DISC; ORDINANCE The Planning Commission was referred to a memorandum AMENDMENT, SIDE from the Zoning Administrator dated 10-4-89, relative to YARD SETBACKS a survey of surrounding communities ordinances on side yard setback for driveways. Deputy Clerk Iago explained a resident requested Commission consider amending the current Arden Hills driveway setback requirements to provide a 5-foot buffer between the driveway surface and the property line. She stated the other communities surveyed require a 5-ft. setback, unless a variance or permission from the adjacent property owner is granted. Mable Gluesing, 1143 Ingerson Road, was present and explained her neighbor has recently added a bituminous surface which is causing severe drainage problems on her property.
