September 13, 2000 Mr. Bernard Roeller 2958 Woodbridge Street Roseville, Minnesota 55113 RE: Reaffirmation of previous Minor Variance Dear Mr. Roeller: This letter is to confirm that the Roseville City Council, at their meeting of September 11, 2000, approved your request for reaffirmation of a previously approved (July 28, 1997) minor variance allowing an accessory building within the required side yard setback, at your home at 2958 Woodbridge Street. The minor variance will allow placement of an accessory building (detached garage) within the side yard of 2958 Woodbridge, based on the following project findings: A. The existing one car garage is located approximately two feet from the north property line and the existing driveway is approximately three feet over the north property line. A 20" retaining wall in this location and the narrow width of the driveway results in the accumulation of snow in this area and makes it difficult to access the garage. B. The new garage will be constructed in line with the front of the house on the property; however, the garage cannot be attached because of the location of required egress windows on the south side of the house. C. There is no other practical location for a garage, either detached or attached, on the property. In order to place the garage in the rear yard on the south side of the parcel, an existing patio area would need to be reconstructed. D. The width of the driveway will not exceed 26 feet at the property line. E. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 ofthe City Code (Zoning). F. The variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare. If you have any questions, please call me (651.490.2232). Sincerely, Dennis Welsch Community Development Director City of Roseville
