ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 27. 1997 4 . A discussion ensued regarding square footage and the footprint of the proposed work. Councilmember Malonc inquired ifthere were any setback issues. Mr. Ringwald stated no setbacks were provided for in the PUD, and the only setbacks are between properties to assure adequate separation to minimize thc chance of a fire spreading to an adjacent unit. A utility easement and public right-of, way also exists in the area. Councilmember Malone inquired what thc actual variancc was that is being requested. Mr. Ringwald stated the variance would be to allow the cnclosure of the two areas on the site plan. Councilmember Malone inquired if this would actually be an amendment to the site plan. Mr. Ringwald stated that was correct. Mr. Fritsinger stated since the property was originally approved by a PUD, this could also be considered an amendment to the PUD because of the structure change. Councilmember Malone inquired if the proccss to amend a PUD is the same with regard to notice and public hearing. Mr. Fritsinger answered affirmatively. Ms. Sharpe, applicant, stated they have nothing to add to stair s report. She explained this has been a difficult process since there are no plans available from the original development so the property had to be surveyed to determine the location ofthe lot lines. .
