Chair Bakeman spoke in support of denying the request, expressing her strong support of wetlands and lakeshores.

However, Commissioners concurred that a reasonable use existing for the home; and protection of the fifty-foot (50') setback for wetland protection was certainly applicable. 6.4 The Variance Board voted 3-0 to adopt Variance Board resolution 47 to DENY the request for a 15-foot variance to § 1016.16 (Wetland Setbacks) of the City Code, which specifies that "hardships" are NOT present and so support CANNOT be given to deviate from the strict requirements of the Roseville City Code. 7.0 SUGGESTED COUNCIL ACTION: 7.1 The City Council has two options pertaining to the VARIANCE APPEAL by Mr. McDaniel: a. The Council can concur with the Variance Board's decision to deny the requested variance, concluding that no hardships are present to warrant granting a variance; to act on this decision the City Council could ADOPT a RESOLUTION DENYING a VARIANCE to Section 1016.16 (Wetland Setbacks) of the City Code. This action will require findings of fact denying said request (see Attachment J: Draft Concurring Resolution). b. The Council can support the applicant's request, determining that hardships are present that warrant granting a variance; to act on this decision the City Council could ADOPT a RESOLUTION APPROVING a 15 foot VARIANCE to Section 1016. 16 (Wetland Setbacks) of the City Code (see Attachment K: Draft Variance Approval Resolution).
