ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – March 4, 2015 5 <br /> <br />County Road E2 is accomplished by incorporating shared access from the County roadway for <br />six of the proposed lots. The plans as submitted indicate that every other property would share an <br />access with the neighboring property, except the easternmost lot would have its own individual <br />access from County Road E2. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff stated that in addition to the Preliminary & Final Plat for the subdivision, a <br />rezoning and Comprehensive Plan amendment are being requested. Both properties would be <br />rezoned to the R-2 Single and Two Family Residential District. In order to rezone the properties, <br />the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan needs to be amended to reflect the new Very Low Density <br />Residential land use for the site. Planning Case 15-004 includes three (3) requests: <br /> <br />1. Preliminary & Final Plat. <br />2. Rezoning to amend the zoning designation for 1941 County Road E2 and 1901 County <br />Road E2 to R-2 Single and Two Family Residential District. <br />3. Comprehensive Plan Amendment to amend the 2030 Future Land Use Map to classify <br />1941 and 1901 County Road E2 as Very Low Density Residential land use. <br /> <br />Future Land Use Plan: <br />Site Data <br />Existing: 1941 County Road E2 W – P/I Public Institutional; <br />Proposed: VLDR Very Low Density Residential <br />Existing: 1901 County Road E2 W – NB Neighborhood <br />Business; Proposed: VLDR Very Low Density Residential <br />Existing Land Use: Existing: 1941 County Road E2 W – P/I Public Institutional; <br />Proposed: SFD Single Family Detached <br />Existing: 1901 County Road E2 W – NB Neighborhood <br />Business; Proposed: SFD Single Family Detached <br />Zoning: Existing: 1941 County Road E2 W – R1 Single Family <br />Residential; Proposed: R2 Residential <br />Existing: 1901 County Road E2 W – NB Neighborhood <br />Business; Proposed: R2 Residential <br />Current Lot Sizes: 4.77 Acres (Both Lots Gross Area) <br />Topography: The lots when combined are wooded along the north, east and <br />west sides and slopes approximate 22 feet downward toward <br />the wetland complex in Tony Schmidt Regional Park along the <br />northern part of the property. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation, and the Traffic Study. <br /> <br />City Planner Streff provided the Findings of Fact for review: <br /> <br />General Findings: <br />1.
