4 " Steve Sarkozy, City Manager City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Hoseville, Minnesota 55113 ~ , ~ Vecember 29, 1994 - Dear Sirl I am, with this letter. issuing a formal complaint regarding the granting of an approximate 11 foot variance in the construction of a home at 1960 North Dale St., Roseville, Mn. 55113. Evidently, formal meetings have been held regarding not only the issuance of a building permit, but also of a variance which allowed this home to be constructed closer to my property line than current law permits. I was never informed of any such meetin~s or granting of variances although this home directly abuts my property. Shortly after surveyor's flags appeared, I went to the City Hall requestin~ information regarding this property at 1960 North Dale and inquiring as to construction plans for this property. I was informed that no information refarding this property at 1960 North Lale had been inputted into the computer system. This means to me that at that point no formal plans had been approved or dis- approved. ~ithin 10 days of this visit, clearing of the property by heavy equipment had begun on 11/17/94. I assumed that the building construction would proceed in code since I knew nothing of the granting of any variances. Only after contacting Mike in Roseville Planning and asking why the house foundation appeared so close to my property line, did I learn from Mike that a variance had been granted. He statea that current law requires. that the rear of the buildin~ be 30 feet from the property line. This home is approximately 19 feet from my property line. To any objective observer, it is clear that the current location of this home significantly reduces the value of my property, and limits the options I may have for its use in the future. Since Hoseville was negligent in granting this variance to the property at 1960 North Lale, and showed no concern whatsoever to its impact on the adjoininr. property most effected, I am requesting the following actionl 1. No further variances will be granted to the property at 1960 North Dale regarding construction at the rear of the home, such as decks, sheds, or attached protuberances, other than steps and a narrow sidewalk heaaing south to the driveway.
