<br />City of Arden Hills <br />City Council Meeting for September 12, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-017 - 1536 Edgewater Avenue - Variance\Memos_Reports_16-017 <br /> <br />Page 3 of 5 <br />6. A variance is required in this case to allow for an encroachment in the minimum side <br />yard setback and for a combined side yard setback of less than 25 feet. <br />7. All other aspects of the proposed addition are in conformance with the Zoning Code <br />requirements for the R-1 District. <br />8. The proposed addition would not encroach on any flood plains, wetlands, or easements. <br />9. The proposed addition is not expected to impact any significant trees on the property. <br /> <br />Variance Findings: <br />10. The variance would be in harmony with the purpose and intent of the City’s Code <br />because the addition would maintain side yard setbacks consistent with other dwellings in <br />the neighborhood. <br />11. The variance would be consistent with the City’s Comprehensive Plan because it meets <br />the City’s housing goal of encouraging property investment that complements and <br />enhances the character of the City’s established neighborhoods. <br />12. The proposed addition to allow for a second garage stall is a reasonable use of the <br />property that would not be allowed under the rules of the Zoning Code without the <br />requested variance. <br />13. The property is unique and presents development challenges because of its narrow width <br />of approximately 80 feet and its topography. The unique characteristics of the property <br />were not created by the property owners. <br />14. The proposed addition would not alter the essential character of the neighborhood <br />because it would result in a structure that is consistent and compatible with other <br />construction in the area. <br />15. The requested variance does not appear to be based on economic considerations alone. <br />The applicant has proposed construction plans that are more costly than an alternative <br />considered that would have resulted in a greater encroachment in the side yard setback. <br /> <br /> <br />Recommendation <br /> <br />The Planning Commission unanimously recommends approval (5-0) of Planning Case 16-017 <br />for a side yard setback Variance at 1536 Edgewater Avenue, based on the findings of fact and <br />submitted plans in the September 12, 2016, Report to the City Council, as amended by the <br />following six conditions: <br /> <br />1. The project shall be completed in accordance with the plans submitted as amended by <br />the conditions of approval. Any significant changes to these plans, as determined by <br />the City Planner, shall require review and approval by the Planning Commission and <br />City Council. <br />2. A Grading and Erosion Control permit shall be required prior to the issuance of a <br />Building Permit. <br />3. If required, a Rice Creek Watershed District permit shall be obtained prior to the <br />issuance of any City permits. <br />4. A Building Permit shall be required prior to commencement of construction.
