R-1 Regulations, Existing Conditions, and Proposed Redevelopment <br />A. Lot Size chi Dimensions <br />The lot is 29,171 square feet, 95 feet wide and <br />Just over 305 feet long. The lot meets or <br />exceeds the size, width and depth requirements <br />for the R-1 District. <br />B. Structure Setbacks — Variance Required <br />From the front property line, the new dwelling <br />will be 29.6 feet back with the garage an <br />additional four feet (33.6) behind. Principal <br />strictures in the R-1 District require a front yard <br />setback of 40 feet, meaning this property has an <br />Karth Lake <br />1. Minimum Lot Area (sf) <br />1400 <br />2.

Minimum Building Setbacks <br />encroachment of 10.4 feet for the house and 6.4 feet for the garage. While the home is <br />allowed to be reconstructed in the same footprint and of similar volume, any <br />enlargements or expansions to the portion of the house or garage within the front yard <br />setback require a variance. Although the new dwelling will include a covered porch that <br />encroaches an additional 5.6 feet into the front yard, it meets the requirements for <br />covered parches in Section 1325.03, Subd. 2.D of the Zoning Code. <br />As the property is on Karth Lake, there is a required 50 feet setback from the Ordinary <br />High Water Mark (OHW). Although the original house was in compliance when built in <br />1979, the water level of Karth Lake has risen significantly, causing the structure to <br />become nonconforming. As the OWH line varies through the lot, the level of <br />encroachment varies, though at its closest point, the dwelling is 29.7 feet from the OWH, <br />representing an encroachment of 20.3 feet. The attached garage is in compliance with the <br />OWH setback. <br />City of Arden Hills <br />Planning Commission Meeting for April 8, 2009 <br />IIMetro-inet.uslar-denhillslPlanninglPlanning Casesl2009W9-008 Yauch Variance (pending)W40809 - PC Report- Yauch Variance.doc <br />Page 3 of 7 <br />
