<br />C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: <br />The proposed 14- foot variance to allow an encroachment to a distance 24 feet <br />from the front property line will alter the essential character of the locality by <br />bringing the principal much closer to the front property line than other home on <br />the block. However, in the future other on the block may also be updated <br />requiring special considerations due to the unique front yard setback. The <br />variance, if granted, will not adversely affect the public health, safety, or general <br />welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. <br /> <br />4.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION <br /> <br />4.1 The Community Development staff has determined that there are unique circumstances <br />and hardships present on the Conway parcel. The options available to the Conway's are <br />not reasonable and create difficult home design difficulties including structural, function, <br />and layout. <br /> <br />4.2 Based on the findings outlined in Section 3 staff recommends approval of the request for <br />a 14-foot variance from Section 1004.01E of the City Code, to allow the construction of a <br />20 foot by 20 foot garage addition to the principal structure to a distance 24 feet from the <br />front property line, subject to <br /> <br />A. Verification of the front (east) and side (north) property lines to confirm the <br />current principal structure (home and garage) setbacks. <br /> <br />B. The design of the garage addition fits into the general character of the existing <br />home and is constructed of similar materials to that of the home. <br /> <br />C. Provision of a drainage plan for the property at the time the building permit is <br />submitted. The drainage plan must be reviewed and approved by the Acting <br />Public Works Director. <br /> <br />5.0 SUGGESTED PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION <br /> <br />By motion, recommend approval (approval with conditions or deny) of the request by <br />John and Laurie Conway for a 14 foot variance to Section 1004.01E of the Roseville City <br />Code to allow a front yard setback encroachment to a distance 24 feet from the front <br />property line, based on the findings in Section 3 and conditions of Section 4 of the <br />project report dated June 13,2001. <br /> <br />Prepared by: Thomas Paschke (490-2236) <br /> <br />Attachments: Property location map; site photo; site plan, <br />60-day Time Limit: Application accepted on May 23, 2001.
