The Planner <br /> prepared a letter outlining the rationale for the recommendation and submitted <br /> same to Council at their 1/25/88 Regular meeting; Council was agreeable to the <br /> proposal, however, they did not have the four votes necessary to initiate a <br /> rezoning petition.

Bergly advised that the driveway width variance <br /> matter would need to be resolved, and a public hearing would be held at the <br /> March Planning Commission meeting. <br /> DISC. DRIVEWAY The Planner reviewed his report of 2-3-88, regarding <br /> WIDTH REQMENTS permitted driveway widths as required by State, County, <br /> and Arden Hills standards. <br /> Bergly advised he had discussed the survey results with the traffic consultant <br /> at SEH; Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance allows a maximum of 25 ft. driveway <br /> widths, which doesn't meet the minimum County driveway widths for access. <br /> After review of the information, both Planner and Engineer concurred it would <br /> be more appropriate for the City to adopt the same regulations as the County or <br /> State, as they would require those widths for driveways into properties which <br /> abut County or State Highways. Planner and Engineer recommend the following <br /> modifications to the Zoning Ordinance: <br /> DRIVEWAY WIDTHS <br /> Residential Commercial (1) <br /> Minimum Maximum Minimum Maximum <br /> Minor Streets 10' 22' 22' 32' <br /> • City Collector Strees (2) <br /> and County Highways 3) 12' 22' 26' 32' <br /> State Highways(3) 12' 24' 32' 32' (2) <br /> (1) Radius adequate for traffic conditions. <br /> (2) or as recommended by the County or State. <br /> (3) Access permit required from Ramsey County or MnDOT <br />
