j�� � 18 August 2006 Richard & Jeanne Podvin 698 Terrace Drive Roseville, MN 55113 RE: Side Yard Setback Permit approval for 698 Terrace Drive Dear Mr. and Mrs. Podvin, On Thursday, August 17t", 2006, the Roseville Development Review Committee reviewed and recommended approval of a SIDE YARD SETBACK PERMIT to construct a 12-foot by 24- foot garage addition which will encroach into the required side yard setback. Comments Re�ardin� Issues at Hand: The applicants reviewed their plans with the immediate neighbors, most of which signed prepared statements that they have no objections to the approval of the requested setback permit. The remaining two neighbors (2731 St. Albans Street and 693 Terrace Drive) were either unavailable or have offered no comment. Development Review Committee Recommendation: The Setback Permit Review Committee attendees (Bryan Lloyd, Don Munson, and Jamie Radel) found that the proposal does satisfy more than eight of the twelve applicable criteria for approving a Setback Permit as listed in § 1013.05 of the City Code. The DRC therefore recommended issuance of the Setback Permit, with the additional conditions as follows: 1. The driveway must not exceed 26 feet in width at the front property line; the driveway may be flared to the desired width inside the property line, provided that it does not come within 5 feet of the side property line (as required in § 1004.016 of the City Code). 2. No rain gutters will be required unless storm water runoff from the site becomes a problem for the neighbor adjacent to the garage addition. If such a problem is brought to the attention of the City, gutters will then be required which direct rain water runoff into the front or rear yards and not toward the adj acent property. While not a condition for approval of the Setback Permit, it was pointed out that the side lot line adjacent to the garage addition must be clearly identified for a preconstruction inspection so that the distance between the proposed addition and the side property line can be verified. Community Development Director's Decision: I concur with the recommendations of the DRC to issue the Setback Permit and, as allowed for in §1013.05 of the City Code, make the DRC recommendations a condition of approval. The Setback Permit will become effective after the (ten-day) appeal period has expired at NOON on Monday, August 28t", assuming no written appeal has been received by the City Manager. If an official appeal is properly registered, it will be heard by the Variance Board at the Board meeting of October 4th, 2006.
