<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for August 3, 2016 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2016\PC 16-017 - 1536 Edgewater Avenue - Variance\Memos_Reports_16-017 <br /> <br />Page 5 of 7 <br />variance would likely not be needed for the addition. The property was in conformance with the <br />applicable regulations at the time it was developed in 1953, and the lot became nonconforming <br />due to changes made to the Zoning Code. <br /> <br />Similar to other properties on Edgewater Avenue, the existing dwelling is situated at an angle on <br />the lot. As a result, the 1-foot – 7-inch encroachment into the east side yard setback only occurs <br />at the southeast corner of the structure at its closest point from the property. At the northeast <br />corner of the structure the setback would be 11 feet – 11 inches, conforming to the 10-foot <br />minimum requirement. This is also the case along the western property line – the existing <br />dwelling is 12 feet – 2 inches from the side property line at the northwest corner and 19 feet – 5 <br />inches at the southwest corner. <br /> <br />Staff researched other variances that have been approved for properties on Edgewater Avenue. In <br />Planning Case 83-028 (1516 Edgewater Avenue) and Planning Case 96-015 (1550 Edgewater <br />Avenue), the City approved similar side yard setback variances to allow the property owners to <br />construct a second garage stall. The factors for why the City granted a variance in both cases <br />were similar to why staff is supportive of this request, including the width of the lot, setbacks of <br />adjacent houses, lack of available alternatives, and the inadequacy of a one-stall garage. <br /> <br /> <br />Findings of Fact <br /> <br />Staff offers the following findings of fact for review: <br /> <br />General Findings: <br />1. The property at 1536 Edgewater Avenue is located in the R-1 Single Family Residential <br />Zoning District. <br />2. The lot is nonconforming due to lot size and width. <br />3. The existing conditions on the property are in conformance with the setback and structure <br />and lot coverage requirements for properties in the R-1 District. <br />4. The proposed addition would encroach 1 foot – 7 inches into the east side yard setback, <br />creating a setback of 8 feet – 5 inches from the property line. The minimum side yard <br />setback in the R-1 District is 10 feet. <br />5. The proposed addition would result in a combined side yard setback of 20 feet – 7 inches. <br />The existing dwelling is setback 12 feet – 2 inches from the west side property line and <br />the proposed addition would be setback 8 feet – 5 inches from the east side property line. <br />The minimum combined side yard setback in the R-1 District is 25 feet. <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 />
