The setback requirement for comer lots in residential districts is 40 feet from the property lines which abut a street.

Lot Coverage - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for all residential districts is a maximum of 25%. The square feet of the house and shed at 1330 Nursery Hill Lane constitute lot coverage of 10%. 3. Landscape Lot Area - Exceeds Code Requirement. The requirement for all residential districts is a Minimum Landscape Lot Area of 65%. The addition of the shed at 1330 Nursery Hill Lane would leave approximately 85% of the lot as landscape area. 4. Traffic Visibility - Not Applicable. 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 !6) and ten (10) feet above the center line grades of the intersectinl!: streets within fifieen (15) feet of the intersecting street rights-ol-way. (Section 6C, 2(c)). There may have been some concern about visibility from the neighboring driveway which is south ofthe shed. However, the shed as currently cited is farther east than the row of evergreen trees which run uorth along the applicant's west property line.
