•. • , the front of the garage 27 �t from the front property line, I wish to voice my opposition as I stated in #3 above. I hope this helps. Please let me know if I can provide you with anything else. Thank you once again for providing the additional information I requested. 7ohn Elholm (Rick's neighbor to the north) 2466 Chatsworth Street H: (651) 481-7987 W: (651) 430-4303 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bryan Lloyd" <bryan.11oyd@ci.roseville.mn.us> To: "jdelholm@comcast.net" <jdelholm�lcomcast.net> Sent: Wednesday, ]anuary 6, 2010 9:34:19 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: RE: Property at 2458 Chatsworth Street Thanks for your comments, Mr. Elholm. With respect to your drainage concerns around the side of Mr. Bell's expanded garage: as a zoning-type, I can't tell you much about the technical considerations given to slopes, soils, and drainage, but all plans like this will be reviewed by engineering staff to ensure that drainage is addressed to meet the City's normal standards. We can offer flexibility on the setbacks, but not on the amount of rain water runoff allowed to pass from one property to another. As to the setback from the front property line, you mentioned something about the average setback of the neighboring properties. That's a provision that applies more when somebody proposes to build a new home on a vacant lot between two developed parcels than when additions are being considered decades after the house was built. There's another odd provision in the Code that allows an attached garage to extend beyond the standard 30-foot front yard setback (to 27 feet from the front property line) if there's no living area above the garage. So this present application falls somewhere between the two front setback requirements above, and during our review meeting on Thursday we'll have to sort out exactly how those requirements apply. On one hand, the proposed 27-foot garage setback might be permitted and not require special approval, and on the other hand, special approval through this administrative deviation process might be necessary. In either case, we'll certainly be taking your comments and concerns seriously as we consider Mr. Bell's request. One of the final things that we have to bear in mind in a case like this, however, is the fact that the existing garage is about 12 feet behind the front of the house at its southern
