City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for October 9, 2019 P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-011 - 1314 Cannon Ave - Var\Memos Reports Page 1 of 6 MEMORANDUM DATE:October 9, 2019 PC Agenda Item 3C TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners FROM: Joe Hartmann, Associate Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #19-011 – No Public Hearing Required Applicant: Chris Grose, Northrup Builders Property Location: 1314 Cannon Avenue Request: Variance Requested Action Northrup Builders (the “Applicants”) have requested a variance in order to construct a four-season porch addition to the existing legal nonconforming single family detached property at 1314 Cannon Avenue (the “Subject Property”). Background City Staff received a building permit application for a request to build a four-season porch and deck addition at the Subject Property. Upon review by Planning Staff it was determined that the request would require a variance due to existing non-conforming side yard setbacks. The existing principal structure was built in 1963 and predates the current R-1 zoning code requirements. This is the first proposed addition and this is the first request for a variance at the Subject Property. 1.Overview of Request The applicants have requested a variance to construct a four-season poach on an existing nonconforming property. The existing principal structure on the subject property is setback nine (9) feet from the eastern property line and has combined total setback of 19 feet. However, the R-1 zoning district requires a minimum side yard setback of 10 feet and a minimum total combined of 25 feet for residential properties. The proposed addition will be constructed to maintain the same setbacks as the existing house or nine (9) feet from the eastern property line. The proposed addition will meet all other setback and lot coverage requirements.
