ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – SEPTEMBER 19, 2022 2 requires 85 feet. The Applicant has indicated the two parcels would comply with all other applicable city code requirements. Upon completing the preliminary analysis, staff identified that Parcel A would also require a variance to allow a lot depth of 111 feet rather than 120 feet as required by city code. The Applicant has stated he plans to construct a single-family dwelling on each lot. The Applicant is seeking City Council feedback on the variance portion of the minor subdivision in advance of his full application which would involve civil plans, house floor plans, and renderings. Mr. Mezzenga explained that he is asking to have access for a second lot and explained the locations of the roadways, driveway locations and locations of the future homes. Community Development Director Jagoe said that both lots will have access off of Edgewater, with lot B having the 40’ width at the roadway to allow for the driveway. Mayor Grant asked about the new houses blocking other homes’ views of the lake. Mr. Mezzenga said the homes will be set back per the DNR requirements and will be in line with the neighbors’ homes. He further explained where the driveways would be located. Community Development Director Jagoe explained the setbacks based on the orientation of the lots and why the additional variance may be necessary. Mr. Mezzenga continued to explain the layout of the proposed lots and assured the Council he wouldn’t be asking for a variance on building height. He said he had tried to contact the owner of the neighboring lot but received no response. After further discussion, Council members agreed that the concept plan would be acceptable. Mayor Grant said Mr. Mezzenga should continue to work with staff to bring plans forward. Community Development Director Jagoe stated she would send more information to Mr. Mezzenga and the next application deadline was October 1, to be reviewed in the November meeting cycle.
