City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for October 9, 2019 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-013 1932 County Road E2 Var\Memos Reports <br />Page 2 of 7 <br />The area that is 40 feet from the curb facing New Brighton Avenue on the Subject Property is <br />underneath a power line. A variance would allow the residents to build the garage closer to the <br />curb, which would avoid relocating the power line and would preserve an existing large tree onsite. <br />Staff reviewed the R-2 district and found numerous other accessory structures located within the <br />40-foot setback, including the adjacent property to the south of the subject property. <br />Plan Evaluation <br />Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review <br />1.District Provisions (R-2 Single Family Residential District) – Section 1320 <br />A.Lot Size and Dimensions <br />The parcel is approximately 0.40 acres or 17,358 square feet in area. In an R-2 residential district, <br />the minimum lot size is 11,000 square feet. The lot is approximately 155 feet by 115 feet and meets <br />the minimum width and length requirements for a property within the R-2 District. <br />B.Structure Setbacks - Flexibility Requested <br />The principal structure and attached garage is set back approximately 40 feet from County Road <br />E W and New Brighton Avenue. It meets the minimum setback for the remaining side at 10 feet <br />from the property line to the east and the 30 foot rear yard setback. If the detached garage were <br />approved with a variance, all other applicable setbacks on the Subject Property would be met.
