ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 22, 2020 15 <br /> <br />Mayor Grant discussed on the foundation sizes that would have to be considered for the future <br />homes in order to meet both Condition 19 and Condition 20. He commented on how the lot sizes <br />could be adjusted to ensure each of the homes were similar in size instead of having two large <br />homes on the end and two smaller homes on the middle lots. He asked how large the homes were <br />on Katy Lane. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the homes on Katy Lane <br />were roughly 4,500 square feet in size and noted these lots were 85 feet wide by 320 feet deep. <br /> <br />AMENDMENT: Mayor Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to <br />amend Condition 20 to read: The buildable area shall be 10,200 square <br />feet instead of the total lot area when calculating the FAR for each lot. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes questioned why the minimum was being reduced to 10,200 square feet <br />versus 11,000 square feet. <br /> <br />Councilmember McClung commented the math was wrong. <br /> <br />Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained he was proposing that each <br />lot be 11,000 square feet instead of the varying lot size. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holmes believed staff’s proposal made sense. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant withdrew his amendment. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would not be withdrawing her second. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant indicated he would leave his motion on the floor in the Council could vote it up or <br />down. <br />A roll call vote was taken. The amendment to Condition 20 to read: <br />The buildable area shall be 10,200 square feet instead of the total lot <br />area when calculating the FAR for each lot carried 4-1 <br />(Councilmember Holmes opposed). <br /> <br />A roll call vote was taken. The motion to adopt Resolution 2020-026 <br />for a Variance and associated Preliminary Plat for Planning Case 20- <br />003 at 3246 New Brighton Road (“Subject Property”) based on the <br />findings of fact and the June 22, 2020 Report to the City Council with <br />the above amendments carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and <br />Councilmember McClung opposed). <br /> <br /> C.
