ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – November 9, 2022 2 <br /> <br />Commission reviewed the interest in selling the parcel for consistency with the City’s <br />Comprehensive Plan. The City has verified that the parcel is not dedicated for a public purpose <br />that would prohibit the sale (i.e. park land or public improvements) or as a site for future <br />development to meet the needs of city infrastructure or operational activities, and it was found <br />that the sale of the Subject Property would be in compliance with the City’s Comprehensive <br />Plan. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jagoe reported during the discussions, the City was <br />evaluating the parcel size based off of Ramsey County Property Records and GIS mapping as <br />there was no certificate of survey on record for the Subject Property. Ramsey County Property <br />Records have the deeded acreage as 0.31 acres (approx. 13,500 square feet). The Subject <br />Property came from the State through the County as part of the turn back of the Old Snelling <br />Avenue (now referred to as Snelling Avenue North) corridor ROW to the City. Based on the best <br />information available from Ramsey County, city staff initially identified that the total lot area of <br />the parcel would be nonconforming since the minimum lot area requirement in the R-1 District is <br />14,000 square feet. A preliminary analysis of lot dimensions was completed as part of the <br />Planning Commission review utilized the County’s GIS mapping in order to garner th e <br />approximate lot width and lot depth. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jagoe explained over the next year, city staff worked <br />through the process to facilitate the sale of the Subject Property. On August 8, 2022, the City <br />Council approved the purchase agreement for the Subject Property from Ahmed Ali and Nawal <br />Hirsi. The purchase agreement included an acknowledgement of the Applicant’s responsibility <br />for all costs associated with due diligence which includes the variance review due to the <br />nonconforming lot size. As part of the due diligence via a survey, it was determined that the lot <br />measured approximately 14,472 square feet, and would not require a variance for lot area but <br />would require a variance for lot depth. <br /> <br />Community Development Director Jagoe reviewed the site data, the Plan Evaluation and <br />provided the Findings of Fact for review: <br /> <br />General Findings: <br />1. City Staff received a land use application for a variance request to the required R-1 <br />Zoning District lot depth, front yard setback, and driveway access at the Subject Property, <br />3588 Ridgewood Road. <br />2. The Subject Property is a nonconforming lot of record deeded to the City through the <br />State and County from the Old Snelling Avenue corridor right-of-way (now referred to as <br />Snelling Avenue North). <br />3. The Subject Property is a nonconforming lot with a mean lot depth of 97.4 feet and does <br />not comply with the minimum R-1 district standards for lot depth of 130 feet. <br />4. The Subject Property is currently undeveloped. <br />5. The Planning Commission has determined that a potential sale of the City owned property <br />at 3588 Ridgewood Road would be in compliance with the City’s Comprehensive Plan. <br />6. The proposed single-family dwelling would not require a side yard setback variance. <br />7. The proposed single-family dwelling on the Subject Property would conform to all other <br />requirements and standards of the R-1 Zoning District. <br /> <br />Variance Findings:
