Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, June 26, 1989 Page 5 CASE #89-07 (Cont'd) Clerk Administrator Berger advised staff has been reviewing this matter and will prepare a definition for inclusion of satellite antennae in the zoning ordinance. . Mahowald suggested the screening provision be incorporated in the staff review. There was discussion relative to enforcing retroactive screening of the previously approved rooftop antennae; Attorney Filla advised Council could not legally require screening of previously approved antennae; only encourage property owners to provide screening. CASE #89-08; VAR. ATM, ROSEVILLE BANK 4016 LEXINGTON AVE. Council was referred to the planner's report and Planning Commission minutes dated 6-7-89, relative to the request for a variance to locate an accessory structure in the front yard, Rosevi1le Bank, 4016 Lexington Avenue. Planner Bergly advised the bank had previously requested an automatic teller machine in the front yard which also required a front yard setback variance; the variance was approved by Council, however, the applicant did not install the ATM. He explained the current request meets setback requirements. Berg1y noted Planning Commission reviewed the site for other possible locations of the ATM. After discussion of other locations, Commission recommended approval of the ATM in the location requested. The Planner explained the structure will be brick (previously approved structure was metal) and will have some landscaping to enhance the appearance of the structure. Bergly recommended the applicant work with staff relative to lighting of the signage and landscaping. . Councilmember Growe spoke in favor of the requested variance. She reviewed the Planning Commission discussion relative to customer safety with the ATM located in the front rather than rear of the bank building. Dean Hanson, representing the Roseville Bank, stated the bank reviewed locating the structure in the rear of the site; the reasons for requesting the front yard location were due to customer safety and future expansion of the bank. Councilmember Malone stated he had difficulty identifying a hardship in relation to this request; it appears there are alternatives available for location of the ATM. Councilmember Hansen agreed. Planner Bergly noted the previously granted variance included a front yard setback request; this application is an improvement over the previous application and that fact was taken into consideration when preparing the recommendation. He explained the ordinances were initially setup to restrict structures such as garages in residential areas being placed ahead of the dwelling. Mahowald moved, seconded by Growe, that Council approve Case #89-08, Variance to allow an accessory structure in the front yard of a principal building (Automatic Teller Machine), 4016 Lexington Avenue North, Roseville Bank, based on the rationale outlined in the Planning Commission minutes of 6-7-89. Motion carried. (Mahowald, Growe, Sather voting in favor; Malone and Hansen opposed) (3-2) . PUBLIC HEARING RES. #89-41; EST. DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT/TIF Mayor Sather opened the Public Hearing at 8:31 p.m. and Clerk Administrator Berger verified that the Notice of Hearing was published in the New Brighton Bulletin on May 31 and June 7, 1989 and mailed to appropriate jurisdictions or persons on May 31, 1989.
