4. o VARIANCE REQUEST BACKGROUND: <br />4.1 Section 1 004.01 A6 of the Roseville i ty Code (Maximum Total Surface Area) affords <br />each residential property owner up to 30% impervious coverage on a lot/parcel, based <br />upon the total lot size. In the case of the Voermans property this allowance cannot <br />exceed 3,240 square feet without an approved variance. <br />4.2 The Voerrnans home was constructed in 1953 and is situated on a 10,800 square foot <br />parcel. The home has a footprint of 1,196 square feet; a detached garage of 704 square <br />feet; patio, porch, and sidewalk of 395 square feet; and a driveway of 914 square feet. <br />This gives the voerrnans property an existing coverage of 3,209 square feet or 29.7%. <br />4.3 The proposed 8 foot by 36 foot hone addition (289 sq. ft.) would be constructed on to the <br />west side of the horne to expand the existing bedroom and kitchen, and bathroom, and <br />create a small mud room at the rear entry. The proposal also includes additional <br />sidewalk, paving under the porch (attached to garage) and a new front and rear stoop <br />(246 sq. ft.). <br />4.4 The proposed improvements increase the parcels impervious coverage from 3,209 square <br />feet (29.7%) to 3,743 square feet (35%), thus requiring a variance of 503 square feet (the <br />difference form allowed 3,240 to proposed 3,743). <br />4.5 In 1998 ( Jan 1, 1 999 ) the City of Roseville amended Section 1 004 of the City <br />Code to include a maxirnuin lot coverage limit of 30% r f `or all single and two family <br />residential properties. This code modification was a direct result of changes in State Law <br />pertaining to storm water rate and quality control. <br />4.6 variance Conditions Proposed; <br />SECTION 1004,01A6 <br />Code Requirement <br />Existing <br />Proposed <br />variance <br />(lot covers <br />Condition <br />Condition <br />Requested <br />30% <br />29.7% <br />35% <br />5% <br />3,240 s. ft. <br />3,209 , ft. <br />3,743 sq. ft. <br />503 sq. ft. <br />5.0 S'T'AFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: <br />5.1 The voermans parcel has limited options when considering added imperious coverage. <br />Specifically, the parcel has a remaining 32 square feet of allowable coverage before the <br />parcel achieves the maximum (30 %) and a variance is necessary. This minimal amount <br />will not afford the voerrnans the size necessary to expand, making their home and site <br />more livable. ; <br />PF3462 — RCA 042803 - Page 2 of 5 <br />
