� -� --. Bryan Lloyd Associate City Planner City of Roseville Roseville MN 55113 Bryan Lloyd Roseville Planning Commission Roseville City Council 10/21 /2007 Thank you for your consideration of our request for a lot-split and variance of our current Roseville residential property at 1754 Alta Vista Drive. I have been a Roseville resident since 1965 and have lived at this address with my wife Kimberly and our 2 children since 1984. I understand the City of Roseville Lot Code requirements have changed over the years and apparently a split of our residential property would create 2 non-conforming or substandard parcels. We are requesting a variance for multiple reasons: 1. Our property was surveyed in 1986 in anticipation of a lot-split and sale of the property in question that fronts the West side of Dale Street. The lot-split was � approved by the Roseville City Council but the split was never recorded and a decision was made not to sell the property at that time. I provided Bryan Lloyd with a copy of the 1986 survey and although I understand we cannot be grandfathered into this approval it would certainly be a reversul of the city's previous declaration to allow residential development on stretch of Dale Street. 2. Around this same time Ramsey County made road improvements to Dale Street including curb and gutter and Ramsey County honored my request for a`curb �, break' onto my property that fronts the West side of Dale Street in anticipation of ''� future residential development. The `curb break' still exists and except for one existing residence 3 lots to our north it was the first and only `curb break' approved at that time for this stretch of Dale Street. 1��3- ,3. In 1�9�"a 2nd lot-split was approved for my next door neighbor to the south. I do �� i not know if a variance was required but I agreed to an easement that allowed the ,1- b;.\� '. ; _-�� r�sidence on Da�e �tr��t te-a�s sewer and water from Alta V ista Drive C�"°�¢ � _ n`qq� along the south edge of my property. This easement, required by the City of ' Roseville included a pipe sufficient to provide utilities to both my lot that fronts Dale Street and the lot being split. This lot approved by the City would have been smaller than our proposed split as each lot to our south gets progressively shorter in length. 4. About that time a 3rd lot-split was approved, this one 2 lots to our north and a new I�`� /�q� single family residence was constructed. It was apparent the City of Roseville ' was in agreement to allow residential development along this stretch of Dale Street between Larpenteur Ave and Dale Court. 5. Most recently a 4th lot-split was approved for my next door neighbor to the north. I do know both a variance and an easement were required as a result of similar non-conforming or substandard lot size Code issues.
