<br />the Roseville City Code. The variance would be for a 19-foot setback deviation and if granted, <br />would eliminate the non-conformity and potentially the need to receive additional Council approval <br />for future improvements; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Department of Natural Resources has reviewed the proposal and has <br />indicated support for the garage addition and concluded that the existing home given the <br />circumstances, warrants a variances; and <br /> <br />WHEREAS, the Roseville Planning Commission, on January 10, 2001, conducted a public <br />hearing regarding the Witt request and made the following fllldings: <br /> <br />a, Mr. Vesterholt did not create the hardship, The lot division occurred and the <br />structure was constructed and improved many years before the Vesterholt's <br />purchased the property. City records indicate the existing structure was constructed <br />in 1957 with municipal sewer and water being installed in 1964. The Roseville City <br />Code was adopted in 1959 and the Shoreland Ordinance adopted in 1974. <br /> <br />b. Like many home build prior to the Shoreland Ordinance being adopted, the <br />Vesterholt structure does not comply with the established 75-foot setback from the <br />Ordinary High Watermark. Requiring a setback of75 feet from the OHW would be <br />unworkable and require removal of existing living area, <br /> <br />c. The new construction (garage addition) can be justified as added livability, <br />accessibility and by providing necessary space for maneuvering vehicles and <br />provision of accessible storage for Ms. Vesterholt who has a disability, <br /> <br />d The addition, though within the required ten-foot side yard setback, is consistent at <br />five feet with the other lots within the cul-de-sac and neighborhood, However, <br />according to City records, the Vesterholt lot and the adjacent property at 705 Heinel <br />Circle are considered ten-foot side yard setback parcels. <br /> <br />e. City records indicate that the right-of-way for Heinel Circle was dedicated with the <br />original Oak Point plat in 1949, but do not indicate why the existing home infringes <br />15 feet within the required front yard setback. With the additional eight foot <br />requested encroachment into the required setback the proposed garage will set within <br />seven feet of the street right-of-way line. The distance from the proposed addition <br />to the street curb will be approximately 37 feet and will be visually consistent with <br />695 Heinel Circle. Within this 37 feet a vehicle can be completely parked off of the <br />street pavement. There appears to be no adverse impacts to the surrounding <br />propertles. <br /> <br />f The curb line of the cul-de-sac is situated approximately 30 feet from the property <br />line, thus allowing ample area between the new garage addition and street curb line to <br />park a vehicle, which does not create any significant impacts on the minimally <br />(mostly adjacent residents and mail delivery) traveled Heinel Circle. <br /> <br />2 <br />
