<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 31, 2000 <br /> <br />D~(AFT <br /> <br />22 <br /> <br />Staff found that an addition off the rear of the existing structure appeared to be the only suitable a <br />location for an addition to the existing home. Other houses in the area are setback at least 30 ., <br />feet, except for a corner lot across Stowe Avenue which has a 20 foot setback. The only other <br />option would be to build up, however, the City has a height restriction of35 feet. <br /> <br />The existing structure is entirely in the front yard setback area. The structure can not be <br />expanded on without a variance unless it is added upward. The lot is larger than most lots in the <br />area. <br /> <br />The applicant could minimize the request by eliminating a portion of the porch addition and the <br />entry portion of the addition. This would require a seven foot variance (33 feet, where 40 feet is <br />required.) This design would not fit as well with the existing home. The current house is <br />slightly smaller than most of the homes in the neighborhood, however, the addition would double <br />the existing size. <br /> <br />The plans show a separate living area (mother-in-law apartment). This property is currently <br />zoned R-2, which allows single and two family dwelling units. Two family dwelling units are <br />allowed under a special use permit with a minimum ofa 16,000 square foot lot. The applicant's <br />lot is 22,500 square feet. Staff was not aware of this early enough to include a Special Use <br />Permit as part of this application. The current ordinance does not prohibit the construction of <br />this type of structure, however, it does prohibit the rental of this area without a special use <br />permit. At the time of a building permit for this type of structure a condition would be placed on <br />the permit that the structure not be rented without obtaining a special use permit. Staff a <br />recommends a condition be added to this variance request that the apartment not be rented ., <br />without obtaining a special use permit. <br /> <br />Ms. Randall stated that staff received a letter in support of the project. <br /> <br />Ms. Randall advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case <br />#00-03, front yard setback variance (18 feet proposed, when 40 feet is required) for an addition <br />and porch based on the "Findings - Front Yard Setback Variance (addition)" section of the staff <br />report dated January 5, 2000. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst confirmed that all of the encroachment, with the exception of the addition, is the <br />existing building and the only way to eliminate this would be to remove the entire home and <br />rebuild elsewhere on the lot. Ms. Randall stated that this was correct. She added that there <br />would be now way to add onto this property without infringing on the front yard setback. <br /> <br />Mr. James Moberg, 3355 Lake Johanna Boulevard, stated that the Planning Commission had <br />expressed concern regarding the proposed widows walk on the roof of the building. He indicated <br />that he reviewed the Code regarding this addition and the widows walk will meet all <br />requirements. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a <br />motion to approve Planning Case #00-03, front yard setback variance (18 feet <br />proposed, when 40 feet is required) for an addition and porch based on the <br />"Findings - Front Yard Setback Variance (addition)" section of the staff report <br /> <br />e <br />
