REQUEST FOR PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION Item Description: DATE: 01110101 ITEM NO: 6e Agenda Section: PUBLIC HEARING A request by Peter Vesterholt, 699 Heinel Circle, for a 5 and 23 foot variance from Section 1004.02D (Minimum Yard Requirements), 1016.22Al (Non- Conformities), and 1016.16 (Structure Design Standards) of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance to allow construction of an attached garage into the required side and front yard (street side) setback (PF3280). Manager Approved: 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION 1.1 Peter Vesterholt, property owner of 699 Heinel Circle, has requested variances from Section 1004.02D5, 1016.16, and lOl6.22Al of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction a 527 square foot garage addition. The proposed garage addition would encroach into the required 10-foot side yard setback (5 feet) and the required 30-foot front yard setback (23 feet). 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 Vesterholt property adjacent to Heinel Circle. Mr. Vesterholt wants to eliminate an existing (unsightly) shed and construct an addition onto his existing garage to improve handicapped accessibility for his wife. The existing garage, 19 feet wide by 21 feet deep (399 square feet) lies approximately 15 feet from the front yard (east) property line. The proposal would place the garage approximately 7 feet from the front property line. This front yard setback variance also requires a variance from Section 602 allowing vehicles to be parked within street right-of-way. 2.2 Section 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-l Districts) also requires a side yard setback of 10 feet for the Vesterholt property along the northeast property line. Mr. Vesterholt proposes to extend the garage towards the northeastern side yard property line to create an additional stall and enclosed storage area. The design and additional area will offer accessibility to stored items and greater movement around vehicles. However, the proposed addition would encroach five feet into the required 10- foot side yard setback. 2.3 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 Vesterholt house has been determined to be a pre-existing non-conforming structure that was constructed prior to the City adopting Shoreland, Wetland, and Storm Water Management regulations. The specific non-conformity is the distance the principal structure is setback (56 feet) from the Ordinary High Watermark. A variance is necessary to bring the house into conformity with the City Code, which requires a 75-foot setback from the OHW. PF3280 - RPCA (011001) Page 1 of 4
