APPROVAL OF AGENDA PUBLIC INQUIRIES/INFORMATIONAL This is an opportunity for citizens to bring to the Council ’s attention any items which are relevant to the City. In addressing the Council, you must first state your name and address for the record. To allow adequate time for each person wishing to address the Council, speakers must limit their comments to three (3) minutes. To facilitate a timely meeting, a speaker that is repeating, or agreeing with, a previous comment should simply state such and forego a longer comment. If a large number of citizens wish to speak, the Mayor may shorten the individual comment period. Written documents may be distributed to the Council prior to the start of the meeting to allow a more timely presentation. Speakers should not use obscene, profane, or threatening language, or make personal attacks. Matters of litigation involving the City shall not be discussed during Public Inquiry by citizens or Council. The Council may not respond to speaker comments, engage in a debate, or take any action on the issues raised by citizens, but may direct City staff to research or follow up on an issue, if desired by Council. If Council directs further review by staff, the results of that review will be presented at a following regular Council Meeting.

Ramsey County Attorney Public Safety Presentation ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 13, 2022 2 John Choi, Ramsey County Attorney, spoke to the Council regarding referral and charging data from the County and how the County was working to address these concerns. He encouraged the public to engage him in order to have further conversations. He reported there has been a decline in youth cases and the charging rate has been much tighter. The uptick in violent crime in St. Paul was reviewed. He believed solutions to this concern would be found when groups begin working together and was pleased to report that numbers were trending down in 2022 when compared to 2021. He commented on how national crime trends, the pandemic, civil unrest, the proliferation of guns, and policing challenges were impacting crime in the community. The Rule 20 “Gap” cases were discussed along with how the Minnesota Freedom Fund and cash bail system in the State was impacting crime. He reviewed the members of the community that have joined the Violence Reduction Leadership Group and discussed the great work being done by this group. His view on non-public safety traffic stops was discussed, along with how his office prioritizes violent crime. He thanked the Council for their continued support and asked for comments or questions. Councilmember Scott requested further comment on the cycles of crime. Ramsey County Attorney Choi discussed how crime increased after three day weekends, but noted he was not seeing cycles or patterns throughout the year. He commented on how many cases were not heard in court but rather handled through a plea bargain because there were not enough judges and attorneys to try all of the cases. Mayor Grant commented on the crime rates over the past decade and requested further comment on how the County Attorney chooses which cases will be tried. Ramsey County Attorney Choi explained which cases were and were not tried by his office. Councilmember Holden asked if the County was prosecuting the theft of packages from doorways. Ramsey County Attorney Choi indicated this would depend on the value of the item that was stolen, but noted the County was prosecuting these cases. He stated any item stolen that was valued over $1,000 was a felony. Councilmember Holmes discussed the case gap situation and how some police departments now have social workers working alongside police officers. Ramsey County Attorney Choi stated there was really good work being done and noted the Board of Commissioners has allocated money to have co-responders that would work or support police with regard to mental health cases. He commented on how Ramsey County was working to adjust its dispatch system noting the police may not always be sent to every 911 call. Mayor Grant thanked Ramsey County Attorney Choi for his presentation and for all of his work on behalf of the community. 5. STAFF COMMENTS A.

Ordinance 2022-002 Amending Chapter 3 (Mobile Food Units/Food Trucks) and Ordinance 2022-003 Amending the 2022 Fee Schedule and Authorizing Publication of Related Summary Ordinances City Clerk Hanson stated the City Council considered updates City Code pertaining to mobile units/food trucks last summer, and the matter was tabled at that time. She said the City Council revisited the food truck topic this spring and scheduled an open house for the May 16, 2022 work session. Notification of the open house was provided in the City’s March newsletter and posted on the City’s website. Following public input and further Council discussion at that work session, staff prepared draft language for the Council to consider at tonight’s meeting. City Clerk Hanson indicated that the draft proposed amendments included implementing a no- fee residential permit to host a food truck, similar to garage sales, in which residents may have no more than two food truck events at their private property and each event is not to exceed three days in duration. Other draft language included the removal of language relating to residential properties and private catered events such as weddings and graduation parties, thus allowing for open sales at residential properties, as well as the ability to impose an administrative fine in the amount of $100 for residents that do not obtain the required no fee permit. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 13, 2022 5 Councilmember Holmes suggested the section about the administrative fee for residents be amended to state a first offense will result in a warning and a second offense could result in a fee. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 2022-002 Amending Chapter 3, Section 320 - Limited, Temporary Permits, Subsections 320.09, 320.10 and 320.12; Section 395, Subsection 395.05, Subd. 1 and Subd. 2A; and Subsection 395.06. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend Section 395, Subsection 395.06 changing the second paragraph to read: A residential property shall be issued a warning for a first offense for failure to obtain the required permit as set forth in Section 320. Following a second offense, a resident may be charged an administrative penalty as set forth by the City Council (see Fee Schedule – Appendix A) for failure to obtain the required permit as set forth in Section 320. Councilmember Scott commented he would not be supporting this amendment because it adds more complexity than was necessary. Councilmember Holden stated she would be supporting the proposed amendment in order to protect the silent majority on this issue. She explained residents would now be able to have a food truck twice per summer, but for respect of the neighbors, this would not be allowed every weekend of the summer. Mayor Grant indicated he would be supporting the amendment as well. The motion amending Section 395, Subsection 395.06 regarding violations carried 3-1 (Councilmember Scott opposed). Councilmember Holmes encouraged staff to contact the residents that have recently applied to have residential food trucks in order to make them aware of these changes to encourage compliance with the Ordinance. Councilmember Holden suggested the Ordinance effective date be next Monday. Councilmember Holden asked when the summary Ordinance would be printed. City Clerk Hanson reported the Ordinance would be printed in the paper on Wednesday. Mayor Grant stated he supported the ordinance taking effect on July 1. AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holmes moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to amend the effective date for the Ordinance to be July 1, 2022. The amendment regarding the effective date carried (4-0). ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 13, 2022 6 Councilmember Holden reported she would be supporting the proposed Ordinance and encouraged residents to respect each other within their neighborhood.

MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 2022-003 Amending the 2022 Fee Schedule. The motion carried (4-0). MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Summary Ordinances 2022-002 and 2022-003 with the summary publication reflecting the amendments. The motion carried (4-0). 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 12. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Scott stated last month he attended a ribbon cutting for Lifelong Wealth Advisors which was a business that relocated to County Road E. He welcomed this business to the community. Councilmember Scott noted he attended family day for the 34th Infantry Division (Red Bulls) National Guard. He reported there was a tremendous turnout for this event. Councilmember Holmes thanked Ramsey County Attorney John Choi for his presentation this evening. Councilmember Holmes stated she attended family day for the Red Bulls as well and toured their facility, which was quite impressive. Councilmember Holden explained she also attended the Red Bulls family day. She indicated there were over 700 personnel members that report to the facility in Arden Hills, making this group an integral part of the community. Councilmember Holden requested staff speak with MNDOT about trimming the ash trees along Snelling Avenue. She reported this work was done by MNDOT in Roseville, but not Arden Hills. Councilmember Holden commented she was very concerned about Ramsey County not moving forward with TCAAP and how the City’s County Commissioner responded to the City’s approved proposal. She discussed how the County has not shown up to the last 40 monthly JDA meetings and how this was negatively impacting this project. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JUNE 13, 2022 7 Councilmember Holden discussed the affordable housing units that were available within the City noting 483 units were at 30% AMI or below. She encouraged the City’s Ramsey County Commissioner to review this information in order to provide the City of Arden Hills with equal representation. Mayor Grant reported he was disappointed with the fact the City’s Ramsey County Commissioner did not show up to speak with local businesses regarding the impacts of the County’s project along Lexington Avenue. Mayor Grant stated this past week he toured some of the street project improvement sites with Public Works Director Swearingen. Mayor Grant noted he attended the Lifelong Wealth ribbon cutting ceremony last month and welcomed this new business to the community. Mayor Grant indicated he was out of town and was unable to attend the Red Bulls family day event. ADJOURN MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adjourn.

Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: 2022 Street Maintenance Program – Public Works Costs Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $220,000 $397,276.37 Street Maintenance Fund Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: • Costs incurred by Public Works large area patching operations in the amount of $143,801 All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. Background/Discussion Attachment A shows the 2022 Street Maintenance Plan which includes preservation activities such as seal coat, fog seal and crack seal that are part of the JPA Coon Rapids program. Arden Hills Public Works performed large area patching within these same areas in preparation for the other preservation activities. When a bituminous pavement is in the advanced stages of deterioration, fatigue cracking and deteriorated joints will begin to form potholes of varying sizes. If the roadway is not programmed for rehabilitation soon after these distresses occur, an interim solution is needed. The large area patching is essentially a thin mill and overlay of the existing pavement by 1 to 2 inches in depth in deteriorated areas. For best results, the distressed areas are milled out prior to patching to create a neat, rectangular patch. Then loose material is removed and a tack coat is applied to the distressed area to facilitate bonding with the patch material. The overall purpose of Page 2 of 2 large area patching is to restore functionality to the pavement until a more substantial rehabilitation activity can occur. Budget Impact The 2022 Operating Budget includes funding in the amount of $220,000 for the proposed work under the 2022 Street Maintenance Program and other annual costs related to resurfacing streets. The overage of $177,280 will be covered with fund balance from the General Fund. At the end of 2021, the General Fund had $279,820 more than the 50% of fund balance called for in the City’s Fund Balance Policy. The plan will be to transfer the remaining $102,540 to the Capital Improvement (PIR) Fund at a later date.

Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Public Works 2022 Capital Equipment Replacement Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $42,000 (2022 CIP) $41,418.50 (After estimated auction) Equipment Replacement Fund Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: • Purchase of the Kromer Field Commander in the amount of $33,665.00 • Purchase of the TowMaster Trailer T-12D in the amount of $12,253.50 All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. Background/Discussion The 2022 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes two equipment items for replacement, consisting of a Toro Workman and a trailer. (Attachment A) Staff recommends replacement of Unit 411 with a Kromer Pro Field Maintainer Tractor. The proposed Kromer is able to drag ball fields, as well as paint lines on soccer fields and ball fields. Attachment B is specifications and a quote for $33,665 a new Kromer Field Maintainer Tractor. The vendor came to Public Works for a demo and we were able to see the machine in action. The Kromer is a multi-use ball field drag and striping unit that will add to the efficiency of our operations. The total estimated cost for the equipment, after auction, is $32,665 (estimating $1,000 in proceeds on sale of old machine). The CIP includes a budget of $30,000 for this equipment in 2022. Page 2 of 2 Staff recommends replacement of Unit 414 with a 20-foot TowMaster Trailer T-12D with beavertail. The proposed trailer style is preferred due to its frequent use by our Seasonal Staff and it’s easier to load multiple pieces of equipment compared to a tip-style trailer. Attachment C is a quote for $12,253.50 and details for the proposed trailer. The total estimated cost for the trailer, after auction, is $8,753.50 (estimating $3,500 in proceeds on sale of old trailer). The CIP includes a budget of $12,000 for this equipment in 2022. Budget Impact The Capital Improvement Program for equipment purchases table is provided in Attachment A which shows the annual and total five-year financial impact for the current CIP.

HR Green Regional Director David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: City Council Speed Limit Public Hearing Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $ $3,900+ General Fund Street Maintenance Council Should Consider Speed Limit Transition Public Hearing for Public Input. Background Minnesota Statute 169.14 Speed Limits, Zones; Radar regulates highway and roadway speeds in Minnesota. Subdivision 2 sets maximum speed limits on a variety of roads within a Municipality, such as 10 mph in alleys, 30 mph in urban districts, and 25 mph on residential roadways, if adopted by the road authority. In August 2019, the Minnesota Legislature changed the Statutes governing speed limits on city streets. The changes allow cities to establish speed on roads under the City’s jurisdiction, other than the statutory limits, without conducting an engineering and traffic investigation. Any speed limit changes must be implemented in a consistent and understandable manner. “The city must erect appropriate signs to display the speed limit. A city that uses the authority under this subdivision must develop procedures to set speed limits based on the city's safety, engineering, and traffic analysis. At a minimum, the safety, engineering, and traffic analysis must consider national urban speed limit guidance and studies, local traffic crashes, and methods to effectively communicate the change to the public.” City Council has discussed speed limit changes on various roads, and for a city-wide reduction on City owned and maintained streets, for a speed limit reduction from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. Page 2 of 2 Discussion The project has been developing a map for streets for potential speed limit reductions. Engineering reviews and discussions have been ongoing to help identify applicable streets, signage, locations and processes to potentially reduce speed limits. The City Council desires to solicit public input and feedback regarding speed limits. Coordination Speed limits have been discussed with City Council, staff, Ramsey County Engineering and Sheriff, City Attorney and Prosecutor to ensure proper sign locations from engineering, legal and enforcement perspectives. Final coordination efforts on sign placement with adjacent cities and Ramsey County Traffic Engineering to ensure “sign pollution” and conflicting messages are eliminated will take place if a decision is made to move forward. Sign Locations/Sign Inventory/Speed Limit Lamp Local City streets and MSA streets are eligible for speed limit reductions by the Council. Signs locations were reviewed and 25, 30, 35 and 40 MPH sign locations have been placed on the speed limit map. The Arden Hills MSA roads are shown on the speed limit maps as the thicker dashed lines. Citywide Speed Limit Sign/Communications/Code Speed limit locations other than the “default” speed limit are signed, currently speeds other than 30 MPH. If a city-wide speed limit is reduced to 25 MPH, the default 30 MPH speed limit signs would be replaced with 25 MPH signs or removed as applicable. Signs and locations have been discussed. For cost and consistent messaging, the 25 MPH speed limit sign, with an “unless otherwise posted” placard appropriately placed seem to be the most applicable signs to use. Budget Impact Signing Materials - $3,900 Replace 23 existing 30 MPH signs with 25 MPH signs. Seven existing 25 MPH signs will be reused (and remain on the sign replacement schedule) and 16 new 25 MPH signs will be needed New City-wide 25 MPH entrance signs will be needed (up to 29 new signs). Reuse 7 existing 25 MPH signs $ 0.00 New 25 MPH signs (16) $ 1,300 New City-wide 25 MPH signs (29) $ 2,600 Attachments Attachment A: Brief Speed Limit Overview Presentation Attachment B: Existing Speed Limit Map ARDEN HILLS SPEED LIMIT DISCUSSIONS –CONTINUED June 27, 2022 –Council Public Hearing Presentation Presented by: John Morast, PE –HR Green Regional Director 6/23/2022 1 Project Title Location Speed Limit Discussions –Process Recap 7/19/2021 2 New Local Road Speed Limit Process Minn.

Ordinance language would be added to allow for review based on site suitability and compatibility with the area through the Planned Unit Development process. The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item 9B. Background At their April 18th work session, the City Council discussed possible topics that could be considered for holding a Joint Meeting with the Planning Commission. Reviewing potential topics in advance would allow planning staff an opportunity to research content and flexibility for scheduling the joint meeting at a later date based on planning case submissions. From this discussion, the Council decided that fences, drive-thru commercial districts and home occupation deliveries would be worked on by staff. Topics for a future joint meeting would be signage and infill items. Page 2 of 2 Staff was directed to bring forward the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission for the first review and to hold a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the draft ordinance language with recommendation of the Planning Commission would be brought to the City Council for subsequent discussion and adoption. Overview of Ordinance Amendments Staff has prepared a draft ordinance showing language to be removed and added in red font for your review (Attachment A). The general consensus of the Council was that the consumer preference for drive-up, drive-thru, and curbside pickup for restaurants and retail markets has changed dramatically over the past couple of years. The City in a number of instances has approved flexibility to the city code requirements for proximity to other establishments under the Planned Unit Development process to allow drive-thru windows and businesses within a closer distance of each other. Therefore, the Council directed the review of our current ordinance language which requires a separation of 1,320 feet (i.e. 0.25 miles) between these types of businesses. The proposed amendments would strike language in the business zoning districts which has a requirement of 1,320 feet between establishments such as drive-up businesses, drive-up windows, fast food restaurants, and automobile service stations and adds language to allow the City to review and add conditions for approval based on site suitability and compatibility with the area through the Planned Unit Development process. The applicable Sections are as follows: • Section 1320.085, Subd. 3 Special Regulations for Drive-up Windows in the B-2, General Business District • Section 1320.09, Subd. 3 Special Regulations for Drive-up Windows in the B-3, Service Business District • Section 1320.10, Subd. 4 Special Requirements for Drive-up Windows in the B-4, Retail Business District • Section 1325.04, Subd. 1.B, Proximity to Other Establishments Public Notice and Comments A Zoning Code Amendment requires a public hearing. A public hearing notice for this planning case was published in the Pioneer Press and posted on the City’s website on June 16, 2022. The City has not received any public comments regarding this case.

(revised 12/17/08 06/27/22) Because drive-in businesses, drive-up windows, fast food restaurants and automobile service stations present certain unusual problems, they are hereby required to meet the following requirements in addition to the general requirements applicable to them in the zoning district in which they are to be located, unless otherwise regulated in this Code: Subd. 1 Location. A. Proximity to Schools, Churches, Public Recreational Areas and Residential Lots. No drive-in business, drive-up window, or fast food restaurant shall be located on a site that is within four hundred (400) feet of a public, private or parochial school, a church, a public recreation area, or any residentially zoned property.

In any Business Zoning District, nNo drive- in business, drive-up window, or fast food restaurant shall be located on a site that is within one thousand three hundred twenty (1,320) feet of the boundaries of another one the proximity of the boundaries of another one is determined by the City Council through the PUD process to be incompatible with the area in which it the proposed use is to be located. A drive-in business, drive-up window, fast food restaurant, and automobile service station may be limited in proximity as deemed appropriate by the City Council so as not to unreasonably interfere with adjacent and nearby uses. C. Unreasonable Traffic Volume. No drive-in business, drive-up window, or fast food restaurant shall be located on a site if the probable result of such location would be to unreasonably increase traffic volume on nearby streets. D. Size of Lot. No drive-in business, drive-up window, or fast food restaurant shall be located on a lot of less than twenty-four thousand (24,000) square feet. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 8 Commissioner Mitchell stated she would support denial of the request as well due to the noise concerns. She reported she also had concerns with how this development would impact traffic, especially given the fact this area already had traffic concerns. Commissioner Weber indicated a sound wall was 10+ years out for this portion of roadway. Commissioner Wicklund commented he looked differently at this project. He understood the Planning Commission did not support high density on this corner property but noted he would be voting differently for this project. He reported the issue before the Commission was a reguiding for this property to high density. He stated solving the traffic concerns would be addressed down the road if and when a proposal comes before the City for this property. Commissioner Weber stated he did not believe the Commission was saying we don’t ever want high density on this corner, but rather the Commission was saying right now, this project does not fit the character of the neighborhood. Chair Vijums moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to recommend denial of Planning Case 22-009 for a Future Land Use Map and Chapter 6 Text Amendments to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan at 1700 Highway 96 West based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the June 8, 2022, report to the Planning Commission, noting the Commission had concerns with traffic, access, noise, neighborhood character, and the potential for additional high density units in this neighborhood. The motion carried 5-1 (Commissioner Wicklund opposed). C. Planning Case 22-011; City of Arden Hills – Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Special Regulations for Drive-Up Windows and Drive Lanes – Public Hearing City Planner Jagoe stated at their April 18th work session, the City Council discussed possible topics that could be considered for holding a Joint Meeting with the Planning Commission. Reviewing potential topics in advance would allow planning staff an opportunity to research content and flexibility for scheduling the joint meeting at a later date based on planning case submissions. From this discussion, the Council decided that fences, drive-thru commercial districts, and home occupation deliveries would be worked on by staff. Topics for a future joint meeting would be signage and infill items. City Planner Jagoe explained staff was directed to bring forward the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission for the first review and to hold a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the draft ordinance language with recommendation of the Planning Commission would be brought to the City Council for subsequent discussion and adoption. City Planner Jagoe commented on the Overview of the Ordinance Amendments and provided the Findings of Fact for review: 1. The City of Arden Hills is proposing to amend ordinance language to allow the City Council to add conditions of approval for uses with drive-up windows and drive lanes through a Planned Unit Development. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 9 2.The proposed ordinance will include amendments to the language of Chapter 13 – Zoning Code of the City Code. 3.Amendments to the Zoning Code regulations require a public hearing prior to action by the City Council. City Planner Jagoe reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1.Recommend Approval with Conditions 2.Recommend Approval as Submitted 3.Recommend Denial 4.Table Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Weber discussed how modern building design was leading to the City losing 20% to 40% of taxability per lot. He explained he would be supporting the proposed language changes, but commented on how the additional drive-ups would reduce the City’s tax base over time. Commissioner Collins questioned why a 1,300 feet requirement was put in place originally. City Planner Jagoe stated she was not sure of the specific reason and that this provision has been in the code for a number of years, but it may have been designed to keep a measurable distance and space between drive-thru establishments. Councilmember Holmes understood part of the reason for the 1,300 foot requirement was to limit the number of drive-thru establishments in the community. Chair Vijums reported this change would allow drive-thrus to become more discretionary. City Planner Jagoe stated this was correct, as the City would be looking at site suitability for future drive-thrus. Chair Vijums opened the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Chair Vijums invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. There being no comment Chair Vijums closed the public hearing at 8:12 p.m. Commissioner Mitchell moved and Commissioner Wicklund seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 22-011 for Zoning Code Amendments to Chapter 13 in Section 1320.085 - Subd. 3, Section 1320.09 - Subd. 3, Section 1320.10 - Subd. 4 and Section 1325.04 - Subd. 1.B of the Arden Hills City Code to strike language requiring a distance of separation between drive-up businesses and add language for review through a Planned Unit Development as presented in the June 8, 2022 Report to the Planning Commission.

Current ordinance language requires a separation of 1,320 feet (i.e. 0.25 miles) between drive-up businesses, drive-up windows, fast food restaurants, and automobile service stations. Proposed amendments would strike the requirement of 1,320 feet between these types of businesses establishments and adds language to allow the City to review based on site suitability and compatibility with the area through the Planned Unit Development process.

The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item 9C. Background At their February 22, 2022 meeting, the City Council reviewed a concept plan from Trident Development for the development of the northwest corner of the North Heights Lutheran Church property at 1700 Highway 96 W. Trident Development was proposing a 115-125 unit senior apartment development (apartments only, the proposed will not have an assisted living or memory care component). The Applicant indicated their intention would be to subdivide and purchase approximately 10.27 acres in the northwest corner of the Subject Property. In preparation for the February 22, 2022 meeting, the Developer had held a neighborhood meeting to garner resident feedback. At the meeting, residents voiced concerns regarding traffic, additional park demand, and noise concerns. Page 2 of 5 Aerial Map of Subject Property For a residential project to be feasible on the site, Trident would need to amend the Comprehensive Plan. This Planning Case is only focused on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments and a proposed project for this property would come forward at a future meeting for review. At this stage, the City is being asked to amend the vision for future growth and development for this property. The Comprehensive Plan is the planning tool that guides the future development of land irrespective of a specific project. Following the review of the proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments, the Applicant will be required to submit another land use application for the development approvals. Based on the feedback Trident Development received from the City Council during the Concept Review, they’ve chosen to proceed with the preparation of their final development plans for this site. Based on the concept review plans, staff believes this proposal would require the following land use requests: • Preliminary Plat and Final Plat for Subdivision • Vacation of Easements (i.e. drainage/wetland) • Rezoning of the development site from B-1, Limited Business and R-1 – Single-Family Residential District to R-4 – Multiple Dwelling District • Conditional Use Permit for Multiple Family Dwelling in the R-4 District • Master and Final Planned Unit Development Comprehensive Plan Requirements Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. It is also a reference document for the Planning Commission and City Council when evaluating private development projects. Based on the future land uses, the City can plan for improvements, anticipate infrastructure needs, and create appropriate land use regulations. The City’s Zoning Code identifies specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals in the Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. The zoning cannot conflict with the future land use designation. When there is a Page 3 of 5 conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code, the City is required to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan and all its amendments must reflect the adopted regional policies in the Metropolitan Council’s system and policy plans. Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and trails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City’s plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing, and adoption of a resolution by the City Council. Adjacent communities must be given up to 60 days to review and comment on the proposed amendment before it can be reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has the final determination as to whether to allow a CPA or not, though they provide great deference to the City as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks). Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Application Review 1. Future Land Use Designation For this application, Trident Development has requested that the 2040 future land use designation for the northwest corner of the Subject Property (i.e. approximately 10.75 acres) be amended from P/I, Public and Institutional to be guided as HDR, High Density Residential. The developed portion of the site (i.e. Church use, approximately 30 acres) would remain as is under the Public and Institutional land use designation. The Arden Hills 2040 Future Land Use Map would also be amended to reflect the change in land use classification. (Attachment E) • Public and Institutional (P/I) – Areas designated for uses such as government buildings, colleges, schools, and religious uses, but not medical uses. A Development intensity of up to 0.8 FAR may be allowed. • High Density Residential (HDR) – Townhome and multi-family residential land use category providing for densities of nine (9) to twelve (12) units per acre. The majority of the property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District. Approximately 6 acres of land at the northwest corner of the site adjacent to the Highway 96 and U.S. Highway 10 interchange is zoned B-1, Limited Business District. The property is also within 1,000 feet of Round Lake and would be subject to applicable Shoreland regulations. If the proposed amendment to the future land use designation was approved, the Applicant would include as part of their subsequent submittal a request to rezone the property to R-4, Multiple-Dwelling District to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The following table identifies the zoning and 2040 Future Land Use designations for the areas immediately adjacent to the Subject Property: North Heights Property North South East West Zoning R-1 (35 acres) B-1 (6 acres) Shoreland TRC – Flex Office, Retail Mixed Use Parks and Open Space R-1 R-1 Future Land Use Public & Institutional Flex Office, Retail Mixed Use (TCAAP) Parks and Open Space Low Density Residential, Very Low Density Residential Low Density Residential Page 4 of 5 *Area outlined in red identifies approximate 10.75 acres of Subject Property for proposed Future Land Use Classification from P/I to HDR. 2. Section 6.4.10, Development Capacity and Net Residential Density The Applicant has requested a second amendment to the existing language in Chapter 6, Land Use Section 6.4.10 that would modify the described boundaries within existing plan language to include the entire Subject Property. This existing language allows an increase in the maximum density through the use of a Planned Unit Development. (Attachment F) The proposed text amendment language identified in red font is as follows: Furthermore, the remaining vacant residential land that is south of Highway 96 and 10 is guided for development that could be built at a density of an average of five residential units per acre. Land guided for High Density east of Interstate 35W, south of County State Aid Highway 96, west of US Trunk Highway 10 Snelling Avenue North and north of interstate 694 density may be increased by up to 100% through the use of the Planned Unit Development (PUD) process if the intent is to meet the goals of the Comprehensive Plan. The City Code includes PUD regulations that allow for a higher quality and compatible development of property by encouraging reasonable flexibility from applicable standards, including at higher densities than would be allowed under the underlying zoning district and/or guided land use designation. The City has utilized PUDs and PUD Overlays for many residential and commercial developments, which is a trend that is likely to continue into the future given the limited size and amount of land available for new development and potential redevelopment east of Interstate 35W, south of County State Aid Highway 96, west of US Trunk Highway 10 Snelling Avenue North and north of interstate 694. 2040 Future Land Use Map Page 5 of 5 As noted above, the application before the City Council is not for the final development review for the Subject Property. The Applicant is seeking the proposed amendments in advance of their full submission to ensure their final development plans align with the City’s vision and future land use plans for this site. Additional Reviews Following City Council decision, if approved, and the expiration of the 60-day review period, Staff would submit a resolution and the amendments to the Metropolitan Council for review and approval. Planning staff has reviewed both of the proposed amendments with the Metropolitan Council and they have indicated support for the requests. Public Notice and Comments Notice was published in the Pioneer Press on June 16, 2022. Notice was prepared by the City and mailed to property owners within 1,000 feet of the subject property. As of June 22, 2022, one comment was received via email in opposition following the Planning Commission meeting. The Planning Commission received three comments in advance of the meeting in opposition and two members of the public in attendance spoke in opposition. A summary of comments in opposition were concerns with traffic, noise, character of the neighborhood, and tree preservation. Attachments A. Land Use Application B. Location Map C.

The odd and unusual shape of the lot and topography are unique characteristics of the Subject Property, and those factors restrict alternative options for increased accessory storage. 2. There is limited ability to extend the existing driveway to a detached structure in another location, and single family residential properties are limited to one driveway access per property so a second driveway access would not be permitted off of Valentine Avenue. 3. The garage addition will not impede sight lines or obstruct the clear vision area from the roadways. 4. This is a legal nonconforming lot that was developed in 1953 at which time City Code allowed a 10 foot side yard setback. The scope or scale of the variance request is to locate the proposed garage at a 7.82 foot setback. and based on the submitted plans, as amended by the two (2) conditions in the June 8, 2022, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. Planning Case 22-009; 1700 Highway 96 W – Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Public Hearing City Planner Jagoe stated Trident Development has submitted an application for two amendments to Chapter 6, Land Use of the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendments would change the future land use designation in the northwest corner of 1700 Highway 96 West (“Subject Property”) from P/I, Public and Institutional to be guided as HDR, High Density Residential as well as modify existing language in Section 6.4.10 to include the entire Subject Property to allow an increase in the maximum density through the use of a Planned Unit Development. City Planner Jagoe reported Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. It is also a reference document for the Planning Commission and City Council when evaluating private development projects. City Planner Jagoe explained based on the future land uses, the City can plan for improvements, anticipate infrastructure needs, and create appropriate land use regulations. The City’s Zoning Code identifies specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals in the Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. The zoning cannot conflict with the future land use designation. When there is a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code, the City is required to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Comprehensive Plan.

Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and trails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City’s plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing, and adoption of a resolution by the City Council. Adjacent communities must be given up to 60 days to review and comment on the proposed amendment before it can be reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has the final determination as to whether to allow a CPA or not, though ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 4 they provide great deference to the City as long as the proposed land use change does not have a negative impact on a regional system (i.e. transportation, sanitary sewer, and regional parks). City Planner Jagoe reviewed the surrounding area, the Plan Evaluation and provided the Findings of Fact for review: 1. The Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use for the Subject Property as P/I, Public and Institutional. 2. The Applicant has requested a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to change the future land use designation of approximately 10.75 acres in the northwest corner of the Subject Property to HDR, High Density Residential. 3. The 30 +/- acres of developed land on the Subject Property would remain guided as P/I, Public and Institutional. 4. The Applicant has requested a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to modify the boundaries described in existing language of Chapter 6 to include the Subject Property. 5. The proposed text amendment incorporates a defined area of land west of Snelling Avenue North to existing Comprehensive Plan language that allows an increase in the maximum density as part of a Planned Unit Development. 6. The application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. 7. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. 8. The Metropolitan Council has previously approved similar amendments adding language supporting increasing the densities above the maximum permitted in a specific land use district. 9. The proposed map and text amendments have been discussed with the Metropolitan Council. City Planner Jagoe reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Amendments 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Blilie commented on how a high density building would impact this corner. City Planner Jagoe discussed the concept plans that were presented to the City Council noting access to the building was shown to be from Highway 96. She explained more detailed plans would be brought to the City with the future land use application for the project if the Comprehensive Plan Amendment was approved. Commissioner Collins requested further information regarding the wetland easement. City Planner Jagoe reported the wetland impacts would be further understood as part of the future project review. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 5 Commissioner Collins stated it looks like this development would share parking and access with the North Heights Church. City Planner Jagoe commented this was the case as shown during the concept review, noting a shared parking and access agreement would be drafted and recorded with the property as part of the development approvals. Commissioner Collins questioned if there were plans for a high density senior housing development within TCAAP. City Planner Jagoe stated she could not confirm specifics within TCAAP, but she understood there were plans for multi-family dwellings within the TCAAP site. Councilmember Holmes explained the TCAAP site has gone through many iterations. She commented at one time a senior, multi-family dwelling was included but at this time, there was nothing specifically designated for seniors, however, this did not mean there won’t be. She discussed how the developer for this project wants to get the Comprehensive Plan Amendments in place prior to moving forward with their development plans. Commissioner Collins indicated the TCAAP community will be much different than the community that resides south of Highway 96. He stated he had concerns with building a unicorn on the corner of this lot that does not relate to the rest of the neighborhood. He anticipated the proposed senior housing development would fit better on the TCAAP site. Commissioner Weber stated he would be impacted by the proposed project as he lived directly across the street from the North Heights Church. He agreed with the concerns that have been raised about how this development would not fit in with the surrounding neighborhood. He believed a high density building did not fit in with the low density neighborhood. He discussed how the Comprehensive Plan guides this property to Public and Institutional and explained he did not support a change to the Comprehensive Plan. He indicated he was seriously concerned about the proposed change. He noted he was also concerned about including the entire North Heights Lutheran Church property in the high density zoning district. He explained he would not be allowed to put up a large building on his property and therefore he did not support North Heights Church being allowed to do this. He discussed how the large building would reflect sound to neighboring properties which would compound problems for the neighboring residents. He was of the opinion if this project were to move forward, property values would be adversely impacted. He reported this property was classified for an institutional use and should remain as such. Commissioner Wicklund asked if there were any links between making these Comprehensive Plan Amendments with the proposed traffic light that would be installed with TCAAP. City Planner Jagoe stated this could be reviewed and discussed with a future development plan. Commissioner Wicklund reported the TRC for TCAAP does allow for senior independent living, assisted living and memory care within the Town Center portion of the development. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 6 Commissioner Mitchell commented her initial reaction to this project was that this was a good corner for the proposed development because it was separated from the surrounding neighborhood by the church property. She understood there would be a loss of trees but she understood the City had tree replacement requirements. She stated she drove the site and she appreciated the concerns that were raised by Commissioner Weber. She suggested a sound wall or green buffer be required in order to address the noise concerns that would be created by the proposed senior apartment complex. She understood the Twin Cities needed more housing and she believed there were some upsides to developing this corner into senior housing. Chair Vijums stated he has many concerns with this development site. He understood the North Heights Church has elected to sell of this corner for financial reasons. He indicated this allows a developer to come in but noted this was not a high density area. He reported this property was zoned low density. He believed it would be horrible for the people that live adjacent to the proposed senior building to have to look at this from their single-family home. He commented on how difficult it would be for seniors to enter and exit the proposed property. He did not s ee anything good about locating this senior housing project on this parcel. He spoke about the senior housing project that was being constructed at the corner of Hamline and Snelling Avenue. He noted this was a more suitable corner for such a structure. He reiterated that he did not believe the proposed corner was the right fit for a senior housing project. He feared the City would be opening a big can of worms if this project were to move forward. Commissioner Weber stated it takes 100 feet of trees in order to reduce 10 decibels of sound. He indicated there was not enough space on the North Heights Church property to plant enough trees to assist with addressing the noise concerns. He commented further on how this portion of Highway 10 was in the top 10 for being the loudest roadways in the State of Minnesota. He discussed how the proposed apartment building would compound the noise concerns. Commissioner Blilie reported she does not live in this area of Arden Hills and was not familiar with the noise concerns. She explained she opposed making a Comprehensive Plan Amendment, given the lack of sensible ways to access this property. She did not support this project moving forward due to the lack of access in and out of this site. Chair Vijums opened the public hearing at 7:35 p.m. Chair Vijums invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Denise Sayer, 4482 North Snelling, stated she lived directly across the street from North Heights. She discussed how the rezoning or reguiding of this property would adversely impact the surrounding neighborhood. She explained when she purchased her home in the 1990’s she understood North Heights would be located on this corner with a great deal of greenspace. She discussed how the events at the church has evolved over time. She stated since Highway 10 was redone, she can no longer open her windows because of the traffic noise. She feared that the proposed senior housing complex compound the noise concerns. She made the Planning Commission aware of the fact there was a petition going around from the neighbors stating they did not support the project. Ryan Jenner, 1555 McClung, stated he lived across the corner from the park. He thanked the Commissioners for their comments on this project. He encouraged the Commission to really hear ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 7 the voices of those that would be directly impacted by this project. He discussed how his roads were crumbling and the paths to the parks were failing. He feared how his neighborhood would be impacted if the density were suddenly tripled. He agreed the property had access issues and recommended the amendments not move forward at this time. Roger Fink, Trident Development representative, thanked the Commission and public for sharing their comments. He reported Trident Development has always prided itself on fitting in with the community and for bringing a product to the community that was needed. He stated the comments that were raised this evening were no different from the concerns that were raised at the community meeting. He explained these concerns would be taken into account when plans are drawn up. He indicated he was proposing a 124 unit three story pitched roof building with underground parking. He understood there has been a strong resistance from the neighborhood and Planning Commission to the proposed use. He commented it was critical that he has support for the use before he moves forward and creates final project plans. He stated he wants to be a good neighbor, however, if this project was not well received, he would rather look for another location to bring this product to the community. Commissioner Weber thanked Mr. Fink for being straight forward and for hearing the concerns of the neighbors. Chair Vijums thanked Mr. Fink for sharing his comments with the Commission. He believed Trident Development was a great development company, but he was of the opinion the proposed project would not fit on this corner. John Olfield, North Heights Lutheran Church, stated the decision to sell this land was not only financial. He explained there was a need for senior housing and as the population of Arden Hills continues to age, these residents would like to remain within the community. There being no additional comment Chair Vijums closed the public hearing at 7:47 p.m. Commissioner Mitchell questioned what portion of land was being proposed to be re-guided. City Planner Jagoe reviewed the portion of land that was being proposed under the amendment was the northwest corner of the site from Public and Institutional to High Density Residential. The church 30+ acres would stay under the current land use designation. Commissioner Wicklund discussed the concerns that were voiced by the Commission and neighbors. He stated it was his opinion that adding 124 units on this corner doesn’t significantly add to the current sound issues that were being generated by Highway 10. Also, he believed putting high density housing was fitting for this site because it was adjacent to Highway 10 and County Road 96. Commissioner Weber indicated he would not support the request due to the harm it would cause to the existing neighborhood both with sound and traffic. Commissioner Collins stated he would be supporting denial of the request. Commissioner Blilie explained she would also be recommending denial of the request. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 8 Commissioner Mitchell stated she would support denial of the request as well due to the noise concerns. She reported she also had concerns with how this development would impact traffic, especially given the fact this area already had traffic concerns. Commissioner Weber indicated a sound wall was 10+ years out for this portion of roadway. Commissioner Wicklund commented he looked differently at this project. He understood the Planning Commission did not support high density on this corner property but noted he would be voting differently for this project. He reported the issue before the Commission was a reguiding for this property to high density. He stated solving the traffic concerns would be addressed down the road if and when a proposal comes before the City for this property. Commissioner Weber stated he did not believe the Commission was saying we don’t ever want high density on this corner, but rather the Commission was saying right now, this project does not fit the character of the neighborhood. Chair Vijums moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to recommend denial of Planning Case 22-009 for a Future Land Use Map and Chapter 6 Text Amendments to the 2040 Comprehensive Plan at 1700 Highway 96 West based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans in the June 8, 2022, report to the Planning Commission, noting the Commission had concerns with traffic, access, noise, neighborhood character, and the potential for additional high density units in this neighborhood. The motion carried 5-1 (Commissioner Wicklund opposed). C. Planning Case 22-011; City of Arden Hills – Zoning Code Amendments – Chapter 13, Special Regulations for Drive-Up Windows and Drive Lanes – Public Hearing City Planner Jagoe stated at their April 18th work session, the City Council discussed possible topics that could be considered for holding a Joint Meeting with the Planning Commission. Reviewing potential topics in advance would allow planning staff an opportunity to research content and flexibility for scheduling the joint meeting at a later date based on planning case submissions. From this discussion, the Council decided that fences, drive-thru commercial districts, and home occupation deliveries would be worked on by staff. Topics for a future joint meeting would be signage and infill items. City Planner Jagoe explained staff was directed to bring forward the proposed ordinance to the Planning Commission for the first review and to hold a public hearing. Following the public hearing, the draft ordinance language with recommendation of the Planning Commission would be brought to the City Council for subsequent discussion and adoption. City Planner Jagoe commented on the Overview of the Ordinance Amendments and provided the Findings of Fact for review: 1. The City of Arden Hills is proposing to amend ordinance language to allow the City Council to add conditions of approval for uses with drive-up windows and drive lanes through a Planned Unit Development.

The City Code includes PUD regulations that allow for a higher quality and compatible development of property by encouraging reasonable flexibility from applicable standards, including at higher densities than would be allowed under the underlying zoning district and/or guided land use designation. The City has utilized PUDs and PUD Overlays for many residential and commercial developments, which is a trend that is likely to continue into the future given the limited size and amount of land available for new development and potential redevelopment east of Interstate 35W, south of County State Aid Highway 96, west of US Trunk Highway 10 Snelling Avenue North and north of interstate 694.

The proposed amendments would change the future land use designation in the northwest corner of 1700 Highway 96 West (“Subject Property”) from P/I, Public and Institutional to be guided as HDR, High Density Residential as well as modify existing language in Section 6.4.10 to include the entire Subject Property to allow an increase in the maximum density through the use of a Planned Unit Development. Approval of a Comprehensive Plan Amendment requires an affirmative vote of four councilmembers. Background At their February 22, 2022 meeting, the City Council reviewed a concept plan from Trident Development for the development of the northwest corner of the North Heights Lutheran Church property at 1700 Highway 96 W. Trident Development was proposing a 115-125 unit senior apartment development (apartments only, the proposed will not have an assisted living or memory care component). The Applicant indicated their intention would be to subdivide and purchase approximately 10.27 acres in the northwest corner of the Subject Property. Page 2 of 3 For a residential project to be feasible on the site, Trident would need to amend the Comprehensive Plan. This Planning Case is only focused on the Comprehensive Plan Amendments and a proposed project for this property would come forward at a future meeting for review. At this stage, the City is being asked to amend the vision for future growth and development for this property. The Comprehensive Plan is the planning tool that guides the future development of land irrespective of a specific project. Findings of Fact The City Council 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. At their June 8, 2022 meeting, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted to recommend denial of Planning Case 22-009. The Planning Commission had concerns with traffic, access, noise, neighborhood character, and the potential for additional high density units in this neighborhood. The Planning Commission was presented with the following findings of fact for City Council consideration: 1. The Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan designates the future land use for the Subject Property as P/I, Public and Institutional. 2. The Applicant has requested a Comprehensive Plan Map Amendment to change the future land use designation of approximately 10.75 acres in the northwest corner of the Subject Property to HDR, High Density Residential. 3. The 30 +/- acres of developed land on the Subject Property would remain guided as P/I, Public and Institutional. 4. The Applicant has requested a Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment to modify the boundaries described in existing language of Chapter 6 to include the Subject Property. 5. The proposed text amendment incorporates a defined area of land west of Snelling Avenue North to existing Comprehensive Plan language that allows an increase in the maximum density as part of a Planned Unit Development. 6. The applicant represented the application is not anticipated to create a negative impact on the immediate area or the community as a whole. 7. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. 8. The Metropolitan Council has previously approved similar amendments adding language supporting increasing the densities above the maximum permitted in a specific land use district. 9. The proposed map and text amendments have been discussed with the Metropolitan Council. Page 3 of 3 Options and Motion Language The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their June 8, 2022, meeting. At that time, the Commission recommended denial of Planning Case 22-009 for two amendments to Chapter 6, Land Use of the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan by a 5-1 vote. The following are motion language options for the City Council to consider. 1.

Approval of a Variance requires an affirmative vote of three councilmembers. Background 1. Existing Site Conditions: 4073 Valentine Court, the Subject Property, is zoning R-1, Single Family Residential District. It is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The subject property is the site of a single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. All surrounding parcels are also zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses in the Lane Use Plan. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot. The current structure is located approximately 20 feet from the side yard property line and today’s minimum side yard setback on a corner lot is 40 feet. Page 2 of 7 2. Site Data 2040 Future Land Use Plan: LDR – Low Density Residential Existing Land Use: Single Family Dwelling Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 0.86 acres 3. Proposed Use The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required side yard setback of his single- family detached dwelling on the Subject Property from 40 feet to 7.82 feet for a proposed garage addition. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. According to the Applicant’s narrative submitted as a part of his application, the Subject Property includes unique circumstances due to its nontraditional shape. The front of the property includes one curved section and three straight sections that make it difficult for the Applicant to conform to current setback regulations. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was 10 feet when the property was built in 1953. The Applicant is requesting the proposed garage addition to allow for more storage space for his vehicles and additional space to store woodworking equipment. The proposed garage addition would meet applicable building codes and all other regulations in the R-1 District. The Applicant would not be able to construct the proposed garage addition without a variance. 4. History of the Planning Case The Applicant previously applied for a side yard setback variance to construct the proposed garage addition on March 25, 2021 (Planning Case 21-006). At their meeting on May 5, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted to recommend approval of Planning Case 21-006 with conditions to allow a side yard setback variance at the Subject Property. At their May 24, 2021 meeting, the City Council voted to deny Planning Case 21-006. 5. Approvals The City Council is being asked to determine if a variance request for flexibility on the side yard setback of a corner lot should be approved. The submitted sketches show the location of the proposed garage addition and the proposed driveway addition. The evaluation of the proposal should be based on the District Provisions in Section 1320 and the Requirements for a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4. Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. District Provisions (R-1, Single Family Residential District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions Page 3 of 7 The Subject Property was constructed in 1953 with a lot area of 37,541 square feet (Attachment D). Section 1320 – District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit. Proposed Site Plan/Certificate of Survey Structure Setbacks In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. The minimum side yard setback on a corner lot is 40 feet. The current structure is located approximately 20 feet from the side yard property line. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was 10 feet when the property was built in 1953. The proposed garage addition would be setback 7.82 feet from the northwest side yard property line. According to the Applicant’s application, the proposed addition would be setback approximately 27 feet from the existing curb line. The proposed garage addition would conform to front and rear setback requirements. Landscaped Area In the R-1 District, the minimum landscaped area required without a variance is 65% of the property or 24,402 square feet. The Subject Property has an existing landscaped area of 35,281 square feet or 93.98%. The proposed addition would decrease the total landscaped area to 34,702 square feet, or 92.4% percent of the property. Structure Coverage The R-1 District allows for a maximum structure coverage of 25% or 9,385 square feet of the Subject Parcel. The existing structure coverage is 1,486 square feet or 4%. The proposed Page 4 of 7 addition would increase the total structure coverage by 339 square feet for a total of 1,825 square feet, or 4.9% of the Subject Property. Floor Area Ratio In the R-1 District, the maximum allowed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.3, or 11,262 square feet on the Subject Property. With the proposed garage addition, the FAR on the Subject Property would increase from 0.04 to 0.05. 2. Variance Review The role of the City Council is to determine and consider how the facts presented to them compare with the city’s articulated standards. The Council 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 City Council may feel their decision should reflect the overall will of the residents, the task in 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 City Council 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 front setback limit, any conditions attached should presumably relate to mitigating the effect of the encroachment. 3. Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 The Applicant requests a variance to construct a third stall addition to the side of their existing garage that would impede on the required side yard setback on a corner lot in the R-1 Residential District. The City Council will need to make a determination utilizing the following variance findings and criteria on whether there are practical difficulties with complying with the zoning regulations. If the applicants do not meet all the 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. 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 variance request for 4073 Valentine Court is for a proposed garage addition. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential 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. Page 5 of 7 According to the Applicant, a third car garage stall for a single family home is a reasonable use of the Subject Property in the R-1 Zoning District because the existing neighborhood includes multiple garage additions and has a variety of different garage and housing styles. 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, the Subject Property’s irregular shape creates a practical difficulty due to the curvature of the parcel’s front and side property lines. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was ten (10) feet when the property was built in 1953. According to the Applicant, other areas on the property were considered for a freestanding garage, but were ultimately not chosen because placements further from the property line would include removing 100+ year old oak trees. Adding behind the existing garage would involve significant drainage issues and would require major regrading under the drip line of some of the 100+ year old oak trees. c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. According to the Applicant, the existing neighborhood has homes with a variety of different garages and housing styles, and the proposed variance would not alter the character of the neighborhood. Garage have been added to the road side of existing homes in the neighborhood in the past. The topography and odd lot shapes make the neighborhood quite varied. The homes are not all the same distance from the road or each other. 3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. 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. Suggested Findings of Fact The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their June 8, 2022, meeting and have offered the following findings of fact for your consideration: Variance Findings: 1. The odd and unusual shape of the lot and topography are unique characteristics of the Subject Property, and those factors restrict alternative options for increased accessory storage. 2. There is limited ability to extend the existing driveway to a detached structure in another location, and single family residential properties are limited to one driveway access per property so a second driveway access would not be permitted off of Valentine Avenue. Page 6 of 7 3. The garage addition will not impede sight lines or obstruct the clear vision area from the roadways. 4. This is a legal nonconforming lot that was developed in 1953 at which time City Code allowed a 10 foot side yard setback. The scope or scale of the variance request is to locate the proposed garage at a 7.82 foot setback. Options and Motion Language The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their June 8, 2022, meeting. At that time, they recommended approval with conditions of Planning Case 22-008 to decrease the required side yard setback from 40 feet to 7.82 feet from the northwest side yard property line at 4073 Valentine Court by a 6-0 vote. The following are motion language options for the City Council to consider. • Approval with Conditions: Motion to adopt Resolution 2022-037, approving Planning Case 22-008, for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court as presented in the June 27, 2022 Report to the City Council as amended by the conditions below: 1. A Building Permit shall be issued prior to commencement of construction. 2. The proposed building shall conform to all other standards and regulations in the City Code. • Approval: Motion to adopt Resolution 2022-037, approving Planning Case 22-008, for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court as presented in the June 27, 2022, Report to the City Council. • Denial: Motion to deny Resolution 2022-037, approving Planning Case 22-008, for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court: findings to deny should specifically reference the reasons for denial. • Table: Motion to table Resolution 2022-037, approving Planning Case 22-008, for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court: the City Council should identify a specific reason and/or information request should be included with a motion to table. Public Notice and Comments 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 on June 16, 2022. A meeting notice for this planning case was published in the Pioneer Press on June 16, 2022. 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 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. Staff received seven comments supporting the application in advance of the Planning Commission meeting and two additional comments in support of the application as of June 22, 2022. Page 7 of 7 Deadline for Agency Actions The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on April 18, 2022. Pursuant to Minnesota State Statute, the City must act on this request by June 16, 2022 (60 days), unless the City provides the petitioner with written reasons for an additional 60-day review period. With consent of the Applicant, the City may extend the review period beyond the initial 120 days. The City provided the Applicant with written notification extending the review period to August 15, 2022 (120 days) based on the date of the submission for review by the Planning Commission and City Council during the June meeting cycle. The requestor confirmed receipt of this notification on April 29, 2022. Budget Impact N/A Attachments A. Land Use Application B. Location Map C. Variance Request Letter D. Site Survey E.

The Applicant has requested a variance to decrease the required side yard setback from 40 feet to 7.82 feet from the northwest side yard property line. Background 1. Existing Site Conditions 4073 Valentine Court, the Subject Property, is zoning R-1, Sing le Family Residential District. It is designated for Low Density Residential in the 2040 Comprehensive Land Use Plan. The subject property is the site of a single-family dwelling owned by the Applicant. All surrounding parcels are also zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and designated for Low Density Residential Uses in the Lane Use Plan. 2. Site Data 2040 Future Land Use Plan: LDR – Low Density Residential Existing Land Use: Single Family Dwelling Zoning: R-1, Single Family Residential District Lot Size: 0.86 acres 3. Proposed Use Page 2 of 7 The Applicant is requesting a variance to decrease the required side yard setback of his single- family detached dwelling on the Subject Property from 40 feet to 7.82 feet for a proposed garage addition. Section 1320.06 of the Arden Hills City Code requires a side yard setback of 40 feet on corner lots. According to the Applicant’s narrative submitted as a part of his application, the Subject Property includes unique circumstances due to its nontraditional shape. The front of the property includes one curved section and three straight sections that make it difficult for the Applicant to conform to current setback regu lations. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was 10 feet when the property was built in 1953. The Applicant is requesting the proposed garage addition to allow for more storage space for his vehicles and additional space to store woodworking equipment. The proposed garage addition would meet applicable building codes and all other regulations in the R-1 District. The Applicant would not be able to construct the proposed garage addition without a variance. 4. History of the Planning Case The Applicant previously applied for a side yard setback variance to construct the proposed garage addition on March 25, 2021 (Planning Case 21-006). At their meeting on May 5, 2021, the Planning Commission held a public hearing and voted to recommend approval of Planning Case 21-006 with conditions to allow a side yard setback variance at the Subject Property. At their May 24, 2021 meeting, the City Council voted to deny Planning Case 21-006. 5. Approvals The Planning Commission is being asked to determine if a variance request for flexibility on the side yard setback of a corner lot should be approved. The submitted sketches show the location of the proposed garage addition and the proposed driveway addit ion. The evaluation of the proposal should be based on the District Provisions in Section 1320 and the Requirements for a Variance in Section 1355.04, Subd. 4. Plan Evaluation Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review 1. District Provisions (R-1 Single Family Residential District) – Section 1320.06 Lot Size and Dimensions The Subject Property was constructed in 1953 with a lot area of 37,541 square feet (Attachment D). Section 1320 – District Provisions of the Zoning Code requires a minimum lot size of 14,000 square feet per single-family dwelling unit. Page 3 of 7 Structure Setbacks In the R-1 District, the minimum front and rear setback requirements are 40 feet and 30 feet, respectively. The minimum side yard setback on a corner lot is 40 feet . The current structure is located approximately 20 feet from the side yard property line. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was 10 feet when the property was built in 1953. The proposed garage addition would be setback 7.82 feet from the northwest side yard property line. According to the Applicant’s application, the proposed addition would be setback approximately 27 feet from the existing curb line. The proposed garage addition would conform to front and rear setback requirements. Landscaped Area In the R-1 District, t he minimum landscaped area required without a variance is 65% of the property or 24,402 square feet. The Subject Property has an existing landscaped area of 35,281 square feet or 93.98%. The proposed addition would decrease the total landscaped area to 34,702 square feet, or 92.4% percent of the property. Structure Coverage The R-1 District allows for a maximum structure coverage of 25% or 9,385 square feet of the Subject Parcel. The existing structure coverage is 1,486 square feet or 4%. The proposed addition would increase the total structure coverage by 339 square feet for a total of 1,825 square feet, or 4.9% of the Subject Property. Page 4 of 7 Floor Area Ratio In the R-1 District, the maximum allowed Floor Area Ratio (FAR) is 0.3, or 11,262 square feet on the Subject Property. With the proposed garage addition, the FAR on the Subject Property would increase from 0.04 to 0.05. 2. Variance Review 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 ord inances 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 in 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 grant ing 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 front setback limit, any conditions attached should presumably relate to mitigating the effect of the encroachment. 3. Variance Requirements – Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 The Applicant requests a variance to construct a third stall addition to the side of their existing garage that would impede on the required side yard setback on a corner lot in the R-1 Residential District. The Planning Commission will need to make a determination utilizing the following variance findings and criteria on whether there are practical difficulties with complying with the zoning regulations. If the Applicant does not meet all the factors of the statutory test, then a variance should not be granted. Varia nces are only permitted when they are in harmony with the general purposes and intent of the ordinance. 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 variance request for 4073 Valentine Court is for a proposed garage addition. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential 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. Page 5 of 7 According to the Applicant, a third car garage stall for a single family home is a reasonable use of the Subject Property in the R-1 Zoning District because the existing neighborhood includes multiple garage additions and has a variety of different garage and housing styles. 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, the Subject Property’s irregular shape creates a practical difficulty due to the curvature of the parcel’s front and side property lines. The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was ten (10) feet when the property was built in 1953. According to the Applicant, other areas on the property were considered for a freestanding garage, but were ultimately not chosen because placements further from the property line would include removing 100+ year old oak trees. Adding behind the existing garage would involve significant drainage issues and would require major regrading under the drip line of some of the 100+ year old oak trees. c. Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. According to the Applicant, the existing neighborhood has homes with a variety of different garages and housing styles, and the proposed variance would not alter the character of the neighborhood. Garage have been added to the road side of existing homes in the neighborhood in the past. The topography and odd lot shapes make the neighborhood quite varied. The homes are not all the same distance from the road or each other. 3. Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. 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. The Planning Commission members should state their rationale prior to the vote on the requested variance. A recommended motion by the Planning Commission should include the direction that Staff and the City Attorney prepare proposed findings of fact for City Council consideration. Page 6 of 7 Options and Motion Language Staff has provided the following options and motion language for this case. The Planning Commission should consider providing additional findings of fact as part of the motion to support their recommendation for approval or denial. • Recommend Approval with Conditions: Motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 22-008 for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions below: 1.

The motion carried unanimously (6-0). PLANNING CASES A. Planning Case 22-008; 4073 Valentine Court - Variance – Public Hearing Not Required City Planner Jagoe stated Robert Kunze (“Applicant”) has requested a variance to construct a garage addition on the property located at 4073 Valentine Court (“Subject Property”). The Applicant has requested a variance to decrease the required side yard setback from 40 feet to 7.82 feet from the northwest side yard property line. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 2 City Planner Jagoe reviewed the surrounding area, Site Data, and the Plan Evaluation. It was noted 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. The Planning Commission members should state their rationale prior to the vote on the requested variance. A recommended motion by the Planning Commission should include the direction that Staff and the City Attorney prepare proposed findings of fact for City Council consideration. City Planner Jagoe reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Vijums opened the floor to Commissioner comments. Commissioner Mitchell explained she was struggling with this request. She noted she was uncomfortable with how small the setback would become. However, after visiting the site, she understood this was a narrow corner lot and she would be offering her support for the variance request. Commissioner Weber indicated this was the second time this applicant has requested a variance from the Commission. He stated he supported the first request and he supports this request as well. He noted the City had a great deal of right-of-way on this lot and no intention of using it. He believed the plans before the Commission were the best use of the property. Commissioner Collins questioned how this request differed from the first time the variance request came before the Planning Commission. City Planner Jagoe explained this was the same as the variance request that was reviewed in 2021. Chair Vijums indicated he reviewed this request a year ago, and he supported the variance at that time. He discussed what the setbacks were when the home was built and noted the variance would be less than three feet. He asked if the addition siding would match the existing home. City Planner Jagoe reported it was her understanding the addition would have consistent building materials with what was already on the home. Robert Kunze, 4073 Valentine Court, explained the home was resided in the last five years. He indicated the siding and roofing materials were still readily available. Chair Vijums moved and Commissioner Weber seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 22-008 for a Variance at 4073 Valentine Court directing staff and the City Attorney to prepare proposed findings of fact based on the following: ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION – June 8, 2022 3 1. The odd and unusual shape of the lot and topography are unique characteristics of the Subject Property, and those factors restrict alternative options for increased accessory storage. 2. There is limited ability to extend the existing driveway to a detached structure in another location, and single family residential properties are limited to one driveway access per property so a second driveway access would not be permitted off of Valentine Avenue. 3. The garage addition will not impede sight lines or obstruct the clear vision area from the roadways. 4. This is a legal nonconforming lot that was developed in 1953 at which time City Code allowed a 10 foot side yard setback. The scope or scale of the variance request is to locate the proposed garage at a 7.82 foot setback. and based on the submitted plans, as amended by the two (2) conditions in the June 8, 2022, report to the Planning Commission. The motion carried unanimously (6-0). B. Planning Case 22-009; 1700 Highway 96 W – Comprehensive Plan Amendment – Public Hearing City Planner Jagoe stated Trident Development has submitted an application for two amendments to Chapter 6, Land Use of the Arden Hills 2040 Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendments would change the future land use designation in the northwest corner of 1700 Highway 96 West (“Subject Property”) from P/I, Public and Institutional to be guided as HDR, High Density Residential as well as modify existing language in Section 6.4.10 to include the entire Subject Property to allow an increase in the maximum density through the use of a Planned Unit Development. City Planner Jagoe reported Minnesota state law requires that all communities within the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area update their Comprehensive Plans every ten years. The purpose of the Comprehensive Plan is to establish the policies that guide the future physical and community development of Arden Hills. It is also a reference document for the Planning Commission and City Council when evaluating private development projects. City Planner Jagoe explained based on the future land uses, the City can plan for improvements, anticipate infrastructure needs, and create appropriate land use regulations. The City’s Zoning Code identifies specific zoning districts through which the land uses and goals in the Comprehensive Plan can be implemented. The zoning cannot conflict with the future land use designation. When there is a conflict between the Comprehensive Plan and the Zoning Code, the City is required to amend the Zoning Code to comply with the Comprehensive Plan. City Planner Jagoe stated the Comprehensive Plan and all its amendments must reflect the adopted regional policies in the Metropolitan Council’s system and policy plans. Local planning efforts are linked to the larger regional infrastructure of parks and trails, road networks, and wastewater infrastructure, and the City’s plan must conform to the regional vision. An amendment to the Comprehensive Plan requires a recommendation from the Planning Commission following a public hearing, and adoption of a resolution by the City Council. Adjacent communities must be given up to 60 days to review and comment on the proposed amendment before it can be reviewed and approved by the Metropolitan Council. The Metropolitan Council has the final determination as to whether to allow a CPA or not, though 1 222161v1 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. 2022-037 RESOLUTION APPROVING A VARIANCE FOR THE SUBJECT PROPERTY 4073 VALENTINE COURT (Planning Case 22-008) WHEREAS, on April 18, 2022, Robert J.

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 variance request for 4073 Valentine Court is for a proposed garage addition. The Subject Property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residential District and is guided as Low Density Residential on the Land Use Plan. 13 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Reasonable Use. The property owner proposes to use the property in a reasonable manner not permitted by the Zoning Ordinance. •According to the Applicant, a third car garage stall for a single family home is a reasonable use of the Subject Property in the R-1 Zoning District because the existing neighborhood includes multiple garage additions and has a variety of different garage and housing styles. 14 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 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, the Subject Property’s irregular shape creates a practical difficulty due to the curvature of the parcel’s front and side property lines. •The Subject Property is a legal non-conforming lot, as the required side yard setback for corner lots was ten (10) feet when the property was built in 1953. •Other areas on the property were considered for a freestanding garage, but were ultimately not chosen because placements further from the property line would include removing 100+ year old oak trees. •Adding behind the existing garage would involve significant drainage issues and would require major regrading under the drip line of some of the 100+ year old oak trees. 15 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Character of Neighborhood. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the neighborhood. •According to the Applicant, the existing neighborhood has homes with a variety of different garages and housing styles, and the proposed variance would not alter the character of the neighborhood. Garage have been added to the road side of existing homes in the neighborhood in the past. •The topography and odd lot shapes make the neighborhood quite varied. The homes are not all the same distance from the road or each other. 16 Plan Evaluation Variance Requirements –Section 1355.04, Subd. 4 Economic Consideration. Economic consideration alone does not constitute a practical difficulty. •The proposed variance is not based on economic consideration. 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. 17 Findings of Fact –Variance Findings 1.The odd and unusual shape of the lot and topography are unique characteristics of the Subject Property, and those factors restrict alternative options for increased accessory storage. 2.There is limited ability to extend the existing driveway to a detached structure in another location, and single family residential properties are limited to one driveway access per property so a second driveway access would not be permitted off of Valentine Avenue. 3.The garage addition will not impede sight lines or obstruct the clear vision area from the roadways. 4.This is a legal nonconforming lot that was developed in 1953 at which time City Code allowed a 10 foot side yard setback. The scope or scale of the variance request is to locate the proposed garage at a 7.82 foot setback. 18 Public Notices •Notice was published in the Pioneer Press on June 16, 2022. Notice was prepared by the City and mailed to property owners within 500 feet of the subject property. •Staff has received seven comments in advance of the Planning Commission meeting and two additional comments in support of the application as of June 22, 2022. 19 Deadline for Agency Action •The City of Arden Hills received the completed application for this request on April 18, 2022.
