ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – OCTOBER 25, 2021 7 <br /> <br />With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:09 p.m. <br /> <br />B. Planning Case – 21-021 – Minor Subdivision – 3300 New Brighton Road and <br />1893 Beckman Avenue <br /> <br />Senior Planner Jagoe stated the Minor Subdivision has been requested to allow for the alteration <br />of the property line between the subject properties. Currently, the two properties have joint access <br />to a driveway that crosses the shared property line. The Applicants are requesting the Minor <br />Subdivision to alter the property line to include all of the shared driveway. This would involve <br />adding 796 square feet (excluding ROW) of property to Subject Property A, owned by the <br />Applicants. Staff commented further on the request and recommended the Council hold a public <br />hearing. <br /> <br />Councilmember Holden stated she would be requesting Conditions 1 and 2 be pulled because <br />these have never been required from other applicants. <br /> <br />Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. <br /> <br />With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:13 p.m. <br /> <br />10.
