Plan nine: File 3266: A request by Robert 1. Sladky for variances from the 'Shoreland Ordinance to allow construction of a 24 foot 11 inch by 11 foot 6 inch (279.68 square foot) four-season porch within the required 75-foot shoreland setback located at 382 North McCarrons Blvd., Roseville. Roberta Sladky, 382 North McCarrons Boulevard, is requesting variances from Section 1016.22Al, Section 1016.16A, and Section 1004.02D5 of the Roseville City Code to allow the replacement of a 25 foot by 11.5 foot (307 sq. ft.) four- season porch. The variances include: 1) A pre-existing non-conforming lot; 2) a pre-existing non-conforming house within the required 75-foot shoreland setback; 3) and a pre-existing structure located within the required side yard setback. The project report indicated the following findings/recommendations: The Sladky home was constructed in 1930 as a cabin and includes a detached garage. The home is built on a flat portion of the lot with a rising elevation to the northeast that is mostly held in place by a retaining wall. The lot also slops gently to the lake. The house has been remodeled into a four-season home. Access to the property extends south along a private drive from North McCarrons Boulevard. Sewer and Water serve the house. The Sladky request has been forwarded to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for review and comment. Staff was able to review the request with Mr. Joe Richter of the DNR where the following items were discussed: Mr. Richter indicated the DNR would not oppose the replacement in the exact location. However, he indicated a desire to have the four-season porch reduced (would require smaller size) to lessen the impact of the shoreland setback or the option of reconstruction the porch on the east side of the home. The DNR would like the Sladky's to look into these options, but should they not be appropriate given existing conditions, the DNR would support the variance and porch replacement. The parcel is odd shaped, has topographical limitations to the northeast and east, is restricted due to a city sewer line and 20 foot wide easement, and has no reasonable alternative. The former four-season porch and its current foundation are pre-existing non-conforming uses. The City is concerned with how the house is situated on the parcel and the potential of the home lying over the western property line and possibly into the sewer easement. Although the sewer line was constructed many years after the home was constructed, the house and lot are considered pre-existing non-conforming. However, staff considers these two items critical. Should the home lie over the easement created for the sewer line, staff would have to review options to remedy the matter. Further, should the house be located on the adjoining parcel, the Sladky's would be required to seek an easement or acquire property to remedy the matter. Member Rhody asked whether a smaller porch was considered. Ms. Sladky said all plans are on hold, pending variance, and using the existing slab has always been the plan.
