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