5 - <-8.-q~ May 28, 1998 City of Roseville 2660 Civic Center Drive Roseville, MN 55113 Re: Minor Variance request 749 Sextant A venue West Variance Committee: I herewith request a variance from section 1004.02 of the city code. We are ptanning to add seven feet onto our existing attached garage to make it a double. Currently, we have a single car garage and own two cars. As you can see from the attached site plan, our lot is 103' wide with the east border, which is the addition side, abutting a park pathway to Central Park. (The rear of our house backs up to the park.) Lacking lot markers, we estimate there to be 30' or more from the existing garage to the lot fine. (Two inspectors from the city have looked at our property and can verify this.) Adding 7' onto the existing garage would reduce the 30' side yard to approximately 23'. There is no street running east of our 10~ our lot is an average of 25 feet wider than most in our area, and it appears that adding seven feet on to our garage not impact anyone. Our neighbor to the east is nearty a fuJllct distance from us with her garage on our side, and we have spoken with her about our garage plans. We were told a month or so ago by Kim Lee that no variance would be required; that a side yard needed a ten foot minimum. Apparently there's gray area here because we are not on an actual street COI'JIIer. Because we believed previously that no variance was required, our building contractor has scheduled and is waiting on this project. We hope that variance approval can be issued or waived as soon as possible so that we can move forward. Thank you for your consideration.
