REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION Department Approval: DATE: 06/12/00 ITEM NO: 1-1 Agenda Section: LAND USE Ken Wieden request for a variance from Section 1004.02D5 (Minimum Yard Requirement) of the Roseville City Code. (PF32 1 1 ) On May 22, 2000, the Roseville continued action of the Wieden request to the June 12, Council meeting to allow further research into options regarding the variance request. 1.0 ACTIVITY SINCE MAY 22, 2000. 1.1 The initial application by Mr. Ken Wieden, 2125 Dale Street, was for a 18.5 foot variance from Section 1004.02D5 (Minimum Yard Requirements) of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction of an attached double stall garage in his front yard adjacent to Eldridge Avenue. 1.2 Mr. Wieden indicated uncertainty of completing the project should the Council approve the variance given the estimated cost of the project. 1.3 Since the May 22, Council meeting, staff has worked with Mr. Wieden to develop a potentially less costly alternative. The current proposal has a 24 foot by 22 foot (528 square foot) detached garage located five feet south ofthe existing home. The proposal would require a 24.5 foot front yard setback variance. The proposal also would create a situation where the depth ofthe driveway is only 20 feet from Eklndge Avenue, 1 providing little space to park a vehIcle. ~~H ~~ ?>~ 2.0 REQUEST BACKGROUND 2.1 Mr. Wieden has been working with the Roseville Engineering Department for the past year in an attempt to solve some site access dilemmas. Last year the City acquired a construction easement for the purpose of trail construction along Dale Street. In return the City offered to slightly reduce the grade of Mr. Wieden's drive access to Dale Street and add a turn-around. 2.2 The existing garage is located adjacent to Dale Street and has a 16% to 19% grade making it difficult to access during the winter months. The proposal calls for an attached garage located along south side of the home at the location of another site access. The proposed garage is 20 feet wide by 24 feet deep (480 square feet) and would be located approximately 18 to 19 feet into the corner lot setback of 30 feet. 2.3 The driveway adjacent to Eldridge Avenue does not allow for complete off-street parking of a vehicle in front of the garage (variance required) and the applicant is proposing an additional stall on the west side of the garage.
