4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Jim Alexander owns the parcel at 920 Parker Avenue and desires to move the existing home and detached accessory building from the property and begin construction of a new home and attached garage in the same general location. Mr. Alexander is requesting approval of an IUP to create a temporary living quarters on the property that would remain until occupancy of the home is permitted. 4.2 The application to support this request indicates that the temporary living quarters would include a 30 foot self-contained camper that would rest near the existing utility pole (connecting to electric and cable) and the allowance of a storage unit (POD) adjacent to the camper. The temporary use would be in place until November/December 2006. 4.3 The Alexander property is zoned R-1, Single Family Residence District, with a Comprehensive Land Use Map designation of LD, low density Residential, which designations do support temporary uses. 4.4 Historically the City has worked with property owners on new construction projects where existing homes remain until the replacement home is completed enough to allow occupancy — then the original structure is demolished. The process to allow a temporary living quarters (camper) on the premises during construction of the principal structure occurs is not uncommon, but it has not been considered recently in Roseville. 4.5 The Community Development staff recalls working with the Roseville Mobile Home Park on similar instances - whereby motor homes would be parked temporarily in the parking area adjacent Lexington Avenue for periods of time. 4.6 Section 1012.09A states: The City Council may authorize an Interim Use Permit of property. Interim uses may not be consistent with the land uses designated on the adopted Land Use Plan. They may also fail to meet all of the zoning standards established for the district within which it is located. 4.7 Section 1012.09B states: The City Council may attach conditions to Interim Use Permits. In reviewing Interim use Permit applications, the City will establish a specific date or event that will terminate the use on the property. The Council will also determine that the approval of the interim use would not result in adverse effects on the public health, safety, and general welfare, and that it will not impose additional costs on the public if it is necessary for the public to take the property in the future. 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS: 5.1 The Alexander parcel is 3/4 of an acre - large enough to accommodate the temparary living quarters and the equipment necessary to construct the new home. The camper can be set back a minimum of 30 feet from the street, conveniently adjacent to utility pole, and will connect to the existing sanitary sewer or utilize a 200 gallon tank (pumped weekly) and watermain.
