<br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - MARCH 13,2000 <br /> <br />D.'O fie, F. T <br />"lj,.l"'~ . <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br />Ms. Randall advised that the Planning Commission recommends approval of Planning Case #00- <br />14, corner side yard variance for a porch addition based on the "Findings - Corner Side Yard <br />Setback Variance" section of the staff report dated March I, 2000, and with the following <br />modification: <br /> <br />I. Eliminate the 8 by 14-foot section on the northeast side thus only needing a 12-foot <br />setback where a 40 foot setback is required. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst invited Mr. Chuck Mertensotto to address the Council. Mr. Mertensotto stated the <br />home is on one of the most visible pieces of property in the City and is being remodeled inside <br />and out. He added the 8 x 14 foot section was a result of attempting to break up the north side of <br />the home. <br /> <br />Mr. Mertensotto stated the home has no defined front entrance, which is a hardship. He added <br />there is no place to enjoy the lake views from the home. He noted he had contacted Ramsey <br />County with regard to future road construction on Lake Johanna Boulevard, and he was informed <br />that the County has no plans for that road within the next 5 years. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked whether the applicant had considered any other locations for the 8 x 14 foot <br />section of the deck. Mr. Mertensotto stated he thought a small seating area on the north side of <br />the home would break up the line ofthe house. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst expressed concern with regard to the degree of encroachment. He added that the <br />roadway would require construction at some point in the future. He expressed his support of the <br />Planning Commission's modification, requiring the elimination of the 8 x 14 foot section of <br />deck. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated he is glad to see work being done on the home. He added that the <br />applicant seems to be indicating that his design is not final, and asked what the applicant required <br />if the Council was not inclined to approve the variance. He stated the deck might be designed to <br />extend out in a triangular shape on the southeast corner of the house. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst expressed concern that the applicant's proposal may not be final, adding the <br />Council would not want to proceed with such a significant variance if the applicant is unsure <br />whether the construction would take place. He suggested the Council might hold the variance <br />over, or send the issue back to the Planning Commission. <br /> <br />Mr. Mertensotto stated his neighbors have expressed their approval of breaking up the length of <br />the home along the north side. Mr. Lawrence Erickson, 1860 Indian Place, stated he is a <br />neighbor of the applicant, and he believes that corner of the home could be very aesthetically <br />pleasing and is visible from the beach which will be frequented by non-residents as well as <br />residents. He added it will mean a lot to the City in terms of appearance, and expressed his <br />support of the applicant's request. <br />
