ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 14, 1998 3 . Ms. Randall reviewed the staffreport, noting the proposed three season porch is 13 feet 6 inches by 14 feet 6 inches (196 square feet). The applicant had evaluated other locations for the porch addition, however, this is the only location they feel will work with the existing home. The house currently has a side yard-street setback of27 feet, where 40 feet is required. The house was built when the zoning ordinance allowed a 20 foot setback. The Plaillling Commission recommended approval of Planning Case #98-23 - Variance for a Comer Side Yard Setback for the three season porch. They did not recommend approval of the house variance. They also included two additional conditions: the variance is to include only the three season porch, and the variance would expire if the porch loses its legal nonconforming status. Mayor Probst asked if the face of the porch would line up with the existing side of the house. Ms. Randall stated it would. Councilmember Malone asked for verification on the Commission's amendment whether the variance would expire if the house lost its legal nonconfomling status.
