Jim Doherty, Variance Board and Planning Commissioner <br />Mr. Doherty addressed rationale for the Variance Board's denial and <br />previous discussions at the Planning Commission level, as noted by <br />Councilmember Pust, related to the unwillingness of the City to issue any <br />variances. Mr. Doherty reviewed traditional versus modern design homes <br />necessary for the lot; lack of depth for the driveway, creating sight line and <br />safety issues; and visibility along Dale Street and Court respectively. <br />No one else appeared to speak. <br />Councilmember Pust opined that this was a hardship created by the owner; <br />and apologized if some miscommunication occurred between staff or the <br />governing bodies; and sought additional time for a thorough review of the <br />Planning File and related minutes prior to taking action. <br />Mayor Klausing opined that he was not troubled by the request for a variance <br />and saw no impact to the neighborhood and sight lines; however, he <br />expressed concern that the hardship was of the applicant's creation. <br />City Attorney Langel advised that the City Council could table action for 60 <br />days to allow for additional research, as per ordinance provisions, for <br />consideration at their next regular meeting. <br />Councilmember Maschka opined that a home could be designed for the lot <br />without variances being issues; but noted that he was not opposed to holding <br />off on any action until the next regular meeting. <br />Councilmember Kough opined that he didn't see a hardship, since the <br />applicant subdivided the lot. <br />Mayor Klausing directed staff to provide meeting minutes and documents as <br />submitted from the original application for the subdivision prior to the next <br />Council meeting. <br />Klausing moved, Pust seconded, TABLING action related to consideration <br />of a Variance to § 1004.016, and in Accordance with § 1013.02 of the <br />Roseville City Code for Charles Weleczki, and the Vacant Parcel at Dale <br />Street and Dale Court (PF 3781); until the October 9, 2006 regular City <br />Council meeting. <br />Roll Call <br />Ayes: Maschka; Ihlan; Kough; Pust and Klausing. <br />Nays: None. <br />
