<br /> ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION - SEPTEMBER 7, 2005 6 <br /> . Chair Sand asked if they were intending to increase the overhang and add a porch area <br /> which would mimic some of thc other homes in the area. Ms. Furlong rcplied that was <br /> correct and they would like it to be consistent with the design of thc rcst of the <br /> neighborhood. <br /> Commissioner McClung noted most of the homcs that had the overhang did not have <br /> porches. Ms. Furlong responded those residents who had the overhangs would like to <br /> add porches under their overhangs. <br /> Chair Sand stated from an aesthetic standpoint, a front porch \vollld add to the look and <br /> would improve neighborhood communication. He noted the Chatham neighborhood was <br /> a unique situation becausc when that neighborhood was built, the setback requirements <br /> were different than they were today. He stated he \vOllld not vote in t~lvor of this if it was <br /> just for the Chatham ncighborhood, but this would encompass the entire City. Hc <br /> believed it would increase the value of thc homes in the City and would bcncfit the City <br /> as a wholc. <br /> Commissioner McClung asked whcre clse in thc City did they have situations such as <br /> this. He stated he was not opposed to this, hut he wanted to make sure this was done <br /> right tor evcryone in the City. Chair Sand agreed they did not want to have this keep <br /> coming back. <br /> . Commissioner McClung stated he was concerned that the language thcy had in front of <br /> them was too specific to the Chatham ncighborhood. He suggested they look at the <br /> language further to make sure that it solved all of the problems in the City. <br /> Commissioner Zimmerman statcd this would allow all neighborhoods to have a porch as <br /> long as it met the requirements of 25 fect. Anyone \vanting a variancc of 25 feet \vould <br /> need to come to the Commission tor approval. <br /> Chair Sand indicated they could havc a second public hearing in order to clarify <br /> Commissioner McCl ung' s concerns. <br /> Commissioner McClung stated he hoped staff \vould be able to catch any potential <br /> problems out there that were not covered under the proposed language. <br /> Commissioner Larson stated in what they were doing was if they delete the PUD and <br /> SUP they could go to 25 feet, so thcy wcre incrcasing what was allowed under items 1 <br /> and 2 by five feet. He indicated he helieved this language would include most <br /> neighborhoods. Mr. Hellegers responded staff had found only one other neighhorhood, <br /> Benton Way, that had di ffercnt setbacks. <br /> Chair Sand notcd overhangs of one foot or less, had a tendency for water infiltration and <br /> a larger overhang was bettcr from a water safety standpoint. He stated he was not <br /> . adverse to holding a second public hearing, but he tended to be in favor of this request, <br /> however he did not want it singled out to the Chatham ncighborhood. <br /> Chair Sand closed the public hearing at 8:31 p.m. <br />
