitary sewer easement will be provided across the property at 4703 U.S. Highway 10 where an existing sanitary sewer line is located. 18. No grading plan is required for the proposed subdivision. 19. The proposed subdivision is not subject to the City’s park dedication fee. Variance Findings: 20. The proposal is in harmony with the purpose and intent of the Zoning Ordinance as the Ordinance generally allows flexibility for unique situations when impacts to surrounding properties are minimized. 21. The proposal is consistent with the Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan as it allows the reasonable use of a residential and commercial property. 22. The proposed variance would have no appreciable impact on the site conditions as the parking area in question has already been constructed. 23. The proposed subdivision and lot consolidation is unlikely to have negative impacts to the property or to the neighborhood as a whole. 24. The proposed subdivision and lot consolidation and requested variances do not appear to be based on economic considerations alone.
