AGENDA ITEMS <br />A. Planning Case 22-019 — 3588 Ridgewood Road Concept Plan Review <br />Mr. Ali explained that he would like to ask for a variance to have the lot entrance on Old Snelling <br />Avenue instead of Ridgewood Road because of the elevation of the lot, and reduced setbacks. <br />Mr. Norcutt stated the lot is irregular shaped and has a drastic slope. By having the driveway on <br />Old Snelling, they could possibly get a flat area in the back toward Ridgewood Road. He felt <br />access off of Old Snelling would be safer. <br />Discussion ensued regarding the possible location of the home and setbacks. <br />Mr. Norcutt added that the elevation to Ridgewood Road was about 20 feet, the driveway would <br />have to have a curve, and there would have to be a retaining wall. <br />Council agreed that access off of Old Snelling would be acceptable. <br />Mayor Grant said he was OK moving the house to the north to give more space along the side <br />yard to the south. <br />Councilmember Holden noted that after looking at the properties next door she was OK with the <br />side setbacks proposed. <br />
