Whereas, the Planning Commission finds that there is a physical hardship in denying the applicant a variance to construct a paved surface for the driveway at 201 McCarrons Street, that hardship being the difficulty in accessing the parking structure in the rear of the property without a paved surface; and, That the necessity of using the parking structure in the rear of the property is the result of a physical hardship, that hardship being the applicant's physical condition requiring the use of a specially equipped vehicle and the inability ofthe attached garage to accommodate such a vehicle; and, That the applicant did not create these hardships; Whereas, the Planning Commission finds that there is a unique physical feature to the property that would justify the variance, specifically the narrow shape of the lot and placement of the principal structure, that there is not a reasonable alternative design that would not require a variance, and that the granting of the variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance and would not significantly impact the general welfare of the community; Therefore, the Planning Commission recommends approval of Ralph Jenson's request for a variance to allow a driveway to encroach up to the west property line for the property located at 201 McCarran's Street subject to three conditions: 1. That the applicant supply a drainage plan for the driveway that directs water away from the neighboring lot; and 2. That the applicant remove the existing driveway on the east side of the property and replace it with sod and landscaping; and 3. That the applicant constructs a turn-around space adjacent to the detached garage. 6.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION 6.1 By resolution approve (deny) a five foot side yard setback variance for Ralph Jenson to allow a bituminous driveway to be constructed up to the west property line of property located at 201 McCarron's Street, and concurring with the finding and conditions stipulated by the Roseville Planning Commission and any additional findings and conditions determined by the City Council.
