City� of � 1�1i �� Minnesota, USA Community Development Department ph:651-792-7005 ♦ fax:651-792-7070 25 April 2006 RE: Request for a Front Yard Setback Permit (Section 1013.05 of Roseville City Code) Dear Roland and Brenda Wells, On Tuesday, April 25`h, 2006, the Roseville Development Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of a FRONT YARD SETBACK PERMIT to extend the garage to a point approximately 25 feet from the front property line. Comments Regarding Issues at Hand: The only written or verbal correspondence from the immediate neighbors was a phone call in support of The Wells' proposal. Development Review Committee Recommendation: The Setback Permit Review Committee (Dean Findell, Don Munson, Bryan Lloyd, and Jamie Radel) found that the proposal does meet more than eight of the twelve applicable criteria for approving a Setback Permit as listed in Section 1013.05 of the City Code, and therefore the DRC recommended issuance of the Permit. Two conditions for the approval were raised at the hearing: 1) the City would like a list of the exterior structure materials and colors to ensure that they are consistent with the materials on the existing structure; and 2) roof gutters and downspouts are to be installed on the new roofline to drain water toward South Owasso Boulevard rather than toward the neighboring property to the east. Additionally, because the proposed addition is near to the south (front) and east lot lines, the DRC requests that the location of these two property lines be verified either by exposing the irons or by obtaining an official survey. Finally, the Permits Coordinator in attendance at the meeting noted that the new parting wall between the garage and the new living area created by the addition will require a footing to protect the living area from damage caused by the heaving of the garage floor during the winter months. Community Development Director Decision: I concur with the recommendations of the DRC to issue the Setback Permit, and, as allowed for in Section 1013.05 of the City Code, make all of the DRC recommendations a condition of approval of the Setback Permit and the Building Permit. After the(ten-day) appeal process has expired at NOON on Friday, May 5`�' (or upon receiving a statement of support from the neighbor to the east) and assuming no written appeal has been received by the City Manager, a building permit may be issued pursuant to approval of the building plans by the Building Ofiicials. If an official appeal is properly registered, it will be heard by the Variance Board at the Board meeting of June 7`h, 2006, beginning at S:OOpm. Should you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call me at 651-792-7071.
