Our current building plan was reviewed and approved by Roseville planning in Oct08 (including an approved variance for the front porch), but the plan inadvertently omitted a patio that would connect the house and an outdoor swimming pool. Our currently approved plan is near the limit of 30% coverage, and adding the patio would place us at approximately 33% coverage. As a result, we are filing this impervious coverage deviation application to allow the patio to be built. Statement of Intent The patio will connect the back of the house and the pool at one elevation, allowing Noah to independently go outside in his wheelchair in this safe area. Additionally, it will allow us to safely transfer him from the house to the pool in his wheelchair. Key facts are as follows: • The square footage of the patio will be approximately 735 square ft. A marked-up survey is attached which shows the following: o In blue is the location of the proposed patio connecting the house and pool. o The patio will stop 2 feet from the pool to allow the creation of an annual flower bed, with the only exception being a 42 inch section at the pool gate which will allow Noah's wheelchair to enter the pool area. This is marked by a dark blue box. o In red is the actual location of the screen porch (the survey showed an incorrect configuration of the screen porch). • The addition of the patio would change our impervious coverage amount to approximately 33%o, which is within the limits of an impervious coverage deviation for a standard lot. • The patio will be comprised of stamped concrete, using natural grayish color and simulating random paving stones.
