Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Planning Commission Meeting, 9-6-89 <br /> Page 4 <br /> CASE #89-14 (Cont'd) Jeff Fog, applicant, explained the property terrain is <br /> not flat and limits the area where the garage could be <br /> • placed. He stated the existing garage was constructed in 1948 and is not large; <br /> it is hard to maneuver vehicles out of the driveway from the existing garage. <br /> Member Martin questioned where the two adjacent residences are located and if the <br /> garage would be visible from the adjacent properties. <br /> Fog described the location of the two neighboring homes; the garage would not be <br /> visible from the home to the south and the home to the north may be able to see <br /> the roofline of the garage. He stated he has discussed the variance request with <br /> both neighbors and can provide written approval from both parties if necessary. <br /> Zehm moved, seconded by McGraw, that Commission recommend <br /> to Council approval of Case #89-14, Variance to allow an accessory structure <br /> between the house and the front property line as proposed, 3421 North Snelling <br /> Avenue, Jeff Fog, based on the following: <br /> 1. The narrow lot, the shape and terrain of the lot are identifiable hardships <br /> for placement of the garage structure on the side of the house. <br /> 2. The front of the lot, along the street is heavily landscaped and will prohibit <br /> any negative visual impact. <br /> 3. The garage is setback far enough from the street to prohibit visibility from <br /> vehicular traffic, as opposed to other lakeside lots that may have driveways <br /> abutting the street line. <br /> Motion carried unanimously. (7-0) <br /> • COUNCIL REPORT Clerk Administrator Berger reported on recent Council <br /> actions of interest to the Commission. <br /> ADJOURN Petersen moved, seconded by Carlson, that the meeting be <br /> adjourned at 8:00 p.m. Motion carried unanimously.
