I I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 15.1996 3 tt James Danielson, applicant, stated he has nothing to add to the presentation of Staff and believes the modification cOl11plies with the desires of the Council. He added the relocation is an I improvement and additional landscaping will be provided to improve the view from the street. Mayor Probst concurred the proposed relocation is a better fit with the Lynch property and more I attractive than the area where the building could be located without the need for a variance. He indicated his intention to support variance approval. I MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a 1110tion to approve Planning Case #96-13, James Danielson, 3238 N. Hamline Avenue, Variance, as revised and based on the I Iallowing rationale: I) this garage could be constructed in the front yard without the need for a variance; however, it would result in a greater constraint to the visual aspect of neighbors; 2) the subject property is located on a lakefront and of I unusual shape with limited back yard area; 3) the existence of an unusually large right-of-way for Hamline Avenue; 4) consideration of the requested variance will result in an overall reduction of the existing non-conforming situation; and 5) the I restriction that no further building will be constructed on the site within this building envelope. Ie Councilmel11ber Aplikowski agreed with comments made but questioned the restriction on furthcr building. It was explained that the restriction is to prohibit further construction within the building envelope. Councilmel11ber Aplikowski stated she is glad this situation could be worked I out between staff and the applicant for the betterment of both parties. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). I Mr. Danielson stated he will comply with the restriction prohibiting further construction within I the building envelope.
