WHEREAS, the Roseville Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the request on Wednesday, October 11,2000, and recommended approval (5-0) of the requested variance, with the following findings: Whereas, the Planning Commissionfinds that a strict application of the City Code would work an unusual hardship on the applicant; and Whereas, the hardship was not created by the applicant; and Whereas, the granting of the variance will not significantly impact the health, safety or general welfare of the community; and WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council received the Planning Commission's findings and recommendation on Monday, October 23, 2000; and WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council stipulates that Section 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-l Districts) requires a detached garage front yard setback of30 feet, and further, that a variance requires the applicant to prove physical hardship and to demonstrate that no practical alternatives exist that would reduce the need for a variance, and WHEREAS, the Roseville City Council made the following findings: 1. A portion of the replacement garage lies within the required front yard setback, while the new study area addition (a small portion of the garage) would meet the required setback. The parkingfor the garage would be on the south side of the building, not adjacent to the right-of-way. 2. Topography and trees in this area have created hardships in the past, requiring residents in the neighborhood to obtain variances to complete or replace existing non-conforming garages. 3. The existing garage property cannot be put to a reasonable use ifused under the conditions permitted by the ordinance because, in part, of structural deterioration. 5. The hardship is not the applicant's creation. 6. If granted, the variance will not impact the health, safety, or general welfare of the community. 7. The Kenney request has been forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources for review and comment. The proposed detached garage replacement does not involve any infractions, new or pre-existing, to the shoreland requirements of Section 1016 of the City. 2
