ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - APRIL 7, 1999 ~OO~~y 14 Commissioner Sand asked Staff to indicate on the map where the 100 foot no build area is. Ms. e Randall pointed out the area on the map. Mr. Ringwald stated that the western 50 feet was dedicated to the City, and the eastem 50 feet is an easement. Chair Erickson closed the public hearing at 9:08 p.m., as no one else wished to address the Planning Commission. Commissioner Nelson asked if the easement for the road is specific or a general location. Mr. Ringwald stated that the actual location had not yet been determined. Documentation indicating the exact location will be provided to Staff prior to the City Council review. Commissioner Sand confirmed that each parcel is currently owned, leased, and financed separately. Mr. Sikora stated that the parcels are all under the CSM Corporation umbrella, although they are owned by different entities. Commissioner Sand asked who the legal owner is according to the legal title of the four parcels. Mr. Sikora stated that the owner is Mr. Gary Holmes, or his heirs. Commissioner Sand noted that, if the existing building bumt down and there was a separate owner of parcel IV who decided not to rebuild the building, this would negate the benefits of building on parcel ill because the building on parcel IV is needed in order to operate the building on parcel ill. Mr. Sikora stated that it is likely that both buildings would remain with one owner. e Commissioner Rye moved, seconded by Commissioner Nelson, to recommend approval of Planning Case #99-06, preliminary plat, including variances for a zero building setback where 20 feet is required, zero parking setback where five feet is required, and to allow the use of a private drive rather than a public street, subject to the following conditions: 1. Provision of the required easements for access, parking, sewer, water and utilities between the four parcels. 2. Rice Creek Watershed District approval. 3. Conformance with the conditions of Planning Case 98-24. Commissioner Nelson stated that he lives west of the property and indicated that the neighborhood appreciates the no-build zone and that the new building is nice looking. The motion carried (6-1, Commissioner Galatowitsch opposed). This Planning Case will be reviewed at the Monday, April 26, 1999 City Council meeting.
