Councilmember Scott reported he passed the Element 2 portion of his FCC exam and he was
now a licensed HAM radio operator. He explained he recently earned his technician Class
Amateur Radio (HAM) rating and am licensed to operate in the amateur frequency bands with call
sign WA7HPK. Besides the hobby aspect of Amateur Radio, HAMS also provide a vital public
service role for EmComm (Emergency Communications) for both planned and unplanned events
and incidents. Examples of these would be the recovery efforts after the 1998 F4 tornado caused
loss of life and extensive property damage in Comfry and St. Peter, MN as well as providing
communications and logistics support for a planned PGA golf or similar event in the area.
Federal, County and State governments typically have full time Emergency Management staff and
operate fixed and mobile Emergency Command Centers.
Councilmember Scott explained he also completed additional Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) training and earned certificates in Incident Command Systems, National Incident
Management and Emergency Communications. He alluded to several recent
practice/demonstration activities by local HAMS and announced he would be attending an open
house for the Salvation Army's Northern Division Headquarters' dedication of their new
Emergency Command Center in Roseville on June 16th.
Councilmember McClung stated all City Councilmember contact information was available on
the City’s website and all Councilmembers were open to receiving comments from residents. He
commented he has received a number of communications regarding the food truck Ordinance. He
indicated he was concerned about how the rhetoric became heated very quickly surrounding this
topic. He encouraged residents to recognize the fact that the Council has tabled action on this
matter in order to further discuss this matter, prior to taking action. He encouraged residents to be
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 14, 2021 5
tolerant of opinions that did not match their own. He stated the City Council would be weighing
the comments and concerns of all residents when making a decision on this Ordinance. He
requested residents be patient while Councilmembers respond to their comments and concerns.
Councilmember Holmes stated she appreciated the fact Ordinance 2021-005 had been tabled as
well because this would allow the Council more time to consider the matter along with being able
to respond to the comments she has received from the public.
Councilmember Holmes thanked Interim Public Works Director Swearingen for the update on
the in-house paving project. She appreciated the fact that staff had worked diligently to ensure this
project would not impact the city wide garage sales.
Councilmember Holden thanked Public Works for working to finish the in-house paving project
prior to the city wide garage sale.
Councilmember Holden asked where the City was at with the chicken ordinance.
City Administrator Perrault anticipated this ordinance would be coming before the Council at
the end of July.
Councilmember Holden reported there was activity on Facebook accusing a Councilmember of
swearing during a conversation. She commented further on this incident and indicated she was
the guilty party.
Further discussion ensued regarding the staffing levels within the Public Works Department.
Councilmember Holden recommended the Council hold a joint meeting with the PTRC to
discuss trail priorities.
Mayor Grant requested staff address State Fair parking concerns from the City.
City Administrator Perrault commented he would be seeking a response from the State Fair
regarding parking this year.

packets were arriving late.

includes recycling pricing. There is a base fee for the City to host the event of $2,500, and any

discuss possible incentives for residents at a recent work session and authorized a coupon for
residents allowing up to two items not to exceed $50 in total (estimated cost to the City between
$4,000 to $5,000). More information and the coupon will be available in an upcoming City

SUBJECT: PC19-002 – Assignment of Development Agreement with AHSL Partners LLC
(Trident Development)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• The Assignment of Development Agreement for the Planned Unit Development
Agreement with AHSL Partners LLC based on the City Council approval of Planning
Case 19-002 on July 22, 2019.
All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted.
Background
At its April 26, 2021 meeting the City Council approved an Amended and Restated Development
Agreement for the Planned Unit Development for AHSL Partners LLC (Trident Development).
The Master Plan PUD Agreement outlines the conditions as permitted for the construction a
three (3) story, 120-unit senior housing building which will include independent living, assisted
living, memory care and skilled nursing. The amended PUD Agreement has been signed and is
in the process of being recorded (Attachment B).
The Developer recently requested the City approve and sign an Assignment of Development
(Attachment C). The agreement essentially states that the City consents to the loan and should
the developer default under the loan, the City will recognize the lender as the Developer so the
lender can complete the project.
Page 2 of 2
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed Assignment of Development Agreement. He notes
this type of agreement serves as a preapproval for the lender to take over the project should the
original developer default, and it is not unusual for larger, multi-phased projects. One of the
advantages of the agreement is it offers additional certainty of process upon default, and includes
the financier in the team of people involved in completion of the contract as guarantor or
watchdog. Disadvantages may include it adds another player for staff to potentially have to
inform or deal with, the lack of previous contact or knowledge of the financier may pose
challenges, and the unknown expertise of the financier in operational development matters, and
remote location may complicate matters.
With that in mind, the City Attorney does not have any concerns with Council signing the
agreement as drafted.
Options and Motion Language
Staff has provided the following motion language for this case.
1. Recommend Approval: Motion to approve the Assignment of Development Agreement for
AHSL Partners LLC based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 19-002 on July 22,
2019.
2. Recommend Denial: Motion to deny the Assignment of Development Agreement for AHSL
Partners LLC based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 19-002 on July 22, 2019.
The City Council should identify findings to deny should specifically reference the reasons
for denial and why those reasons cannot be mitigated.

the Developer wishes the City to undertake prior to formal acceptance by the City of such streets. This
preparation shall include, without limitations, ramping any manholes as necessary to avoid damage to
snowplows or other vehicles used in street maintenance. Should damage occur to City snowplows or other
vehicles during the course of snowplowing or other maintenance procedures prior to formal acceptance of
the street by the City, the Developer shall pay all such damages and shall indemnify and hold the City
harmless for all such damage, cost, or expense incurred by the City with regard thereto.
10. WARRANTY. The Developer warrants all public improvements required to be
constructed by it pursuant to this Agreement for a period of twenty-four (24) months from the date of
acceptance by the City against poor material and faulty workmanship. All trees and shrubs shall be
warranted to be alive, of good quality, and disease free for twenty-four (24) months after planting. Any
replacements shall be warranted for twenty-four (24) months from the time of planting.
11. IRON MONUMENTS. In accordance with Minnesota Statutes 505.021 and Arden Hills
City Code Section 1140.01 the final placement of iron monuments for all lot corners must be completed
before the applicable security is released. The Developer's surveyor shall also submit a written notice to the
City certifying that the monuments have been installed.
12. PERMITS. The Developer shall obtain or require its contractors and subcontractors to
obtain all necessary permits, including but not limited to the following to the extent required:

x DNR for Dewatering
x City of Arden Hills for Building Permits
x City of Arden Hills Grading and Erosion Control Permit
x Rice Creek Watershed District
x NPDES Stormwater Permit
x Any other permits that may be required
13. DEWATERING. Due to the variable nature of groundwater levels and stormwater
flows, it will be the Developer’s and the Developer’s contractors and subcontractors responsibility to
satisfy themselves with regard to the elevation of groundwater in the area and the level of effort needed to
perform dewatering and storm flow routing operations. All dewatering shall be in accordance with all
applicable county, state, and federal rules and regulations. DNR regulations regarding appropriations
permits shall also be strictly followed.
14. TIME OF PERFORMANCE. The Developer shall furnish and install all required
public and private improvements in accordance with the Plans approved by the City on or before May 1,

granted, it shall be conditioned upon updating the security posted by the Developer to reflect cost
increases and the extended completion date. Final wear course placement must have the written approval
of the City Engineer, and may be delayed or scheduled at any time of the year based upon existing site
conditions at the discretion of the City Engineer.
15. LICENSE. The Developer hereby grants the City, its agents, employees, officers and
contractors a license to enter the plat to perform all work and inspections deemed appropriate by the City in
conjunction with plat development.

the operation, maintenance and dedication of easements for proposed facility improvements in accordance
187184v1 7
with the executed Stormwater and Recreational Facilities Operation, Maintenance and Easement

17. EROSION CONTROL. Prior to initiating site grading, the erosion control plan shall be
implemented by the Developer and inspected and approved by the City. The City may impose additional
erosion control requirements if reasonably required. All areas disturbed by the excavation and backfilling
operations shall be reseeded within fourteen (14) days after the completion of the work, weather permitting,
or in an area that is inactive for more than ten (10) days unless authorized and approved by the City
Engineer. Except as otherwise provided in the erosion control plan, seed shall be in accordance with the
City's current seeding specification which may include certified oat seed to provide a temporary ground
cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded areas shall be maintained as necessary for seed retention. The parties
recognize that time is of the essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the
erosion control plan and schedule or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take
such action as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in
advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's and City's
rights or obligations hereunder. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any cost the City incurred
for such work within thirty (30) days, the City may draw down the letter of credit to pay any costs. No
development, street or utility construction will be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the
plat is in full compliance with the approved erosion control plan.
18. GRADING PLAN. The plat shall be graded in accordance with the approved grading
development and erosion control plan. The plan shall conform to City of Arden Hills specifications. Prior
to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy the Developer shall provide the City with an "as constructed"
grading plan certified by a registered land surveyor or engineer that all ponds, swales, and ditches for
public drainage have been constructed on public easements or land owned by the City. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the City may issue building permits to the Developer, prior to completion of all grading,
provided the City Engineer has determined that adequate erosion control measures are in place. The "as
187184v1 8
constructed" plan shall include field verified elevations of the following: a) cross sections of ponds; b)
location and elevations along all swales, wetlands, wetland mitigation areas if any, ditches, locations and
dimensions of borrow areas/stockpiles, and installed "conservation area" posts; and c) lot corner elevations.
19. CLEAN UP. The Developer shall clean dirt and debris from streets that has resulted from
construction work by the Developer, subcontractors, their agents or assigns. Prior to any construction in the
plat, the Developer shall identify in writing a responsible party and schedule for erosion control, street
cleaning, and street sweeping.
20. CITY ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION AND CONSTRUCTION
OBSERVATION. The Developer shall pay a fee for engineering administration. City engineering
administration will include monitoring of construction observation, consultation with Developer and his
engineer on status or problems regarding the project, coordination for final inspection and acceptance,
project monitoring during the warranty period, and processing of requests for reduction in security. Fees for
this service shall be at standard hourly rates. Developer will provide a $7,500.00 escrow, which is separate
and in addition to any other escrow funds for this developer/development. The Developer shall pay for
construction observation performed by the City's consulting engineer. Construction observation shall
include part or full time inspection of proposed public utilities and will be billed on standard hourly rates.
21. CLAIMS. In the event that the City receives claims from labor, material, or others that
work required by this Agreement has been performed, the sums due them have not been paid, and the
laborers, material, or others are seeking payment from the City, the Developer hereby authorizes the City to
commence an Interpleader action pursuant to Rule 22, Minnesota Rules of Civil Procedure for the District
Courts, to draw upon the letters of credit in an amount up to 125 percent of the claim(s) and deposit the
funds in compliance with the Rule, and upon such deposit, the Developer shall release, discharge, and
dismiss the City from any further proceedings as it pertains to the letters of credit deposited with the District
Court, except that the Court shall retain jurisdiction to determine attorneys' fees pursuant to this Agreement.

City, at law or in equity, or under any other agreement, and each and every right, power and remedy herein

Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Development Agreement for New Perspective Senior Living based on the City Council
approval of Planning Case 20-022 on January 25, 2021 and February 8. 2021.
This items requires a simple majority.
Background
On January 25, 2021, the City Council approved a Zoning Code Amendment and a Conditional
Use Permit for the New Perspective Senior Living project located at 2 Pine Tree Drive. On
February 8, 2021, the City Council approved the Planned Unit Development and Site Plan for this
project. The project consists of a 192,390 square foot, four (4) story multi-family senior living
facility, featuring 146 units, with 113 units of independent or assisted living and thirty-three (33)
units devoted to memory care.
Since the approved plans, the Applicant has adjusted their unit count to include a total of 145 units,
consisting of 114 independent or assisted living units, and 31 memory care units. This change does
not have a significant impact to the project. The building footprint does not change, the number of
units fall within the maximum density of 20 units per acre, and the parking requirements increase
by 1 space. This space is covered in the shared parking agreement the Applicant has entered into
with Bethel.
Page 2 of 2
This project requires a Development Agreement between the City and the developer before the
development permits can be issued. The City Attorney has prepared the Agreement and the
document has been reviewed and approved by the Applicant and staff (Attachment A). The
Agreement specifically references the approved number of units and unit make-up based on the
Applicant’s latest plan. The Agreement also includes the Resolution approving the CUP and the
Shared Parking Agreement as exhibits.
Options and Motion Language
Staff has provided the following motion language for this case.
1. Approval: Motion to approve the Development Agreement with Arden Hills RE for New
Perspective Senior Living based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 20-022 on

Senior Living based on the City Council approval of Planning Case 20-022 on January 25,
2021 and February 8, 2021: the City Council should identify findings to deny should

control plan, seed shall be in accordance with the City's current seeding specification which may
include certified oat seed to provide a temporary ground cover as rapidly as possible. All seeded
areas shall be maintained as necessary for seed retention. The parties recognize that time is of the
essence in controlling erosion. If the Developer does not comply with the erosion control plan
and schedule or supplementary instructions received from the City, the City may take such action
as it deems appropriate to control erosion. The City will endeavor to notify the Developer in
advance of any proposed action, but failure of the City to do so will not affect the Developer's
and City's rights or obligations hereunder. If the Developer does not reimburse the City for any
cost the City incurred for such work within ten (10) days, the City may draw down the Letter of
Credit posted as the Security to pay any costs. No development, street or utility construction will
be allowed and no building permits will be issued unless the plat is in full compliance with the
approved erosion control plan.

Background/Discussion
On April 12, 2021 City Council approved Resolution 2021-021 Awarding the 2021 PMP Street
and Utility Improvements construction contract to C&L Excavating, Inc.
During the construction of watermain along Glenpaul Avenue it was determined that it would be
beneficial to City water shutdown operations to add a 12-inch gate valve on the watermain that
extends along Cleveland Avenue. The addition of the gate valve will assist in localizing a future
shut down if needed and less homes will be impacted. Bolton & Menk has provided a
recommendation to approve Change Order No. 1 in the amount of $4,200 (Attachment B).
The project is approximately 12% complete with the watermain and utility services near
completion along Glenpaul Avenue and storm sewer construction beginning along Prior Avenue.

documents. Payment No. 1 is in the amount of $314,620.05. Bolton & Menk has provided a

Council Should Consider
• A motion to approve, table or deny Planning Case 20-017 for a variance at 3493 Siems
Court
Approval of a variance requires a majority vote of the councilmembers.
Background
In September of 2020, Kye Samuelson (“Applicant”) requested a Variance in order to construct
an accessory structure near the shoreline of 3493 Siems Court (“Subject Property”) within the
Shore Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The Applicant requested a variance to build a 120 square
foot accessory storage structure that encroached eighteen (18) inches into the Shore Impact Zone
of Lake Johanna. The proposed structure exceeded the eight (8) foot height limitation at ten (10)
feet, six (6) inches. The rationale for the variance was that the structure would be used for the
storage of modern day recreational water equipment and the hardship was due to the rear yard
topography. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the
Shoreland Management District, and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan.
At the October 7th Planning Commission meeting the Applicant requested a variance to build a
120 square foot accessory storage structure that encroached eighteen (18) inches into the Shore
Page 2 of 8
Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The proposed structure exceeded the eight (8) foot height
limitation at ten (10) feet, six (6) inches. The Planning Commission voted to table the request to
allow the Applicant to revise their plans to better conform to the Shoreland Ordinance
provisions.
The Applicant took the Planning Commissions comments under consideration and submitted
revised plans for a smaller structure that would not encroach into the Shore Impact Zone. The
Applicant is now proposing to construct structure a nine and a half (9.5) feet tall and ninety-three
and a half (93.5) square feet in size. However, the proposed structure still required a variance due
to the proposed height and area that exceeded current ordinance standards.
At their December 9, 2020 meeting the Planning Commission reviewed and discussed this
application. The Planning Commission voted 4-3 to approve the planning case.
The City Council reviewed this request at its January 11, 2021 meeting. The City Council voted
unanimously to table this planning case to allow them to review the existing accessory structure
size standards for the Shoreland District. The Applicant signed a 6-month Extension Form
(Attachment B), requiring the City Council to take action on the variance request by July 12,
2021.
On June 28, 2021, the City Council approved Ordinance #2021-004, amending the requirements
for accessory structures in the Shoreland District. This amendment increased the maximum size
of an accessory structure to 100 square feet, and applied screening and design standards. The
amendment did not increase the maximum height.
Plan Evaluation
The following evaluation is based on the updated zoning ordinance requirements.
Shoreland Structure Setbacks - 1330.03, Subd. 5.E.1 - Meets Requirements
The Subject Property is located within a Shoreland Management District, which impacts the rear
setback of the property. Lake Johanna is classified as a General Development Lake, which
requires fifty (50) foot setback from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL).
The OHWL of Lake Johanna is 878 feet above sea level according to Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources. The Shore Impact Zone is the land located between the OHWL and a line
parallel to it at a setback of 50 percent of the structure setback. In other words, the Shore Impact
Zone is the twenty-five (25) feet nearest to the shore within the 50 foot rear yard setback of the
OHWL. The proposed structure would be located 25.2 feet from the OHWL setback just outside
the Shore Impact Zone on top of where an existing landing structure is located. As a condition of
approval, staff is recommending that the Applicant submit a zoning permit for the proposed
structure so that staff can verify the setbacks for the structure.
Page 3 of 8
Shoreline Impact Zone and 50’ structure setback.
Shoreland Regulations – 1330.03 Subd. 5, E, 2 – Variance Requested
City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 5,E,2 states that lakeshore lots are permitted one (1) accessory
storage shed within the required structure setback from the OHWL, provided it does not exceed
100 square feet in size and 8 feet in height measured to the highest point of the structure. The
proposed structure measures 8.5 feet by 11 feet, or 93.5 square feet. The height of the proposed
structure, measured from the base of the landing to the highest point of the structure, is
approximately 9’ 5” in height. The applicant is requesting a variance to the maximum permitted
height.
Page 4 of 8
Proposed structure elevations
Shoreland Regulations – 1330.03 Subd. 5, E, 3 – Does Not Meet Requirements
City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 5, E, 3 states the maximum width of an accessory structure, as
viewed from the water, may not exceed ten (10) feet. The proposed site plan shows the long
(11’) end of the building will face the lake. In order to meet this requirement, the shed must be
rotated on the lot so the short (8.5’) end of the structure faces the water. As a condition of
approval, staff is recommending the Applicant submit a zoning permit for the proposed structure
so that staff can verify the location and setting of the structure.
Shoreland Regulations – 1330.03 Subd. 5, E, 4-8 –Meets Requirements
City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 5, E, 4-8 states the following:
4. The structure or facility is not designed or used for human habitation and does not
contain a water supply or sewage treatment facilities.
5. The structure or facility shall be constructed of material architecturally similar in design,
texture, and color to the principal structure on the lot; the design shall be reviewed by the
City Planner prior to issuance of building permits.
6. The structure shall be screened a minimum of 50 percent by opaque vegetation or
topography on the three walls seen from the lake with ecologically suited landscaping
landward of the ordinary high water level from the lake.
7. The roof shall not be used as a deck or storage area.
8. The structure or facility is not a boathouse or boat storage structure as defined under
Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.245.
The proposed structure meets these requirements. As a condition of approval, staff is
recommending the Applicant submit a zoning permit with a landscaping plan for the proposed
structure so that staff can verify the location and setting of the structure.
Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4
1. Purpose and Intent. The variance request shall comply with the purpose and intent of the
provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and with the policies of the City’s
Comprehensive Plan.
The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the Shoreland
Management District and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan.
2. Practical Difficulties. The Applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the provisions of the Arden Hills Zoning Regulations. The
term “Practical Difficulties” as used in the granting of a variance means:
a. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner
not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
According to the Applicant, the storage of recreational water equipment for a single
family home is a reasonable use of an accessory structure within the Shoreland
Management District.
Page 5 of 8
b. Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique
to the property not created by the landowner.
According to the Applicant, there is a thirty (30) foot grade difference every 100 feet,
which creates a very steep slope to transport lake items up to store in the garage. This is
unique to the property, making it difficult to place the storage structure elsewhere.
c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character
of the neighborhood.
According to the Applicant, the storage shed would be 30 feet below the adjoining
neighbors, The Applicant is proposing to add landscaping to assist in screening the
structure and making it inconspicuous and blended to the landscape.
3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical
difficulty.
According to the Applicant the proposed variance is not based on economic consideration.
4. Access to Sunlight. Inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems shall be
considered a practical difficulty.
A solar energy system is not proposed.
Findings of Fact
The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their December 9, 2020, meeting and
have offered the following findings of fact for your consideration:
1. City Staff received a land use application for a request to build an accessory structure for
storage at the Subject Property 3493 Siems Court.
2. Storage of personal items is a permitted use for an accessory structure in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District.
3. The Subject Property has a steep downward slope in the rear yard that prevents the
Applicant from building on much of the site.
4. The Subject Property meets the minimum lot size, width, and length requirements for the
R-1 District.
5. The Applicant is requesting flexibility with the maximum height for an accessory storage
shed located within the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) setback requirement for Lake
Johanna.
6. The rear yard setback requirement for a proposed accessory structure is determined by the
OWHL of Lake Johanna.
7. The proposed structure is located 25.2 feet within the OHWL setback from Lake Johanna
which is 50 feet.
8. The proposed storage structure would be located outside the Shore Impact Zone of Lake
Johanna.
Page 6 of 8
9. One (1) storage shed is permitted with the OHWL setback requirement of Lake Johanna as
long as it does not exceed 100 square feet in size and eight (8) feet in height.
10. The proposed structure exceeds the height at nine (9) feet six (6) inches tall and exceeds
the area dimension at 93.5 square feet.
11. The proposed structure would otherwise conform to all other requirements and standards
of the R-1 district.
12. A variance may be granted if enforcement of a provision in the zoning ordinance would
cause the landowner practical difficulties.

Requesting the consideration of utilization of the Innovative Structures Ordinance to reconstruct a
lakeside storage shed with usable proportions to store paddleboards and other water items for purposes of security.
We feel that the use of natural materials and a sod roof system would be beneficial, considering the grade
difference of approximately 30’ of hillside to traverse, yielding an environmentally-friendly approach and a
natural visual setting for homeowner and neighbors looking downward on the lakeside/hillside

Variance Request for Accessory Structure
Revisions Explanation and Narrative – December 2020 Meetings
As a result of the October planning commission meeting, Kye Samuelson and True North Contracting
have taken all discussion topics into key consideration and made adjustments/reductions/modifications to
acknowledge the variables surfaced in the prior meeting. Below is a summary of the variables addressed:
- Repositioning/relocation of the structure, no longer encroaching within Ordinary High-Water
Line
- Confirmation of positioning of the structure to run laterally/parallel to shoreline
- Reduction of overall square footage of the structure
o Reduction in length – to 11ft.
o Reduction in width – to 8.5 ft.
- Confirmation of several variables that make the project entirely unique, in order to reduce
precedent and future requests for variance within current code requirements
Below is a summary of the key variables in consideration as conditional elements for this variance
request:
- Proposing the use of language of a ‘floating shed’ meeting the following conditions unique to
this specific scenario
o No adjustments to the existing footings/framing of the existing structure atop which
the accessory structure will be constructed
o No adjustment of the land or surface surrounding the area
o 100% drainage and runoff (no pervious surface) beneath the existing structure, with
runoff uninhibited by foundation or any non-natural elements
o Improvement of the previous legal non-confirming structure to promote natural runoff
o Optional requirement for addition of vegetation around future structure for
environmental and aesthetic purposes
o Optional requirements for language on maintenance of vegetation for aesthetic
purposes
We are hopeful that this summary will provide the necessary information on the key variables in order to
accommodate this request for variance supported by the descriptions and rationale provided in response
to the statutory requirements.
Sincerely,
Kye and Julia Samuelson

MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 9th, 2020 PC Agenda Item 3.B
TO: Planning Commission Chair and Commissioners
FROM: Joe Hartmann, Associate Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case #20-017 – No Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Kye Samuelson
Property Location: 3493 Siems Court
Request: Variance
Requested Action
Kye Samuelson (“Applicant”) has submitted a land use application for a variance to construct an
accessory structure at 3493 Siems Court (“Subject Property”). The Applicant is requesting a
variance for flexibility with a proposed accessory structure’s height and size within the Ordinary
High Water Level (OHWL) setback. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential
District, is located in the Shoreland Management District, and is guided as Low Density
Residential on the Land Use Plan.
Variance Flexibility Requested
A variance is requested for:
1. Proposed accessory structure height: currently proposed at nine (9) feet and five (5) inches
tall, eight (8) feet tall is allowed by ordinance.
2. Proposed accessory structure area, currently proposed at 93.5 square feet, sixty-four (64)
square feet is allowed by ordinance.
Background
1. Overview of Request
At the October 7th Planning Commission meeting the Applicant requested a variance to build a
120 square foot accessory storage structure that encroached 18 inches into the Shore Impact Zone
of Lake Johanna. The proposed accessory structure exceeded the eight (8) foot height limitation at
ten (10) feet, six (6) inches. The Planning Commission voted to table that request to allow the
Applicant to submit revised plans that would better conform to the provisions of the Shoreland
Ordinance.

P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-017 3493 Siems Court - Var\PC Packets\12-9-2020 Page 2 of 10
The Applicant took the Planning Commissions comments under consideration and submitted
revised plans for a smaller structure that would not encroach into the Shore Impact Zone. However,
the proposed structure still requires a variance due to the proposed height and area that exceeds
current ordinance standards.
The Applicant proposes adding new conditions of approval to the request that would set
performance standards for the structure and recognizes that this would set a precedent for future
structures located near the shore to follow (Attachment E).
For example, the Applicant proposing the use of language such as calling the overall structure a
‘floating shed’ that would require future residents to meet certain conditions unique to this specific
scenario. On the Subject Property, the Applicant notes that the site features 100% drainage and
runoff beneath the existing structure, with runoff uninhibited by any foundation or any non-natural
elements, which could be a condition of approval for future applications. They also request an
optional requirement for the addition and maintenance of vegetation around the future structure
for environmental and aesthetic purposes.
The Planning Commission is being asked to determine if a variance request for flexibility with the
Shoreland Management District setback requirements should be approved for the new proposed
accessory structure. This structure requires flexibility from the restrictions for City Code within
Shoreland Management Districts. The evaluation of the proposal should be based on the provisions
within the Zoning Code and the Requirements for a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 and the
Continuation of Nonconforming Uses in Section 1350.02.
A revised application should be reviewed in the same manner as required for a new application.
Any structural alteration or changes to the original plan require that all procedures shall apply as
if a new application were being requested.
Plan Evaluation
Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review
1. District Provisions (R-1 Single Family Residential District) – Section 1320.06
Lot Size and Dimensions
The minimum lot width required for the Subject Property is ninety-five (95) feet and the minimum
lot length is 130 feet. The minimum lot size is 14,000 square feet. The Subject Property meets the
minimum lot width and length requirements for the R-1 District as well as the minimum lot area
requirement. The property is approximately 16,152 square feet in area and, including the deck
structure near the shore, maintains a structure coverage of 24.8%, a FAR of 0.26, and an
impervious surface coverage of 31.3%. The maximum structure coverage allowed is 25%, the
maximum FAR allowed is 0.30, and the maximum impervious surface coverage allowed is 35%.
If approved for this variance, the property would be beneath the maximum structure coverage,
FAR, and impervious coverage allowed under City Code.

Structure Setbacks - Flexibility Requested
The Subject Property is located within a Shoreland Management District, which impacts the rear
setback of the property. Shoreland Management Districts overlay existing zoning districts of the
City s hown on the official zoning map. The Shoreland Management District classifies Lake
Johanna as a General Development Lak e, which determines certain setback requirements from the
lakeshore. The rear of the Subject Property faces Lake Johanna, which has a setback of fifty (50)
feet from the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL). Minnesota Statutes 103G.005 Subd. 14 defines
the OHWL as:
“…the elevation delineating the highest water level that has been maintained for a sufficient
period of time to leave evidence upon the landscape, commonly the point where the natural
vegetation changes from predominantly aquatic to predominantly terrestrial…”
The OHWL of Lake Johanna is 878 feet above sea level according to Minnesota Department of
Natural Resources. The Shore Impact Zone is the land located between the OHWL and a line
parallel to it at a setback of 50 percent of the structure setback. In other words, the Shore Impact
Zone is the twenty-five (25) feet nearest to the shore within the 50 foot rear yard setback of the
OHWL. The proposed structure would be located 25.2 feet from the OHWL setback just outside
the Shore Impact Zone on top of where an existing landing structure is located.

2. General Regulations – Section 1325.01
Accessory Structures
According to City Code Section 1325.01 Subd. 5, B, the exterior finish of accessory structures
shall be compatible in appearance and material used with the principal structure served by the
accessory structure. The Applicant is requesting a design that matches the exterior finish of the
principal structure of the house. The contractor who will build the proposed structure, Scherer
Brothers, has confirmed the wall load calculation needs and the truss load on the structure,
confirming that there no additional structural needs for wall and roof framing that would affect the
outward appearance of the structure. Staff is recommending as a condition of approval that to the
extent practical, the exterior materials of the proposed accessory structure shall be consistent or
complementary in color, texture and quality with those on the principal structure.

Floor plans and elevations for the proposed storage structure
3. Shoreland Regulations – Section 1330
Under City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 5, lakeshore lots may be permitted up to one (1) accessory
storage shed within the required structure setback from the OHWL, provided that it is not located
within the Shore Impact Zone; does not exceed sixty-four (64) square feet in size and eight (8) feet
in height measured to the highest point of the structure; and is not designed or used for human
habitation and does not contain a water supply or sewage treatment facilities. Measured from the
base of the landing to the highest point of the structure, the proposed structure would exceed the 8
foot height limitation at nine (9) feet, five (5) inches tall. The structure proposed would measure
8.5 feet by 11 feet, or 93.5 square feet, which exceeds the 64 square foot maximum allowed within
code.
City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 7 states that in Shore Impact Zones and on steep slopes, limited
clearing of trees and shrubs for access to the shoreline, and cutting, pruning, and trimming of trees
is allowed provided that a minimum of seventy-five (75) percent of the Shore Impact Zone be left
in its natural state. There is a thirty (30) foot grade difference every 100 feet, which creates a steep
slope to transport lake items up to store in the garage. The Applicant stated in their original
narrative that the grade in the rear of the property is difficult enough to have warranted the
construction of a switchback grass trail for a golf cart to bring elderly family members from the
driveway down to the lake. This would make it difficult to locate an accessory storage structure
elsewhere on the property. The proposal would prevent clearing of trees and shrubs for access
elsewhere in the back yard and maintain the Shore Impact Zone.

Topographic Overlay of 3493 Siems Court, depicting the change in elevation on the Subject Property.
City Code Section 1330.03 Subd. 7 continues that, “the minimal amount of vegetation shall be
altered and sufficient vegetative cover shall remain to screen cars, dwellings and other structures
when viewed from public waters. Except for the removal of invasive species, clear cutting of
vegetation shall be prohibited. Native vegetation shall be restored insofar as feasible after any
construction project is completed to retard surface runoff and soil erosion.” The Applicant
mentioned within their original narrative that the existing deck would be unobtrusive by adding
natural, deep-rooting vegetation around specific areas near the proposed storage structure, creating
more coverage and reducing phosphorous runoff. The Applicant argues that this would protect the
shoreland after development by reducing the runoff that would otherwise cause water pollution
and decreasing the need for additional stormwater treatment infrastructure.
4. Variance Review Requirements – Section 1355.04
The role of the Planning Commission is to determine and consider how the facts presented to them
compare with the city’s articulated standards. The Commission should base their decision on the
facts presented and then apply those facts to the legal standards contained in city ordinances and
relevant state law. Neighborhood opinion alone is not a valid basis for granting or denying a
variance request. While the Planning Commission may feel their decision should reflect the overall
will of the residents, the task of considering a variance request is limited to evaluating how the
variance application meets the statutory practical difficulties factors. Residents can often provide
important facts that may help in addressing these factors, however, unsubstantiated opinions and
reactions to a request do not form a legitimate basis for a variance decision.
The Planning Commission may impose conditions when granting variances as long as the
conditions are directly related and bear a rough proportionality to the impact created by the
variance. For instance, if a variance is granted to exceed the minimum OHWL setback requirement
City of Arden Hills
Planning Commission Meeting for December 9th, 2020
P:\Planning\Planning Cases\2020\20-017 3493 Siems Court - Var\PC Packets\12-9-2020 Page 7 of 10
within the Shore Impact Zone, any conditions attached should presumably relate to mitigating the
effect of the encroachment.
Deviations from the requirements for accessory structures in exceptional and unusual
circumstances may be permitted after Planning Commission review and City Council approval in
accordance with Section 1355.04 Subd 5 and with documentation showing the unusual
circumstances justifying the proposed deviation and plans for the proposed accessory structure.
The Planning Commission will need to determine, using the following variance findings and
criteria, whether there are practical difficulties with complying with the zoning regulations. If the
Applicant does not meet all three factors of the statutory test, then a variance should not be granted.
Variances are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of
the ordinance. Below are the Applicant’s findings of fact.
1. Purpose and Intent. The variance request shall comply with the purpose and intent of the
provisions of the City’s Zoning Regulations and with the policies of the City’s Comprehensive
Plan.
The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the Shoreland
Management District and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan.
2. Practical Difficulties. The Applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical
difficulties in complying with the provisions of the Arden Hills Zoning Regulations. The term
“Practical Difficulties” as used in the granting of a variance means:
a. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner
not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
According to the Applicant, the storage of recreational water equipment for a single family
home is a reasonable use of an accessory structure within the Shoreland Management
District.
b. Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to
the property not created by the landowner.
According to the Applicant, there is a thirty (30) foot grade difference every 100 feet, which
creates a very steep slope to transport lake items up to store in the garage. This is unique
to the property, making it difficult to place the storage structure elsewhere.
c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character
of the neighborhood.
According to the Applicant, the storage shed would be 30 feet below the adjoining
neighbors, The Applicant is proposing to add landscaping to assist in screening the
structure and making it inconspicuous and blended to the landscape.
3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical
difficulty.
According to the Applicant the proposed variance is not based on economic consideration.
4. Access to Sunlight. Inadequate access to direct sunlight for solar energy systems shall be
considered a practical difficulty.

A solar energy system is not proposed.
Findings of Fact
The Planning Commission must make a finding as to whether or not the proposed application
would adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood or the community as a whole based on the
aforementioned factors. Staff offers the following findings for consideration:
General Findings:
1. City Staff received a land use application for a request to build an accessory structure for
storage at the Subject Property 3493 Siems Court.
2. Storage of personal items is a permitted use for an accessory structure in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District.
3. The Subject Property has a steep downward slope in the rear yard that prevents the
Applicant from building on much of the site.
4. The Subject Property meets the minimum lot size, width, and length requirements for the
R-1 District.
5. The Applicant is requesting flexibility with the maximum height and size restrictions for
an accessory storage shed located within the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) setback
requirement for Lake Johanna.
6. The rear yard setback requirement for a proposed accessory structure is determined by the
OWHL of Lake Johanna.
7. The proposed structure is located 25.2 feet within the OHWL setback from Lake Johanna
which is 50 feet.
8. The proposed storage structure would be located outside the Shore Impact Zone of Lake
Johanna.
9. One (1) storage shed is permitted with the OHWL setback requirement of Lake Johanna as
long as it does not exceed 64 square feet in size and eight (8) feet in height and is not within
the Shore Impact Zone.
10. The proposed structure exceeds the height at nine (9) feet five (5) inches tall and exceeds
the area dimension at 93.5 square feet.
11. The proposed structure would otherwise conform to all other requirements and standards
of the R-1 district.
12. A variance may be granted if enforcement of a provision in the zoning ordinance would
cause the landowner practical difficulties.

Notice
Although a variance does not require a public hearing, a public meeting notice was prepared by
the City and mailed to properties within 500 feet of the Subject Property. Minnesota statute does
not clearly require a public hearing before a variance is granted or denied, however, after
consulting with the City Attorney, staff agree that the best practice is to allow a public forum on
all variance requests. A public forum allows the city to establish a record and elicit facts to help
determine if the application meets the practical difficulties factors.

PLANNING CASES
A.Planning Case 20-021; 2 Pine Tree Drive; Conditional Use Permit Release Request –
Public Hearing
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated in 2013 Bethel University
acquired the Country Financial facility at 2 Pine Tree Drive. The property consisted of three (3)
parcels that total approximately 43 acres. The subject property is located within the B-2 General
DRAFTARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 9, 2020 2
Business District, where higher educational uses are permitted by Conditional Use Permit. At its
November 25, 2013 meeting, the City Council approved a CUP for Bethel University to use the
existing facility as higher education.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported Bethel University has
recently received approvals to subdivide the existing property at 2 Pine Tree Drive into three (3)
lots of record. One (1) lot of record is the existing building and parking lot, and two (2) new lots
on the north side of the property. Lake Johanna Fire Department has purchased Lot 2 for a future
fire station. The attorney for Lake Johanna Fire Department has requested to clear title. The
effect of the releases are to free the new parcel from CUPs and easements that remain applicable
only to the parcel Bethel is retaining. This same process will need to occur for Lot 1, Block 1 and
will be completed during the approval process for New Perspective Senior Living Planning Case
20-022.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented further on the request
and recommended approval of the release to the Conditional Use Permit from Lot 2, Block 1 of 2

B.Planning Case 20-017; 3493 Siems Court Variance Request – Public Hearing
Required
Associate Planner Hartmann stated Kye Samuelson (“Applicant”) has submitted a land use
application for a variance to construct an accessory structure at 3493 Siems Court (“Subject
Property”). The Applicant is requesting a variance for flexibility with a proposed accessory
structure’s height and size within the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL) setback. The Subject
Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the Shoreland Management
District, and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan.
Associate Planner Hartmann commented at the October 7th Planning Commission meeting the
Applicant requested a variance to build a 120 square foot accessory storage structure that
encroached 18 inches into the Shore Impact Zone of Lake Johanna. The proposed accessory
structure exceeded the eight (8) foot height limitation at ten (10) feet, six (6) inches. The
Planning Commission voted to table that request to allow the Applicant to submit revised plans
that would better conform to the provisions of the Shoreland Ordinance.
Associate Planner Hartmann reported the Applicant took the Planning Commissions comments
under consideration and submitted revised plans for a smaller structure that would not encroach
into the Shore Impact Zone. However, the proposed structure still requires a variance due to the
proposed height and area that exceeds current ordinance standards. The Applicant proposes
adding new conditions of approval to the request that would set performance standards for the
structure and recognizes that this would set a precedent for future structures located near the
shore to follow.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated for example, the Applicant proposing the use of language
such as calling the overall structure a ‘floating shed’ that would require future residents to meet
certain conditions unique to this specific scenario. On the Subject Property, the Applicant notes
that the site features 100% drainage and runoff beneath the existing structure, with runoff
uninhibited by any foundation or any non-natural elements, which could be a condition of
approval for future applications. They also request an optional requirement for the addition and
maintenance of vegetation around the future structure for environmental and aesthetic purposes.
Associate Planner Hartmann explained the Planning Commission is being asked to determine
if a variance request for flexibility with the Shoreland Management District setback requirements
should be approved for the new proposed accessory structure. This structure requires flexibility
from the restrictions for City Code within Shoreland Management Districts. The evaluation of
the proposal should be based on the provisions within the Zoning Code and the Requirements for
a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 and the Continuation of Nonconforming Uses in Section
DRAFTARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 9, 2020 4
1350.02. A revised application should be reviewed in the same manner as required for a new
application. Any structural alteration or changes to the original plan require that all procedures
shall apply as if a new application were being requested.
Associate Planner Hartmann reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and provided
the Findings of Fact for review:
1.City Staff received a land use application for a request to build an accessory structure for
storage at the Subject Property 3493 Siems Court.
2.Storage of personal items is a permitted use for an accessory structure in the R-1 Single
Family Residential District.
3.The Subject Property has a steep downward slope in the rear yard that prevents the
Applicant from building on much of the site.
4.The Subject Property meets the minimum lot size, width, and length requirements for the
R-1 District.
5.The Applicant is requesting flexibility with the maximum height and size restrictions for
an accessory storage shed located within the Ordinary High Water Level (OHWL)
setback requirement for Lake Johanna.
6.The rear yard setback requirement for a proposed accessory structure is determined by the
OWHL of Lake Johanna.
7.The proposed structure is located 25.2 feet within the OHWL setback from Lake Johanna
which is 50 feet.
8.The proposed storage structure would be located outside the Shore Impact Zone of Lake
Johanna.
9.One (1) storage shed is permitted with the OHWL setback requirement of Lake Johanna
as long as it does not exceed 64 square feet in size and eight (8) feet in height and is not
within the Shore Impact Zone.
10.The proposed structure exceeds the height at nine (9) feet five (5) inches tall and exceeds
the area dimension at 93.5 square feet.
11.The proposed structure would otherwise conform to all other requirements and standards
of the R-1 district.
12.A variance may be granted if enforcement of a provision in the zoning ordinance would
cause the landowner practical difficulties.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated staff recommends approval of Planning Case 20-017 for a
Variance at 3493 Siems Court, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended
by the conditions below:
1.A Zoning Permit for an accessory structure shall be issued prior to commencement of
construction.
2.The exterior materials of the proposed addition shall be consistent or complementary in
color, texture and quality with those visible on the existing structure.
3.The Applicant shall add landscaped screening to assist in screening the structure from
adjacent properties. Planning staff shall review and approve the screening plan prior to
the issuance of Zoning Permit.
4.The proposed accessory structure shall conform to all other standards and regulations in
the City Code.

this matter:
1.Recommend Approval with Conditions
2.Recommend Approval as Submitted
3.Recommend Denial
4.Table
Chair Gehrig opened the floor to Commissioner comments.
Commissioner Lambeth stated this item was tabled due to the encroachment on the impact
zone. He asked if this matter has been addressed.
Associate Planner Hartmann reported this was the case.
Kye Samuelson, the applicant, explained the size of the shed has been reduced from 120 square
feet to 93.5 square feet. He indicated the shed would be used to store lake equipment. He
commented further on how the shed would be placed on the property.
Commissioner Lambeth questioned if shrubs would be planted around the shed.
Mr. Samuelson reported he plans to plant shrubs around the shed whether or not the City makes
this a condition for approval.
Commissioner Subramanian indicated he would like the landscaping and screening be made a
requirement for the permit.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated Condition 3 addresses this
concern.
Commissioner Subramanian asked if the shed would still have a green roof.
Mr. Samuelson reported the redesign of the shed would not allow for a green roof, but noted the
building would be screened with landscaping and would have natural vines planted to assist with
screening the shed.
Commissioner Vijums commented on how lake life has changed since the time City Code was
drafted noting there was a lot of additional equipment that needed to be stored and code has not
adopted to these changes. He feared that once a variance was passed, the City would receive
numerous requests for lakeshore sheds. He supported the City changing its code versus
reviewing numerous variance requests in the future. He believed that the shed request before the
Commission was still too large and for that reason would not be offering his support.
Commissioner Weber thanked the applicant for making concessions, but noted he agreed with
Commission Vijums that approving this request would lead to additional shed requests on lakes.
He recommended the City review the code.
DRAFTARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 9, 2020 6
Commissioner Wicklund commented on variance requirements and the criteria to meet a
variance. He stated the reasonable use requirements have been met by the applicant, along with
the character of the neighborhood. He discussed the significant sloping that occurs on the
applicant’s lot and how this was a unique circumstance. He reported if this variance were to pass
it would be a great example of City staff and the Planning Commission working with the
applicant given the fact City Code may be outdated. He noted the City Council would make the
final determination regarding this request.
Commissioner Jefferys asked if there were other storage sheds on the lake that were larger than
64 square feet.
Associate Planner Hartmann stated if the variance were approved, this would be the largest
shed on the lake.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported there were other larger
accessory structures that were nonconforming. He noted these were permitted without current
staff’s knowledge.
Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 7:14 p.m.
Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment.
Steve Nelson, 3475 Siems Court, indicated he did not have a problem with the proposed size of
the shed. He questioned if this were approved, if he would then be allowed to build a shed that
would fit his 16 foot canoe. He indicated he would love to build a boathouse, but understood this
was not allowed. He anticipated approval of this request would have a trickledown effect. He
reported everyone on the lake has items that need to be stored and this should be taken into
consideration by the City. He did not want the natural beauty of the lake taken away by having
numerous buildings and sheds on the lakeshore.
Terry Pernsteiner contractor for the applicant, commented on the larger structures located on
the lake, one being a two-story air conditioned boathouse.
Mr. Samuelson thanked the City for working with him on this variance request. He stated he has
learned a lot through this process. He explained he appreciated all of the comments he has
received from the City, the Planning Commission and his neighbors. He indicated he did not
want to create a problematic precedent, but rather was trying to describe the unique
characteristics of his lot.
There being no comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 7:23 p.m.
Commissioner Jones stated the Planning Commission was not a rule making body. He reported
the applicant came to the Commission in October and the request was tabled. He believed the
request before the Commission was reasonable. He supported this request being forwarded to the
City Council noting the Council will take into consideration additional requests may be made in
the future if this item were approved. He encouraged the City Council to review City Code
regarding the size of sheds and accessory structures for lakeshore properties.
DRAFTARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – December 9, 2020 7
Commissioner Wicklund asked for a brief description on what would have to be done to update
City Code.
Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained this would require a
Zoning Ordinance Amendment, which would require public hearings, neighborhood meeting,
Planning Commission review and City Council approval.
Commissioner Wicklund stated for the record residents were concerned about the precedent
that would be set if this variance were approved. He discussed how lake activities have changed
over the years and how there may be a need to address City Code because of this. He commented
because of the unique slope of the property he would be supporting the requested variance for
Mr. Samuelson moving onto the City Council.
Commissioner Jefferys stated she appreciated this discussion and how hard the applicant has
worked to address the concerns that have been raised. She explained she believed the lake was a
resource for a lot of people and for this reason, the bar has to be set higher in order for a variance
to be approved. She commented on the practical difficulty standards and indicated she did not
believe the applicant has a proven practical difficulty. She was of the opinion the proposed shed
would change the character of the neighborhood. For this reason, she would not be supporting
the variance request.
Commissioner Lambeth moved and Commissioner Jones seconded a motion to recommend
approval of Planning Case 20-017 for a Variance at 3493 Siems Court based on the findings
of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the four (4) conditions in the December 9,
2020, report to the Planning Commission. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried 4-
3 (Commissioners Jefferys, Subramanian, and Vijums opposed).

Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4
1.Purpose and Intent. The variance request shall comply with the purpose and intent of the provisions of
the City’s Zoning Regulations and with the policies of the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Residential District, is located in the Shoreland Management
District and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan.
2.Practical Difficulties. The Applicant for a variance shall establish that there are practical difficulties in
complying with the provisions of the Arden Hills Zoning Regulations. The term “Practical Difficulties” as
used in the granting of a variance means:
1. Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not
permitted by the Zoning Ordinance.
According to the Applicant, the storage of recreational water equipment for a single family home is a
reasonable use of an accessory structure within the Shoreland Management District.
2. Unique Circumstances. The plight of the property owner is due to circumstances unique to the
property not created by the landowner.
According to the Applicant, there is a thirty (30) foot grade difference every 100 feet, which creates a
very steep slope to transport lake items up to store in the garage. This is unique to the property, making
it difficult to place the storage structure elsewhere.
3. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the
neighborhood.
According to the Applicant, the storage shed would be 30 feet below the adjoining neighbors,
The Applicant is proposing to add landscaping to assist in screening the structure and making it
inconspicuous and blended to the landscape.

Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 –Continued
3.Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical
difficulty.
According to the Applicant the proposed variance is not based on economic consideration.

considered a practical difficulty.
A solar energy system is not proposed.
