� • l�� � � Dear Mr. and Mrs. Jacobus, I briefly discussed your rain garden plan with the City Engineer. Because part of the intent of the storm water mitigation requirement is to prevent rain water runoff generated by excess impervious coverage from over-burdening the City's storm sewer infrastructure, I learned that your proposal to utilize the existing storm drain as part of the rain garden will not be acceptable. Nevertheless, we can proceed with your application, and a revised rain garden plan may be submitted prior to the approval of your Administrative Deviation. When I calculated the impervious coverage on your survey, I found that your proposal exceeds the permitted 30% by 500 square feet instead of the 400 square feet you reported; if you feel that I've reached the wrong total, please show me your calculations. In the Administrative Deviation application materials you'll find some information about the Ramsey Conservation District (RCD); they have staff available to provide the free service of designing rain gardens. To ensure that your rain garden will adequately accommodate the runoff from 500 square feet of impervious surface area without utilizing the storm drain, you might consider contacting RCD for additional help. Your neighbors at 2061 and 2064 Chatsworth Court, 944 Parker Avenue, and 1019, 1023, and 1027 Shryer Avenue will receive a copy of the letter below notifying them of your plans to increase the impervious coverage on your property beyond the standard limit of the City Code, and inviting them to participate in the public process of commenting on your proposal. In case you haven't already spoken with these neighbors about your plans, we encourage applicants to do so. If we receive letters, phone calls, or emails from each of these households in support of your proposal, the required 10-day appeal period following the decision of the Community Development Director will be eliminated; if the Administrative Deviation is approved, the building inspector may then issue the necessary driveway permit as soon as it has been approved. You are encouraged to attend the hearing, but it is not required. You are invited to attend and participate in an Administrative Deviation hearing on Thursday, September 3, 2009 at 3:00 p.m. in the Roseville City Hall Hawthorne Room — in the lower level, adjacent to the Engineering Department. Dan and Denise Jacobus, owners of 2060 Chatsworth Court, seek approval of a deviation from the maximum impervious coverage (i.e., building footprints and driveways) on a residential property to accommodate the proposed plans for the new home and driveway. The Administrative Deviation process allows nearby property owners to comment on the proposal in writing and/or at the meeting. Should you have any comments or questions about this application, please feel free to email me at br a�vd(�a,ci.roseville.mn.us or call me at 651-792- 7073 or attend the administrative hearing on Thursday, September 3rd at 3:00 p.m. Enclosed for your information is a copy of the proposed site plan. If the Administrative Deviation request is approved, the building permit can be issued ten (10) days after the decision unless an appeal is filed before then.
