ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - NOVEMBER 7, 2001 6 Acting Chair Sand concurred with the comments made by the other Commissioners. He stated based on the engineer's report, this development would not comply with the Code .. and therefore, he was not in favor of this proposal. - Commissioner Zimmerman stated due to Hamline Avenue being a County Road, he believed the County would have some say in an access. Acting Chair Sand moved, seconded by Commissioner Pakulski, to deny Case #01-27, Hamline Preserve Preliminary Plat, for the following reasons: I. There is no hardship in the continued use of this parcel as a single residence and the present single-family use of this large parcel continues to be a reasonable use of the property. As such, absent the proposed plat the applicants still enjoy a substantial property right. 2. The proposed private access does not conform to City Standards. 3. Absent the requested variance, the proposed plat does not comply with the minimum requirements of the Code and therefore, carmot be approved. 4. Given the cnrrent configuration ofthe plat, the deficiencies of the private access and several unknown issues, granting the variance has the potential to adversely impact adjacent property owners. 5. For the reasons that have been stated regarding the street and utility access. . The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
