CITY OF ROSEVILLE PLANNING REPORT ,===============--==- '-===========--==\==== '-=== Planner Approval: Department Approval: Agenda Secti\.n: --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Item Description: Roseville Good Samaritan Center's request for a variance to the zoning ordinance. --------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Back2round The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society in Saint Paul has submitted a variance application for its Roseville Good Samaritan Center, located at 1415 W, County Road B, one block west ofHamline Avenue. The nursing home plans to build an addition to fulfill the needs for a larger dining room, public entrance, administrative offices, dayroom, storage and handicap toilet. This addition would result in the loss of 3 bedrooms, thus requiring the need for a bedroom addition on the east end of the building. If this east addition were to be built, the extension would encroach approximately twelve (12) ft, beyond the side lot setback requirement for corner lots, Currently, Roseville's ordinance states that there must be a minimum side lot setback of thirty (30) feet on cQrner lots. Thus, the Good Samaritan Center is requesting a variance so that their current space problem would be eliminated, 2. Engineering Considerations The Engineering Department has reviewed this variance application and has come up with the following recommendations. First of all, the engineering staff brought up the fact that a total of 11 parking spaces will be lost as a result ofthis addition. The question was, what does the lost parking spaces do to the required number of spaces? According to City Ordinance, nursing homes are required to provide one (]) parking space for every four beds in the complex, The Planning Department has reviewed this concern and has found that the elimination of 11 parking spaces will not affect the requirement. Currently there are 57 parking spaces available; after the addition is built, there will be a total of 46, Nonetheless, code requires that there be 33 spaces provided since there will be a total of 132 beds in the Good Samaritan Center. There are two other recommendations that the Engineering staff presented, dealing with grading and sidewalks, The Good Samaritan Center will have to submit a grading plan for the parking lot to check drainage from the site. In addition, there is no sidewalk along
