<br /> Chart 5: Accessory Structure Setbacks <br /> Required Existing Proposed <br /> Structure Structure <br />Western Property line If Front Line I If Rear Line Inches 5.5ft <br />40 ft I 10ft <br />Southern Side Yard 101t 61t 6.75 ft <br /> <br />Based on the City's Zoning Code, which is guided by State Statutes, the accessory structure <br />could be rebuilt in its current location and at its current dimensions without a variance <br />(Section 1350.02 of the Zoning Code): <br />Continuation of Nonconforming Uses and Buildings. Any nonconformity, including the lawfu[ use <br />or occupation of [and or premises shall not be expanded but may be continued, including through <br />repair, replacement, restoration, maintenance, or improvement. <br /> <br />However, moving the accessory structure requires a variance because the new accessory <br />structure would still be encroaching on the front/rear and side yard setbacks. Even if the <br />accessory structure were not moved, increasing the height of the existing accessory structure <br />would still require a variance because that would be classified as an expansion of a <br />nonconfot111ing use. <br /> <br />The applicant has submitted a letter addressing the required variance evaluation criteria for <br />relocating the accessory structure (Attachment 3D-I). If the westem property line is deemed <br />the front property line, it may be impractical to relocate the accessory structure 40 feet from <br />the westem property line due to the amount of fill that would be needed, which is noted in <br />the applicant's letter. However, if the western property line is deemed the rear property line, <br />the garage would only need to move an additional 4.5 feet east and 3.4 feet north to be in a <br />confot111ing location. Although some additional fill would be required, it may be a <br />w0l1hwhile exercise to detem1ine how much fill would be needed to move the garage into a <br />COnf0t111ing location in order to eliminate the need for a setback variance for the accessory <br />structure. <br /> <br />4. Variance 3: New Gravel Driveway Variance <br /> <br />The existing driveway connects to Fairview A venue, and the applicant is proposing to <br />reconstruct that driveway. The proposed driveway would be 1,506.3 square feet of which <br />]067.1 square feet would be paved and 439.2 square feet would be gravel. Section 1325.06 <br />Subd 1.C.l of the Zoning Code does not permit new gravel driveways: <br />1. Surfacing. Off-street parking areas and drives shall be improved with a paved surface. <br />Such areas shall be so graded and drained so as to dispose of all surface water <br />accumulation within the area as required by the City and the Rice Creek Watershed District. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Ar/eetingfor July I 1 , 2007 <br /> <br />l\,lfelro-im.'f.lIs1ardcn!JiIls\PlallllillgIPlalllling Cases\2007107-016 Gonzalcz Variance (PC Table) 107/ 107 - PC Report- Gonzalez Varimlcc.doc <br /> <br />Page 6 of 13 <br />
