4.0 HISTORY: 4.1 In April 2002, John & Julie Huppertz and their architect, Steve Rengel, met with the Development Review Committee (DRC) to review certain improvements anticipated for the Huppertz home and to seek acceptance of their project in the Rambler Redesign Program The DRC supported the proposal and advised John & Julie to refine their plans and submit them to the City Planner for review and comment. 4.2 In May 2002, while reviewing the proposal with Mr. Rengel, the City Planner determined that a Setback Permit and Variance were necessary to proceed with the proposed improvements to the Huppertz home. Specifically, a Setback Permit was necessary to allow for a six foot front yard setback encroachment for the proposed entry porch and for a two foot side yard encroachment for the proposed new attached garage (currently detached in the rear yard). On May 30, 2002, the DRC recommended approval and the Community Development Director approved the two encroachments allowed under the Setback Permit Process (approval letter attached). 5.0 VARIANCE REQUEST BACKGROUND: 5.1 Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords each residential property owner a 30% impervious coverage based upon the total lot size. In the case of the Huppertz property this allowance cannot exceed 3,207 square feet without an approved variance. 5.2 The Huppertz home is a 1950's rambler situated on a 10,694 square foot lot. The home has a footprint of 1,232 square feet (44 feet by 28 feet) and the Huppertz also have a detached two stall garage (in rear yard) 480 square feet in size (24 feet by 20 feet) that lies 71 feet from Churchill Street. Given these current site conditions the Huppertz lot has a current impervious coverage of 30%. 5.3 The Setback Permit approvals granted by the DRC and Community Development Director are premised on the approval of a variance to exceed the lot coverage requirement. Specifically, home improvements include the removal of the existing detached garage and construction of an attached garage closer to Churchill Street; the addition of a mud room and bathroom into a portion of the garage addition area; a 32 foot by 27 foot family room and kitchen remodel/addition; new sidewalk to the front entry porch; and an in-ground pool in the rear yard. 5.4 The proposed home improvements (less pool) create a total impervious coverage of 3,881 square feet or 36%. The proposed pool creates an additional impervious coverage of 448 square feet of a total impervious coverage for the parcel of 4,329 square feet or 40%. PF3408 -RCA 072902 -Page 2 of 5
