quite different. While the existing structure does not meet the existing requirements of the most recent building codes, it is otherwise a compatible building worth renovating/adapting to a current use. It is more cost effective to renovate. b, Requiring a setback of 30 feet from Lovell Avenue is consistent with the setback of adjacent residential structures, but is unique in that there are no other 2.5 story fire stations in the area to compare it with. The structure will be at least 35 feet from the Lovell Street curb. No curb cut or parking is proposed on this side of the building. c. Given existing conditions, the proximity of the structure to all setbacks, limited structure design options, there appears to be no practical alternative site designs that would allow compliance with the City Code and eliminate the need for variances. d. The impacts of this redevelopment project, if the variance was issued, will not create any significant community impacts on the health, safety, or general welfare. To the contrary, the proposal adds life safety stairwell and provides space for fire dormitory needs. The physical impact off improvement on the neighborhood appears minimal. 6.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION 6.1 The staff recommends approval of the City of Roseville Fire Station 8 foot setback variance request necessary to construct life safety stair well exit from the Fire Station #3 located at 2335 Dale Street, based on the findings in Section 5 and subject to the following conditions: A, The added stair well shall be of similar material and matching colors to the existing exterior of the building. B, The proposed principal structure shall be set back a minimum of 22 feet from the north property line (Lovell Avenue right of way). C. The City must provide a landscape planting plan for the addition. D. All roof drainage created by the new structure must be collected in gutters and channeled to the natural drainage way within the applicant's property. 7.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION 7.1 At their meeting of June 13, 2001, the Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the City of Roseville Fire Department requests for approval of a comer/side lot line variance of eight feet at Fire Station #3,2335 Dale Street, to allow construction of a safety exit stairway. There were no citizens in attendance wishing to address this issue before the Commission. 7.2 The Commission recommended (7-0) offering a resolution approving of a corner/side lot line variance of 8 feet for the construction of a safety exit stairway from the second level to exterior ground floor of Fire Station #3, 2335 Dale Street.
