ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION—May 6, 2020 11 <br /> Commissioner Jones discussed the cantilevered decks he had built and stated he supported the <br /> project as proposed. <br /> Chair Gehrig agreed this was a fantastic project but stated he was struggling with the three <br /> factor test. He understood this was a unique parcel but stated City Code did not allow people to <br /> put large decks on the front of their home. For this reason, he would rather see a porch structure <br /> built within the six foot requirement. <br /> Commissioner Jones moved and Commissioner Viiums seconded a motion to recommend <br /> approval of Planning Case 20-004 for a Variance at 1741 Venus Avenue based on the <br /> findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the three (3) conditions in the May <br /> 6, 2020, report to the Planning Commission.
