REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: {#2/12/01 ITEM NO: I-I Agenda Section: LAND USE A request by Robert itt for variances from Sections 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-1 Districts), 1016.16A (Structure Design Standards), 1016.22A1 (Non-Confonnities), and 1016.26.B1 (Stonn Water Management). (PF3279) This request was continued from the January 22 Council meeting due to the absence of the applicant. Since that date, staff has contacted the applicant to explain the need to be present when Council considers action on a request. Mr. Witt apologized for missing the City Council meeting and explained that he was confused on the date of the Council meeting. 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Robert Witt, property owner of 353 South Owasso Boulevard, has requested variances from Section 1004.02D5, 1016.16A, 1016.22Al, and 1016.26Bl of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction a 2,204 square foot full basement rambler with attached garage. The variances include: A. An existing garage to be less than 30 feet from the front yard property line. B. A structure to be placed less than the required 75-foot shoreland setback. C. A lot to be less that the required 100 foot wide width. D. A greater impervious coverage than the required 25%. 2.0 REVIEW of REQUEST 2.1 Section 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-l Districts) requires a front yard setback of 30 feet for the Witt property adjacent to South Owasso Boulevard. Mr. Witt has indicated that he wants to keep the existing detached garage and use it as a storage building. The existing structure lies 6 to 10 feet ( angular) from the front property line and requires a 29- foot variance to keep the structure. 2.2 Section 1016.22Al (Non-Conformities) stipulates that non-conformities can continue but are subject to applicable State Statutes and City Ordinance regarding alterations, repair after damage, discontinuance of use, and intensification of use. The Witt lot is a pre- existing non-confonning lot with a width of 37 feet along South Owasso Boulevard, an average depth of 172 feet, 51 feet of frontage along Lake Owasso, and a lot size of 8,716 square feet. A buildable pre-existing non-confonning lot of record must meet 70% of the lot width and area requirements. The Witt lot does not meet these requirements and requires variances in order to update the existing structure. PF3279 - RCA (021201) Page 1 of 5
