<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - FEBRUARY 14, 2000 <br /> <br />DRAFT <br /> <br />20 <br /> <br />, <br />, <br /> <br />Councilmember Rem stated that she was not convinced that the traffic situation has been <br />properly dealt with and she had hoped that a representative of Ramsey County would be <br />attending this meeting. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked if condition number 15 could be amended to require Bethel <br />College to ask Ramsey County to provide the safest possible roadway. She noted the goal was to <br />provide a safe situation for the pedestri.'lll..s_!lIldshe did not feel that an island would sotve all the <br />safety issues. <br /> <br />The motion carried (4-1, Councilmember Rem opposed) <br /> <br />, <br />2. Case #00-08, State of Minnesota, 1900 County Road I West, Special Use <br />Permit <br /> <br />Ms. Randall explained that the applicant was requesting a Special Use Permit to allow for the <br />installation of a temporary materials training laboratory buitding at the Minnesota Department of <br />Transportation facility located at 1900 West County Road 1. <br /> <br />The applicant was requesting the temporary materials training laboratory building for 5 years or <br />less in order to construct a permanent facility on the site. They anticipate the permanent facility <br />to be constructed in approximately two years. The temporary materials training laboratory <br />building is proposed to be 24 by 60 feet (1,440 square feet) located in the rear of the lot (10 feet <br />from the property line). Theyhaye located it in this location because of access to needed e <br />hookups, level ground and the nature of the training. They would anticipate the permanent <br />facility to be located in this general area. <br /> <br />The State of Minnesota agencies are not required by taw to abide by City Ordinance; however, <br />they are choosing to fotJow City Ordinances. The City has not had any previous applications <br />requested or granted for this property. <br /> <br />Accessory structures are required to be 10 feet from the rear property line. However, all <br />structures are to be a minimum of 100 feet from an abutting residential zoning district. The <br />abutting zoning currently is R-I, single family residential. This is in conflict with the 1998 <br />Comprehensive Plan update. The zoning ordinance does not specifY which setbacks must be <br />followed for a temporary structure. <br /> <br />Due to the conflict with the Comprehensive Plan, temporary nature of the building, and lack of <br />residential homes in the area staff recommends the 10 foot accessory structure setback to be <br />sufficient. <br /> <br />The proposal will meet the lot coverage, circulation, access, and parking requirements of the site. <br />However, a site plan review has never been completed for this property. Staff recommended a <br />site plan review and rezoning be completed prior to the permanent structure being constructed. <br /> <br />Ms. RandatJ advised that the Planning Commission recommended approval of Planning Case <br />#00-08, Special Use Permit, subject to the fotJowing conditions: <br /> <br />e <br />
