Requirement Proposal Variance Side yard setback - 5' l' setback 4' variance 2.0 BACKGROUND 2.1 Sharon Leete, on July 7, 1998, received a letter from the City's Codes Coordinator indicating that she was in violation of Section 407.02M of the Roseville City Code by allowing a vehicle to be parked on the grass in her yard at 802 Lovell. 2.2 In an effort to comply with City Code requirements, Ms Leete contacted a contractor to determine the feasibility adding a parking pad to allow for an area for her daughter to park. As the home has only a single car garage, the lack of adequate space for both vehicle movement and parking creates a practical difficulty for the applicant. 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 407.02M(3)a of the City Code, requires that "Vehicles which are parked or stored outside shall be on an improved surface..." and Section 1 004.01 D determines the setback requirements to be not less than five feet from all lot lines of adjoining lots. 3.0 MINOR VARIANCE COMMITTEE 3.1 The request for the variance included the required application form, sketch of the property and proposed driveway pad, written statement from the applicant, and PF#3025 - RCA (05/26/98) - Page 1 of 2
