<br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for February 5th, 2020 <br />P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2019\19-020 - 3159 Shoreline Lane - VA <br />Page 6 of 6 <br />Although a variance does not require a public hearing, a public meeting notice was prepared by <br />the City and mailed to properties within 500 feet of the Subject Property. Minnesota statute does <br />not clearly require a public hearing before a variance is granted or denied, however, after <br />consulting with the City Attorney, staff agree that the best practice is to allow public forum on all <br />variance requests. A public forum allows the city to establish a record and elicit facts to help <br />determine if the application meets the practical difficulties factors. <br /> <br /> <br />Public Comments <br /> <br />As of January 29, 2020 Staff has received three (3) inquiries about this proposal from residents <br />over-the-phone and three (3) residents have submitted written comments in regards to this <br />proposal. <br /> <br />Deadline for Agency Actions <br /> <br />The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on December 20, 2019. <br />Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by February 18, 2019 (60 <br />days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60-day review <br />period. With consent of the Applicant, the City may extend the review period beyond the initial <br />120 days. <br /> <br />Attachments <br /> <br />A. Land Use Application <br />B. Location Map <br />C.
