City Council Regular Meeting - 06/14/04 Minutes - Page 24 Bob Henry, 1485 Transit Avenue (south of proposed new Tract A) Mr. Henry spoke in opposition to Mr. Trudeau's request, noting the reasons listed by Mr. Trudeau, with the possible exception of economic issues, were not sufficient to justify the request, and he concurred with the Planning Commission's recommendation for denial. Mr. Henry noted that other neighbors, previously in attendance at tonight's meeting and also in opposition, had left the meeting due to the lateness of the hour and health concerns. Mayor Klausing closed the public comments at 10:25 p.m. Councilmember Maschka clarified square footage issues with staff. Councilmember Ihlan reiterated her concerns for overall planning and policy considerations with an apparent influx of proposals to subdivide property. Councilmember Ihlan reviewed her interest in preserving the character of neighborhoods with larger lots; and spoke in opposition to granting this variance request due to the inconsistency with surrounding homes. Councilmember Maschka recognized the applicant's desire regarding maintenance of the large lot; but opined his opposition to granting a variance for a lot less than 1100 square feet, given the nature of the neighborhood. Kough moved approval of a variance to Section 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code for a Minor Subdivision for property located at 2485 Pascal Street. The Chair ruled the motion failed for lack of a second. Maschka moved, Ihlan seconded, adoption of Resolution No. 10225 entitled, "A Resolution Denying a Variance to Section 1004.016 of the Roseville City Code; and Denial of a Minor Subdivision for Property located at 2485 Pascal Street (PF 3571);" based on the following findings: 1) No hardship can be concluded to necessitate the granting of a variance; 2) The proposed parcel design creates two substandard residential parcels;
