e e e , The proposed house at 1,440 square feet is a reasonable size home for the neighborhood in which it is located and modest for the community that it is located in. However, the basic question in this request is not whether the home is reasonably sized, but given the extent to which the home is being modified, should the entire house be made to meet the current setback requirements. Deadline for Agency Actions. The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on January 13, 1999. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by Sunday, March 14, 1999 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60 day review period. The additional review period would extend to Thursday, may 13, 1999. The City may, with the petitioners consent, extend the review period beyond the Thursday, May 13, 1999, date. Lastly, if the City denies the petitioners request, "... it must state in writing the reasons for the denial at the time that it denies the request." Recommendation. The Planning Commission recornmends denial of Planning Case #98-37, Side Yard Setback Variance (5 feet 1 inches proposed, when 10 feet is required) and a Front Yard Setback Variance (30 feet proposed, when 40 feet is required) for a house addition, based on the "Findings - Front and Side Yard Setback Variance" section of the Staff report dated February 3, 1999. Updates. The applicant has considered the Planning Commission comments pertaining to demolishing the existing home and building behind the 40 foot setback thus, eliminating the need for the front yard setback. The applicant staked the approximate location of a home behind the 40 foot setback. The applicant has submitted a letter expressing their concerns with removing the existing home and building behind the 40 foot setback. (Attachment B)
