WHEREAS, Brad & Randi Lundell have requested variances from Section 1004.02D4 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R-1 Districts) and Section 703.04B4 (driveway setback from street right-of-way) of the Roseville City Code; and for property located at 1828 Ryan Avenue legally described as: Lot 1, Block 1, &sefairCourt (pID #162923240059) WHEREAS, Section 1004.02D4 requires a side yard adjacent a street on a corner lot to be a minimum of 30 feet for the Lundell property adjacent to Fairview Avenue; and WHEREAS, the Lundell's home is a pre-existing non-conforming principal structure encroaching 20 feet into the required 30 foot setback; and WHEREAS, the Lundell's want to add onto their existing attached garage to provide a larger space to park a vehicle and store household items; and WHEREAS, the City has determined that an addition of five feet is permissible under the variance requirements of the Roseville City Code; and WHEREAS, the Lundell's driveway is pre-existing non-conforming, encroaching 23 feet into the required 30 setback of Section 703.04B of the Roseville City Code; and WHEREAS, the Roseville Planning Commission, on February 14,2001, conducted a public hearing regarding the Lundell request and made the following findings: a. The Lundell's did not create the existing condition hardship. The home was constructed prior to the 1959 ordinance and 1995 amendment. Allowing structural modifications such as house and garage additions to extend to the existing line lying 10 feet from the east property line opportunities not currently allowed. b. Though the addition is an extension of a pre-existing non-conforming condition, the Lundell's did not create the current garage configuration or the fireplace impediment that reduces the function and storage capabilities of the garage to a 10-1/2 foot width. c. Like many home built in the 1940's and 1950's prior the adoption of the corner side yard setback and driveway setback, the Lundell principal structure does not comply with the established 30 foot setback from property line. Requiring a setback of 30 feet from the property line would be unworkable and require removal of existing garage and portion of the home and relocation of the existing driveway. d. The new construction (five foot garage addition) can be justified as added livability that provides necessary space for accessing and maneuvering vehicles within the garage. e. The impacts of this development project, if the variances were issued, will not create any significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general welfare. 1
