The applicant is requesting approval of a front yard setback variance for an existing garage (20 feet proposed, when 40 feet is required) and for the vacation of excess street right-of-way on a single family lot zoned R-l (Exhibit D). Background. The City reconstructed Oak Avenue in 1996. In preparing the plans and . specifications for this construction the City found out that the existing Oak Avenue was built outside of the existing right-of-way for Oak Avenue. The City Council determined that the general alignment of the existing Oak Avenue should be maintained. Therefore, additional right-of-way from this property owner was required. Additionally as part of this right-of- way realignment excess right-of-way became available. To which, the City is now proposing to vacate said excess right-of-way. Lastly, with the new right-of-way the existing garage for the Shepley's house became non-conforming. Therefore, the City agreed as part of the right-of-way acquisition to consider the granting of a variance for the applicant's garage. Deadline for Agency Actions The City of Arden Hills received the complete application for this request on February 2, 1998. Pursuant to Milll1esota State Statute the City must act on this request by Friday, April 3, 1998 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period.
