WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council made the following findings: 1. The location of the house on the property creates practical difficulty and is a hardship. 2. Because of the nonconforming status of the structure, any addition(s) which would expand the exterior dimensions of the structure would not be allowed. This presents practical difficulty in upgrading and improving the existing residential property. The addition will provide additional living space on the first floor (family room and bathroom) and an open deck accessed from the second floor. The exterior of the addition will be stucco to match the existing dwelling. The proposed addition will not change the drainage pattern on the property, nor will it divert on to adjacent properties. 3. This corner lot exceeds all other standards within the Zoning Code for a residential lot in an R-1 zoning district. 4. The proposed 18 x 21' addition to the house on this property will be on the west side of the house and will not encroach into established building lines along either Burke Avenue W (north side of house) or Hamline Avenue W (east side of house). 5. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 6. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council (the "Council") of the City of Roseville, Minnesota (the "City"), Ramsey County, Minnesota, that a variance to reduce the front yard setback along Burke Avenue W to 11 feet for the purpose of constructing an addition to a nonconforming single family residential structure at 2125 Hamline Avenue N be approved subject to the following conditions: 1. The driveways on the property must be hard surfaced by October 1997. The width of the curbcut on Burke Avenue W must be narrowed to 12 feet, with a maximum width of ten feet at the property line. The west driveway shall be no more than ten feet in width. 2. A board on board screening fence must be installed along the western edge of the property by October 1997, in accordance with the plan submitted by the applicant and approved by the City Council. 3. Planting must be placed along the western edge of the property and along Burke Avenue W by October 1997, in accordance with the planting plan submitted by the applicant and approved by the City Council.
