<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for April 4, 2018 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2018\PC 18-001 - 3246 New Brighton Road - Preliminary & Final Plat, Comprehensive Plan Amendment, <br />Variance, CUP\Memos_Reports_18-001 <br />Page 8 of 17 <br />C. Structure Coverage and Landscaped Lot Area <br /> <br />The maximum structure coverage permitted in the R-2 District is 25 percent and the minimum <br />landscape lot area is 65 percent. The approximate structure coverage and landscape lot area was <br />calculated based on the proposed building dimensions and the approximate dimensions of the <br />driveways. The structure coverage and landscape lot area requirements would be verified at the <br />time Building Permit applications are submitted. Based on the submitted plans, all four lots <br />would meet the lot coverage requirements. <br /> <br />The definition for landscape lot area in the Zoning Code includes the surface area of any <br />wetlands or ponding areas, and the portion of the existing pond on Lots 2, 3, and 4 is counted <br />towards the minimum landscape lot area requirement. The Preliminary Plat includes the square <br />footage of each lot above this wetland area. Staff completed a review of the structure coverage <br />and landscape lot area based on the square footage of each lot above the wetland and all four <br />would still meet the minimum lot coverage requirements. <br /> <br />D. Building Height and Density <br /> <br />The maximum building height in the R-2 District is 35 feet. Building height would be verified at <br />the time Building Permit applications are submitted. <br /> <br />The maximum residential density permitted in the R-2 District is 5 units per net acre. There are <br />approximately 1.49 net acres of land that could be built on after subtracting the wetland area. The <br />proposed subdivision would have a net density of 2.68 units per acre. <br />Lot <br />Lot Area <br />(Square Feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(Square Feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(Percentage) <br />Landscape <br />Lot Area <br />(Square Feet) <br />Landscape <br />Lot Area <br />(Percentage) <br />R-2 District <br />Requirements 11,000 -- 25% (max) -- 65% (min) <br />1 21,827 1,953 8.95% 18,740 85.86% <br />2 28,140 2,430 8.64% 24,665 87.65% <br />3 31,793 2,430 7.64% 28,318 89.10% <br />4 43,357 1,953 4.50% 40,270 92.88% <br />Lot <br />Lot Area Above <br />Wetland <br />(Square Feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(Square Feet) <br />Structure <br />Coverage <br />(Percentage) <br />Landscape <br />Lot Area <br />(Square Feet) <br />Landscape <br />Lot Area <br />(Percentage) <br />R-2 District <br />Requirements 11,000 -- 25% (max) -- 65% (min) <br />1 21,827 1,953 8.95% 18,740 85.86% <br />2 19,879 2,430 12.22% 16,404 82.52% <br />3 11,783 2,430 20.62% 8,308 70.51% <br />4 11,410 1,953 17.12% 8,323 72.94%
