<br />4.0 POLICY & FISCAL IMPLICATION <br /> <br />4.1 The Comprehensive Plan and the Roseville Housing Improvement Plan encourage <br />maintaining and improving residential properties and infrastructure, as well as <br />reconstruction and rebuilding of residential structures (and neighborhoods) throughout <br />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 <br />proceed with their proposed garage addition plans. Staff offers the following findings: <br /> <br />a. The Lundells did not create the existing condition. 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, <br />the Lundell's did not create the current garage configuration. <br /> <br />c. Like many homes built in the 1940's and 1950's, prior to the adoption of the <br />comer side yard setback and driveway setback, the Lundell principal structure <br />does not comply with the established 30 foot setback from property line. <br />Requiring a setback of 30 feet from the property line would be unworkable and <br />require removal of existing garage and a portion of the home and relocation of the <br />existing driveway. <br /> <br />d. The new construction (five foot garage addition) can be justified as providing <br />added livability and providing necessary space for accessing and maneuvering <br />vehicles within the single car garage. <br /> <br />e. The impacts of this development project, if the variances were issued, will not <br />create an 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 <br />feet or 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 <br />(corner street side) property line. <br /> <br />6.3 Any addition to the home or garage (southerly direction) shall not be located closer than <br />10 feet from the east property. <br /> <br />PF3288 - RCA (031201) Page 3 of 5 <br />
