(PF3319) 1.0 REQUESTED ACTION The City of Roseville Fire Department requests approval of a comer - side lot line variance of 8 feet at Fire Station #3, 2335 Dale Street, from Section 1004 of the Roseville City Code to allow the construction a safety exit stairway ITom the second level to exterior ground floor. The Fire Station stairwell addition would be within 22 feet to the north property line, adjacent to Lovell Avenue. 2.0 REVIEW of REQUEST 2.1 Section 1004.02D5 (Dwelling Dimensions and Appearances and Height, Frontage, Yard and Lot Area Requirements in R -1 Districts) requires a front yard and comer side yard setback of 30 feet for the Fire Station property adjacent to Lovell Avenue. 2.2 The Fire Chief has indicated that to add needed dormitory capacity to the second level of the station and meet city and state building and life safety codes, the fire station is required to have a second stair. The existing structure lies 30 feet ITom the Lovell Avenue property line. To add an 8 foot wide stairwell along the north wall of the building, an 8 foot variance is required. 2.3 The building has a footprint of approximately 6,000 s.f.; with the 8 foot wide by 19 feet long stair well 152 s.f. of building footprint will be added to the site. 2.4 Chart to review required variances: Code Existing Proposed Variance Condition Requirement Condition Condition Lot Area 12,500 sq. ft. 42,575 sq. ft. Same None Front Yard 30 feet 30 feet 22 feet 8 feet Setback 2.5 The City discussed options with the Fire Staff of constructing an addition on another side of the building. No other side of the building meets the code for separation of safety exits, and because of the specialized facility, no stair well can be placed along the southwest, south and southeast side of the building because of fire truck parking and access lanes. The Chief has determined that requesting a variance was the only practical solution. PF3319 - PF3319RPCA (061301),doc Page I of3
