<br />{,-p.-q g <br /> <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 06/08/98 <br />ITEM NO: c- 5 <br /> <br /> <br />Manager Approved: Agenda Section: <br />~cr CONSENT <br /> <br />Susan Weber request for a minor variance to reduce the setback from <br />an unimproved right-of-way to 27 feet for the purpose of constructing <br />a garage addition at 749 Sextant Avenue West (PF#3035). <br /> <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Susan Weber is requesting a minor variance to reduce the setback from an <br />unimproved right-of-way (extension of Grotto Street) to 27 feet for the purpose of <br />constructing a seven foot addition to an attached garage at 749 Sextant Avenue <br />West. <br /> <br />Requirement <br /> <br />Proposal <br /> <br />Variance <br /> <br />Front yard setback - 3D' <br /> <br />27' setback <br /> <br />3' variance <br /> <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 Susan Weber owns a home at 749 Sextant Avenue West. The property is zoned <br />R-1 Single Family Residential and adjacent land uses are Central Park to the north <br />and single family residential to the east, west, and south. <br /> <br />2.2 Ms. Weber is requesting a variance from Section 1004.02(0)(4), City Code, to <br />reduce the front yard setback to 27 feet for the purpose of constructing a seven foot <br />addition to an attached single stall garage. The existing garage is 15 feet in width <br />and provides storage for one vehicle. The seven foot addition will increase the <br />width of the garage to 22 feet and provide storage for a second vehicle. The house <br />is located on a corner lot; however, the right-of-way on the east side of the parcel <br />is an unimproved right-of-way (extension of Grotto Street). Since this right-of-way <br />contains a pathway into Central Park, it is doubtful that a standard roadway wi II ever <br />be constructed within the right-of-way. The location of the property on a comer <br />and the location of the house on the property create a physical hardship, <br />while the single car garage presents a practical difficulty for the applicant. <br /> <br />2.3 It is also the policy of the City of Roseville to issue minor variances when there is <br />a hardship or practical difficulty, provided the property is located in an R-1, Single <br />Family Residential District, and used for residential purposes. <br /> <br />PF#3035 - RCA (06/08/98) - Page 1 of 3 <br />
