Requirement Proposal Variance 5' Setback < l' Setback 5' Variance 2J1 BACKGROUND 2.1 Thomas and Mary Lou Nicholls own a home at 2160 Draper Avenue W. The property is zoned R-1 Single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are all single family residential. 2.2 Mr. and Mrs. Nicholls are requesting a variance from Section 703.048, City Code, to allow the replacement and continuance of a driveway less than five feet from the side property line. The owners would like to replace the driveway on the property, which has been in this location since the property was platted in 1969. The garage was originally accessed from Roselawn; however, when the property was platted in 1969 and Westwood Circle was created, the access to the garage had to be moved to Draper Avenue. In order to get around the home and into the garage door on the south side of the house, the driveway has to remain less than five feet from the west property line. 2.3 It is 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."
