August 8, 2000 Mr. Hongru Shen 1849 Eldridge Avenue Roseville, MN 55113 REo' Proposed porch addition. .... . '. .,,.:: Dear Mr. Shen: Based on our conversation of August 7, 2000, I have reviewed the Rosevil1e City Code regarding your inq:uiry about a front porch addition and have the following comments: ~ The required front yard setback for an attached covered porch in 30 feet from a property line. ~ _ Based on information obtained through the City's computer system your existing home __appears to be setback 30 feet from the front property line. ,J.';":~'''.''~~.I',,,''''' ., ~ A Setback Permit can be applied for to allow an encroachment of up to six feet into the required 30 foot front yard setback. Su,bmittalof a completed application and appropriate attachments are necessary (see attachments). This process requires a hearing and determination by ~he Development Review Committee and takes approximately three weeks to complete. - , ~ . An encroachment greater than six feet would require a variance. This process takes approximately 60 days and requires a hearing and recommendation by the Planning Commission, and approval by the City Council. ~ The fax you provided of the proposed porch could potentially be integrated into you home. However, at a minimum it appears that a setback permit would be necessary. In summary, the porch would be a nice addition to your home, but may require a special process and consideration. The City suggests you locate your property corner pins and determine the distance from your front property line to your home. This can be achieved by contacting Doug Strong-(651.490.2225) of the Roseviile Engineering Department to get the exact distance from the back of curb to your property line. -- 2660 Civic Center Drive.-:.
