same degree, much of the proposed addition will be below grade and therefore be somewhat less obtrusive than if it were built at grade. The Planning Division has determined that the allowance of the requested VARIANCE will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare of the city or adjacent properties. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 6.1 Based on the comments and findings outlined in Section 5 of this report, the Planning Division recommends approval of Ms. Maylone's request for a VARIANCE to § 1004 (Residential Districts) of the City Code to allow the construction of the proposed residential addition, subject to the following conditions: The proposed addition must not extend toward the front property line more than 22 feet from the existing building line. [Because the front property line and front setback line both curve with the street, measuring 22 feet from the front of the existing structure will be simpler than measuring 18.7 feet from a curved setback line or even measuring 11 feet from a curved property line.] b The variance shall expire within 6 months of the approval date if a building permit is not issued far the respective site pursuant to § 1013.03 of the City Code. 7.0 SUGGESTED ACTION: 7.1 ADOPT VARIANCE BOARD RESOLUTION 49 APPROVING A VARIANCE to Section 1004.O1E (Pre-Existing Setbacks) to allow the construction of an attached garage at 699 Belmont Lane in a location 11 feet from the front property line, which is 18.7 feet closer to the property line than Code permits, based on the comments and findings of Section 5 and the conditions of Section 6 of the project report dated December 6 2006. 8.0 NEXT STEPS: 8.1 The decision of the Variance Board is final unless an appeal is filed. The appeal period remains open for 10 days from the date of the decision, and an appeal may be made either by the applicant or by another Roseville property owner. 8.2 An appeal must be submitted in writing to the City Manager by NOON on December 18`", 2006 for a hearing before the City Council on Monday, January 8`h, 2007. 8.3 If no appeal is filed, a building permit may then be issued, and Community Development staff will mail the resolution approving the variance to Ramsey County for recording against the subject property.
