.. Set Back Permit Application Supplementary Information 1675 Ridgewood Ln. S. Roseville, MN Satisfaction of Criteria for Approval � The proposed addition of a shed in the backyard will satisfy each of the followinQ criteria: � b. The project improves the livability of the structure. By adding a shed, it will allow us to move equipment and supplies out of the 2 car garage. By removing our lawn, snow and garden material/tools, bicycles, shelving units etc. to the shed, it will free up space in the already cramped gara�e that will not only allow for easier access to automobiles, but will allow us to prepare space for children's equipment (baby is due May gtn) c. The proposed structure improves the terrain or a drainaQe issue. This back corner of our lot is currently, at least in part, not landscaped nor does it have lawn, so the addition of shed over this partially unimproved area on our lot will improve the terrain. e. The existina improvements alona with the proposed improvements retain a minimum of 70% of the previous surface and �reen space of the lot. The lot is 90' X 127' for a total of 11430 square feet. The house footprint is approximately 65' wide by 35' deep for a total footprint of 2275 square feet, or roughly 19.9% of the surface area of the lot. The addition of 100 square feet of shed takes the total to 2375, which is roughly 20.8% of the total lot size, well below the 30% allowed. i Tiie �iat�oseu Uraieci creaies ria oiher setback ui• variaticc condiii�i�s. i was i�iu �bV t11C city of Roseville Zoning department that the addition of a shed would present no zonin�/pla�uiing or variance conditions, unless, as here, I applied for a set back permit. �. The proposed project improves the aesthetics, covered storaae, or function use of the site. Very clearly, a shed adds to the covered storaQe of the site, satisfying this test. h. The proposed project uses the same exterior structure materials and colors as the principal structure and accessories. The house is brick with siding, the shed would be made of wood with wood sidin�, and the color will fit within the overall color scheme of the entire property. i. The final building mass is consistent with that on conti�uous properties. Our nei�hbor, directly to the east, has a shed in the NW corner of his lot that is of equal or larger size than our 10 X 10 proposed shed. All of the homes in the entire subdivision were built at around the same time (1950's), are substantially similar in size and building mass, and many of them have detached sheds.
