216606v1 <br />11. The City Council discussion of the height variance highlighted the Council’s recent <br />review, modification (size limit increased) and/or reaffirmation of the dimensional limits <br />(height limits not increased) for shoreland district accessory structures. <br />12. Council concerns regarding the visual effect on shoreland areas from the lake and from <br />abutting or neighboring properties for the requested height variance were not adequately <br />addressed by building reorientation or landscaping/buffering conditions. <br />13. In light of the recent revisions to increase the size limit but to maintain the height limit, <br />the Councilmembers concluded that a reasonable use of the property exists under the <br />revised dimensional standards, that allowing a height variance would not be consistent <br />with the purpose and intent of the ordinance, or that practical difficulties have been <br />demonstrated warranting a departure or variance from the recently revised standards. <br /> <br />DECISION <br /> <br /> Based upon these Findings of Fact and the Council’s knowledge of the Subject Property, <br />the neighborhood and the community, the application for the proposed Variance, the City <br />Council hereby denies Applicant’s Variance request. <br /> <br /> ADOPTED by the Arden Hills City Council this _____ day of ___________, 2021. <br /> <br /> CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> <br /> <br /> By: _______________________________ <br /> David Grant, Its Mayor <br /> <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br /> <br />____________________________________ <br />Julie Hanson, Its City Clerk <br />
