<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Approved: <br /> <br />CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA <br />PLANNING COMMISSION <br />WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 7, 2016 <br />6:30 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL <br /> <br /> <br />PLANNING CASES <br /> <br />A. Planning Case 16-022; Variance; 1500 Arden Place –No Public Hearing Required <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler stated the property at 1500 Arden Place is located in the R-1 District on <br />the northeast side of Lake Johanna. The applicants have proposed taking down the existing <br />dwelling on the property and constructing a new single-family dwelling and accessory storage <br />building. The new house would consist of two levels with a walkout basement facing Lake <br />Johanna. Overall, the structure would have an area of 3,152 square feet. Included in this footprint <br />are a 784 square foot attached garage, 168 square foot screened porch, and 328 square foot deck. <br />The 520 square foot accessory building would be located between the proposed house and the <br />west side property line, and would be used primarily for the storage of lake equipment. Due to a <br />significant grade change on the north side of the property along Arden Place, the existing <br />dwelling has been accessed by a driveway easement across the adjacent property at 1516 Arden <br />Place. The plans include the construction of a new curb cut on Arden Place to provide direct <br />driveway access from the public street, eliminating the need for the driveway easement. <br /> <br />Senior Planner Bachler reported three setback variances are needed for the proposed dwelling. <br />For properties with frontage on Lake Johanna, the Zoning Code requires principal structures to <br />be setback a minimum of 50 feet from the ordinary high water level except where the adjoining <br />lots have structures setback at a distance greater than 50 feet. In these cases, the Zoning Code <br />requires the lakeshore setback be calculated based on the prevailing setbacks in order to protect <br />sight lines. The required lakeshore setback for 1500 Arden Place has been calculated at 80 feet – <br />2 inches. A variance is needed for the dwelling to encroach 15 feet – 9 inches into this required <br />setback. Decks may extend up to six feet into a required structure setback, and in this case a deck <br />could be 74 feet – 2 inches from the shoreline. A portion of the deck on the south side of the <br />house would extend 15 feet – 4 inches into this setback. Additionally, a corner of the attached <br />garage would encroach 2 feet into the 40-foot minimum front yard setback. <br /> <br />Site Data <br />Land Use Plan: Low Density Residential <br />Existing Land Use: Single Family Detached Residential <br />Zoning: R-1: Single Family Residential <br />Current Lot Sizes: 0.67 Acres (29,146 square feet) <br />Topography: Slopes down approximately 29 feet from northeast corner of <br />property to Lake Johanna ordinary high water level
