ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – May 4, 2011 9 4.B. Planning Case 11-009; Zoning Code Amendment Discussion; City of Arden Hills – Not a Public Hearing (continued) Commissioner Hames asked if the height of the structure was addressed in the City’s Code or Ordinances. City Planner Beekman stated the maximum height for accessory structures in the City is 15-feet or as tall as the principle structure and this encourages peaked roofs on these structures. She explained the proposed language addresses the location of the garage only. The structure would need to meet all other conditions and requirements in the City’s Code. She stated she would be sure the changes were clear on the definition of a detached garage. REPORTS A.
