2.3 It is the policy of the City of Roseville to issue minor variances when there is a hardship or practical difficulty, provided the property is located in an R-1, Single Family Residential District, and used for residential purposes. 2.4 Section 1012.01(B), City Code, requires a minimum side yard setback of five feet for parcels platted before May 21, 1959. Section 703.04(8)(9), City Code, requires a minimum side yard setback of five feet for a residential driveway. 3.0 MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed driveway, written statement from the applicant, and written approval from the adjacent property owner affected by the variance (Jack Hastings at 1741 Chatsworth Street North). 3.2 The Minor Variance Committee reviewed this request on Tuesday, April 14, 1998, and unanimously recommended approval of a minor variance to reduce the side yard setback to three feet for the purpose of constructing a two-car attached garage and a variance to reduce the driveway setback for the purpose of bringing an existing driveway into compliance at 1747 Chatsworth Street North, based on the following findings: 1. The substandard size of the parcel and the location of the house on the property creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. 2. The width of the driveway will not exceed 26 feet at the property line. 3. The proposed variance is in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the City's Comprehensive Plan and Title 10 of the City Code (Zoning). 4.
