It should be noted that Planning Staff has measured setbacks from the civil plans provided as part of this application on Plan Sheet 300. The Applicant has included in their narrative an illustration that was created as a conceptual site plan which references different distances. For verification of district dimensional standards, Planning Staff evaluated the civil plan set submitted with this land use application. 2. Design Standards - Section 1325.05 and 1325.055 A. Building Positioning – Flexibility Requested Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E of the Arden Hills City Code states “at least fifty percent (50%) of the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line.” The Applicant is requesting flexibility on this requirement. The front setback in the B-3 District is 50 feet from the property line. The proposed multi-tenant building will be +/- 58 feet from the property line abutting Lexington Avenue and +/- 128 feet from the property line abutting Grey Fox Road. The car wash building does comply with this requirement. As shown in the above table, the Applicant is seeking flexibility for the multi-tenant building on the setback requirements in the B-3 District for building positioning.
