REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION DATE: 08/11/97 ITEM NO: G~ 1 Agenda Section: CONSENT Item Description: Erik Corbett request for a minor variance for an existing driveway at 2706 Marion Street N (P#2942). 1.J1. REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Erik Corbett is requesting a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback of a driveway to two feet for the purpose of bringing a recently replaced driveway into compliance at 2706 Marion Street N. Requirement Proposal Variance 5' Setback 2' Setback 3' Variance 2Jl BACKGROUND 2.1 Erik Corbett owns a home at 2706 Marion Street N. The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are all single family residential. 2.2 Mr. Corbett is requesting a variance from Section 703.048, City Code, to allow the continuance of a driveway less than five feet from the side property line. The owner replaced the existing driveway on this property earlier this summer; however, he was not aware that a building permit was required for concrete work. The new concrete driveway was placed in the same location as the existing concrete and asphalt driveway on the property. When Mr. Corbett became aware of the City's building permit requirements and applied for a building permit for the driveway, he was informed that the driveway was non-conforming and he would need a variance. 2.3 It is also the policy of the City of Roseville to issue minor variances for driveway side yard setbacks when nonconforming driveways are replaced, provided the property is located in an R-1, Single Family Residential District, and used for residential purposes. 2.4 Section 703.048, City Code, states, "residential driveways shall be constructed so that the edge of the driveway nearest to the side lot line shall be a minimum of five feet from the side lot line."
