qASPAL+E <br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />DATE: 4/18/2011 <br />ITEM NO. 7.f. <br />Department Approval: City Manager Approval: <br />Item Description: Annual Variance Board Appointments <br />1 1.0 BACKGROUND: <br />2 1.1 Pursuant to Chapter 1014.04 (Board of Zoning Adjustments and Appeals) of the Roseville City <br />3 Code, the City Council annually nominates three members of the Planning Commission to serve <br />4 as the Roseville Variance Board. While "nominates" typically means "selects," experience has <br />5 shown that the more practical course is for Planning Commissioners to volunteer if they are <br />6 willing and available to serve on the Variance Board, and for the City Council to ratify the self - <br />7 selected Commissioners. <br />8 1.2 On April 6, 2011, Planning Commissioners John Gisselquist, Michael Boguszewski, Peter <br />9 Stohmeier, and Jeff Lester each volunteered to serve as members of the Variance Board. Since <br />10 last year's ruling by the courts regarding the strict interpretation of reasonable use, variance <br />11 applications have all but stopped throughout the State. <br />12 2.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br />13 Planning Division staff recommends that the Roseville City Council ratify Planning <br />14 Commissioners John Gisselquist, Michael Boguszewski, Peter Stohmeier, and Jeff Lester as the <br />15 Variance Board serving from May 4, 2011 to April 5, 2012. <br />16 3.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br />17 By motion, ratify the selection of Roseville Planning Commissioners John Gisselquist, Michael <br />18 Boguszewski, Peter Stohmeier, and Jeff Lester as the Planning Commission members appointed <br />19 to serve as the Variance Board from May 4, 2011 to April 5, 2012. <br />Prepared by: City Planner Thomas Paschke <br />Revised 4/15 at 2:00 p.m. <br />VB Appointments_RCA_041111 <br />Page 1 of 1 <br />
