ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION—FEBRUARY 16, 2021 3 <br /> Councilmember Holmes recommended the sheds be not wider than 12 feet when viewed from <br /> the water. She stated the smaller the better for the accessory structures and noted she would <br /> support the consensus of the Council. <br /> Mayor Grant reviewed the comments of the Council and noted he could support the accessory <br /> structures within the OHWL being up to 100 square feet. <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the next question staff had was <br /> did the Council support increasing the roof height from eight feet to ten feet. <br /> Councilmember Scott indicated he could support ten feet. <br /> Councilmember Holden reported she would like the structure height to be eight feet. <br /> Councilmember McClung commented he could support a structure height of eight or nine feet. <br /> Councilmember Holmes stated she would support an accessory structure height of eight feet. <br /> Mayor Grant agreed with this recommendation. <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla questioned if screening requirements <br /> should be added to City Code for structures within the OHWL. <br /> Councilmember Scott stated supported the code requiring screening. <br /> Councilmember McClung agreed. <br /> Councilmember Holmes commented on the requirements from the city of Roseville. She <br /> recommended the screening requirements for the City be further clarified. <br /> Councilmember Holden supported accessory structures having to match the principal structure. <br /> In addition, she wanted to see organic screening required. <br /> Mayor Grant supported screening being required from the lake side view. <br /> Councilmember Holden recommended doors on the accessory structure not face the lake as this <br /> would be difficult to landscape around. <br /> Mayor Grant commented this could be problematic, but screening could still be put in place if <br /> setback around the structure. <br /> Councilmember Holden noted Roseville requires these structures to have 50% of the lakeside <br /> view screened with opaque screening. <br /> Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained opaque screening would <br /> include arborvitae, ornamental grasses, dogwood trees, lilacs, or other conifers. He noted a trellis <br /> with a climbing vine could also be used. <br />
