MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />DATE: May 6, 2015 PC Agenda Item 3.C <br /> <br />TO: Planning Commission <br /> <br />FROM: Matthew Bachler, Associate Planner <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Planning Case #15-010 – Public Hearing Required <br /> Applicant: LoAnn Crepeau and Thomas Ostby <br /> Property Address: 3517 Siems Court <br /> Request: Minor Subdivision <br /> <br /> <br />Requested Action <br /> <br />The applicant has requested a Minor Subdivision at 3517 Siems Court to sell a small portion of <br />land to the adjacent property owner at 3535 Siems Court. No new construction or change in use <br />is contemplated as part of the Minor Subdivision request. <br /> <br /> <br />Background <br /> <br />1. Overview of Request <br /> <br />The owners of the property at 3517 Siems Court have applied for a Minor Subdision to sell a <br />5,540 square foot portion of land to the adjacent property owner at 3535 Siems Court. The new <br />property line would add approximately 40 feet of shoreline to the property at 3535 Siems Court. <br />No new construction or change in use is contemplated as part of the Minor Subdivision request. <br /> <br />The land to be transferred includes an existing two-story boathouse with a footprint of 450 <br />square feet. This structure is considered to be a legal nonconforming building because of an <br />encroachment in the required setbacks from the Lake Johanna shoreline and the side property <br />line. With the proposed lot line adjustment, the boathouse would still be within the required <br />setback from the shoreline, but the ten-foot side yard setback for accessory structures would be <br />met. The adjacent property owners at 3535 Siems Court plan to make improvements to the <br />boathouse, but no expansion of the building would be undertaken. <br /> <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for May 6, 2015 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2015\PC 15-010 - Minor Subdivision - 3517 Siems Court\Memos_Reports_15-010 <br /> <br />Page 1 of 6
