5.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 5.1 On July 12, 2000, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Reichenbach/Anderson variance and conditional use permit request. No citizens were present to address the Commission on the variance/conditional use permit request. 5.2 The Commission indicated support of findings for a variance and stated concern about the granting of a conditional use permit. Specifically, the Commission had reservations of approving an accessory building that exceeded the rear yard allowance of 40 %. 5.3 The Planning Commission voted (6-1) to recommend approval of the variance request by Robert Reichenback and Gail Anderson from Section 1004.01A13 of the Roseville City Code based on the following findings: A. There is a physical hardship in the request by the applicant for a variance to exceed the permitted lot coverage. B. The applicant did not create the hardship. C. There is a unique physical feature to the property that would justify the variance, specifically the narrow shape of the lot and requiring an extended length of driveway. D. There is not a reasonable alternative design that could be accomplished without a variance. E. Granting the variance would not significantly impact the health, safety or general welfare of the community. F. Granting of the variance is in keeping with the spirit and intent of the ordinance. G. The variance should be limited to an increase in the residential lot coverage from 30% to 39.5%. 5.4 The Planning Commission voted (7-0) to recommend denial of the request by Reichenbach/Anderson for a Conditional Use Permit to construct a detached accessory building greater than the allowable (40%) rear yard area on property located at 1858 Hamline Avenue, based on the following: A. The proposed use is not compatible with adjoining properties and is not consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. 6.0 SUGGESTED CITY COUNCIL ACTION 6.1 By resolution approve (deny) the request by Reichenbach! Anderson for a variance to Section 1004.01A13 ofthe Roseville City Code to allow an increase in impervious site coverage from 30% to 39.5%, for property located at 1858 Hamline Avenue, subject to the above indicated findings by the Planning Commission and any additional findings by the City Council.
