<br />4.0 POLICY & FISCAL IMPLICATION <br /> <br />4.1 The Comprehensive Plan and the Roseville Housing Improvement Plan encourage maintaining <br />and improving residential properties and infrastructure, as well as reconstruction and rebuilding <br />of residential structures (and neighborhoods) throughout the community. <br /> <br />4.2 There are no additional fiscal implications and no public infrastructure improvements or <br />extensions necessary. <br /> <br />5.0 STAFF DETERMINED FINDINGS <br /> <br />5.1 Staff has reviewed the merits of the two variances necessary to allow the Lundells to proceed <br />with their proposed garage addition plans. Staff offers the following findings: <br /> <br />a. The Lundells did not create the existing condition hardship. The home was constructed <br />prior to the 1959 ordinance and 1995 amendment. <br /> <br />b. Though the addition is an extension of a pre-existing non-conforming condition, the <br />Lundell's did not create the current garage configuration or the fireplace impediment <br />that reduces the function and storage capabilities of the garage to a 10-112 foot width. <br /> <br />c. Like many homes built in the 1940's and 1950's, prior the adoption of the corner side <br />yard setback and driveway setback, the Lundell principal structure does not comply <br />with the established 30 foot setback from property line. Requiring a setback of 30 feet <br />from the property line would be unworkable and require removal of existing garage and <br />a portion of the home and relocation of the existing driveway. <br /> <br />d. The new construction (five foot garage addition) can be justified as added livability; <br />providing necessary space for accessing and maneuvering vehicles within the garage. <br /> <br />e. The impacts of this development project, if the variances were issued, will not create <br />any significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general welfare. <br /> <br />6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDED CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL <br /> <br />6.1 The overall dimension of the attached garage shall be limited to a maximum width of 17 feet or <br />an addition of five feet in garage width. <br /> <br />6.2 The proposed garage addition shall be set back a minimum of five feet from the east (corner <br />street side) property line. <br /> <br />6.3 All roof drainage created by the addition and existing attached garage must be collected in <br />gutters and channeled to the natural drainage way for the applicant's property (east). <br /> <br />PF3288 - RPCA (021401) Page 3 of 4 <br />
