Memo to Planning Commission Planning Case #02-29 Page 2 of 5 . Site Plan Review 1. Setbacks - Code Requirement Met. The setback requirement for comer lots in the B-2 district is 50 feet from the property lines which abut a street. The existing building was constructed 39.8 feet from the east property line; the proposed special use would not encroach any further on the east property line. Furthermore, the only alteration to the size of the building would be to extend the drive-through canopy to the north and to create an entrance canopy to the south. Front Yard 50' 67' 54' Rear Yard 20' 152' 137' Side Yard Comer 50' 39.8' 39.8' Side Yard Interior 20' 145' 145' The Zoning Ordinance states in Section IX, I (Nonconforming Uses, Buildings and Lots I Prohibited Activities: Nonconforming Building); "No nonconforming building shall be increased, enlarged or altered in a way that augments its nonconformity." In this situation the only building alterations are the extension of the canopy to the north (front) and creating an entrance canopy to the south (rear). Theses changes are in conformance with code requirements. . 2. Lot Coverage - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for the B-2 zoning district is a maximum of 40%. The property would remain at only 5% of the lot covered by principal and accessory buildings. 3. Landscape Lot Area - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for the B-2 zoning district is a Minimum Landscape Lot Area of 25%. The expansion of the parking area would leave approximately 67% of the lot as landscape area. 4. Traffic Visibility - Exceeds Code Requirement. The Traffic Visibility requirements in the Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance are: On a corner lot, nothing shall be placed or allowed to grow in such a manner as to impede vision between a height of a two and one-half (2 !j) and ten (l 0) feet above the center line grades of the intersecting streets within fifteen (15) feet of the intersecting street rights-o.fway. (Section 6C, 2(c)). .
