<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 13,2000 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />With regard to circumstances unique to the property, staff found the property in question meets <br />all the minimum dimensional and area standards except the 120 foot depth requirement. The <br />current house and garage meet the required setbacks. The garage addition can be expanded east <br />three more feet without requiring a variance allowing for a 19 by 24 foot (456 square foot) <br />garage addition. There is room for an addition to the west; however, the garage addition would <br />not work well with the existing interior configuration. The applicant currently has a 22 by 24 <br />foot (528 square foot) two-car garage. The proposed addition is 16 by 32 feet (512 square feet) <br />for a total of 1,040 square feet of garage space. The City Ordinance does not restrict the size of <br />attached garage space. It does, however restrict detached garages to 728 square feet. <br /> <br />Ms. Randall advised that the Planning Commission recommends denial of Planning Case #00-12, <br />rear yard variance for a garage addition based on the "Findings - Rear Yard Setback Variance" <br />section of the staffreport dated March 1, 2000. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked whether a variance is required for the alternative site plan. Ms. Randall <br />confirmed a variance is not required. Mayor Probst noted, for the benefit of the applicant, that <br />the request could not be resubmitted for 6 months if the Council denies it. Ms. Randall added <br />that the applicant could only reapply if the configuration was modified. <br /> <br />Mr. Lawrence Erickson, 1860 Indian Place, stated that he prefers his proposal, which is more <br />attractive and a better investment. He added the unusually short depth of his property requires <br />him to obtain the variance. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked how much ofthe current garage could be used for a workshop. <br />Mr. Erickson stated that he works on hobby cars, and requires at least a 22 foot deep garage for <br />the workshop to be attached. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked whether the cul-de-sac on which the home is situated is <br />elevated above the homes to its south. Mr. Erickson stated the southerly lots are above the cul- <br />de-sac, adding those homes are situated to the front of their lots. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked why the applicant is opposed to the alternative plan in which the workshop <br />would be located to the side. He added, in his opinion, this plan would be more consistent with <br />the design of the existing home with regard to roofing and lines. Mr. Erickson stated he didn't <br />believe he would like the appearance. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated that a hardship must be identified for the variance to be granted. He noted <br />that the applicant has some options, and in his opinion it is difficult to determine a hardship. <br /> <br />Paul Treis, the applicant's neighbor, expressed concern that the proposed site plan depictions <br />contain inaccuracies with regard to his property and home. He added the proposed addition <br />would encroach upon his property line and affect the property values of all the homes on the cul- <br />de-sac from an appearance standpoint. He expressed concern that this variance would create a <br />precedence, and requested the Council take more time to study the issue. <br />
