A. Building Positioning — Flexibility Requested <br />Section 1325.05 Subd. 8, E of the Arden Hills City Code states "at least fifty percent (50%) of <br />the largest building on each site shall be constructed at the front setback line." The Applicant is <br />proposing a single one-story car wash tunnel building of approximately 5,400 square feet for a <br />drive -through car wash. The front lot line is at Lexington Avenue and the front setback line for <br />this property would be 50 feet. The Applicant has shown that the building would be constructed <br />with an 80.8-foot setback. At this setback, the Applicant has noted in their narrative that the <br />proposed building would be 50 feet closer to the right of way than the existing restaurant <br />building. <br />The Applicant has requested flexibility due to the narrowness of the site and the layout of the <br />building. The Applicant states that with the building at the setback line, the exit drive from the <br />tunnel would terminate across from an existing driveway median, creating an unsafe and <br />impossible condition for customers to turn left and re-enter the site to utilize the vacuums. To <br />achieve the 50 foot building setback, the exit driveway would also encroach into the twenty (20) <br />foot parking and landscape setback. <br />Visual of building at 50 foot building setback (code requirement) <br />-- ---- -----'--'cisting Center Island <br />I <br />-------------- 7 <br />-- - -- - - - - -- <br />�� /- l <br />I <br />' I <br />i0%0" Suildinc I <br />--— — — — — — — Setback I <br />iii ,rt �4 <br />Page 4 of 16 <br />
