Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 0.32 acres 3. Proposed Use The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required total side yard setback of his single- family dwelling on the Subject Property from 25 feet to 20.33 feet for a proposed third stall garage addition. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a combination of both side yards on an interior lot of not less than 25 feet. According to the Applicant's narrative submitted as a part of his application, the Subject Property includes unique circumstances due to its nontraditional shape and its location at the end of a cul- de-sac. The Applicant is requesting the proposed garage addition as, according to the Applicant, the current garage cannot accommodate the storage of two cars due to how the steps into the house are arranged. The proposed garage addition would meet applicable building codes and all other regulations in the R-1 District. The Applicant would not be able to construct the proposed garage addition without a variance.
