ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – October 9, 2019 16 <br /> <br /> <br />Commissioner Vijums stated he did not want to see an eyesore of numerous cars parked on the <br />new driveway and he appreciated the fact Condition 5 was being recommended for approval. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained that the requested <br />variance would stay with the property and if new owners were to move into the home, only two <br />vehicles could be parked in the driveway off of New Brighton Road. <br /> <br />Chair Gehrig stated he was struggling with the fact the Planning Commission was proposing to <br />make an exception to City Ordinance for this one property by restricting the number of cars that <br />could be parked on the driveways. He believed that this issue should be addressed by the City <br />Council and not the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Jones seconded a motion to <br />recommend approval of Planning Case 19-013 for a Variance at 1932 County Road E West, <br />based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the four (4) <br />conditions in the October 9, 2019 Report to the Planning Commission, recommending the <br />City Council address the number of vehicles that can be parked on properties that have <br />two driveways. The motion carried unanimously (7-0). <br /> <br />UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS <br /> <br />None. <br /> <br /> <br />REPORTS <br /> <br />A.
