WHEREAS, Natalija Ericksen, 2376 Cohansey Street, has requested a variance from Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code to allow construction ofa 384 square foot storage/tool shed exceeding the maximum Code requirement of 120 square feet and requiring a variance of 264 square feet; and WHEREAS, Section 1004.01AI states: Number Allowed: Each residentially zoned or used parcel shall be allowed one accessory building and one storage/tool/garden shed; and WHEREAS, Section 1004.01A5 states: Size Limits: The size of an accessory building shall be limited to forty percent (40%) of a required rear yard area, up to a maximum size of eight hundred sixty four (864) square feet. The one allowable storage/tool/garden shed shall not be included in this area or coverage requirements, provided said storage/tooVgarden shed does not exceed one hundred twenty (120) square feet in area. If an existing storage/tool/garden shed exceeds one hundred twenty (120) square feet in area, that portion of the building over one hundred twenty (120) square feet shall be included in the area and coverage requirements for an accessory building. (Rear yard is defined in Section 1002.02 of this Title as that portion of the yard on the same lot with the principal building, located between the rear building line as specified in the yard regulations for the district in which such lot is located and the rear lot line and extending the full width of the lot.); and WHEREAS, there appears to be adequate space (30 feet) between the house and the detached garage. An addition could be added to the detached garage to accommodate needed storage space. However, the applicant prefers a shed in the rear yard more centrally located to the garden and the majority of-the yard; and WHEREAS, another alternative could be to add the playhouse to the rear of the existing detached garage and construct a new 120 square foot garden shed in the rear yard; and WHEREAS, the Roseville Planning Commission, on November II, 2000, conducted a public hearing regarding the Ericksen request and made the following findings: 1. A strict application of the City Code would not work an unusual hardshiPTon the applicant; and .. 2.
