This request is in addition to.a previously <br />requested variance (Section 1004.01A3) and a conditional use permit. This <br />property is located at 1166 Laurie Road and is legally as: Lot 9, Block 2, Golden <br />Oaks, Ramsey County, MN (PID #102923440050). <br /> <br />Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal <br />summary of the project report dated August 8, 2001. <br /> <br />Fred and Laurie Boucher wish to construct a 1,008 square foot detached garage at 1166 <br />Laurie Road. In order to do this, two variances and a conditional use permit are <br />necessary. The Planning Commission in July recommended approval of one variance <br />and the conditional use permit. Since the Commission action, one additional variance <br />(accessory building size in comparison to house size) has become necessary from Section <br />1004.01A5 of the Roseville City Code. <br />Staff conducted a field inspection and determined that the house measured 26 feet by 30 <br />feet or 832 square feet. This does not meet the Code requirement of Section 1004.01A5, <br />thus an additional variance is necessary for the Boucher's to proceed forward with their <br />plans, <br /> <br />Mr. Paschke noted the overall impact ofthis proposal is an addition of 56 square feet <br />because of the smaller size of the 832 square feet. Staff recommended approval. <br /> <br />Member Traynor asked if property values would be affected by the proposal. Thomas <br />Paschke noted the staff could find no decline in value of surrounding properties. <br /> <br />Member Duncan asked if the City Code prohibited four-car garages (no). Thomas <br />Paschke noted that the size of the lot and structure limit the number of stalls. <br /> <br />Member Mulder asked if the owner could build an 832 square foot building and a 120 <br />square foot garden shed (yes). The applicants are requesting a 56 square foot variance to <br />combine two buildings into one. <br /> <br />The applicant had no comment. <br /> <br />Chair Rhody closed the hearing. <br /> <br />Member Olson stated there is a problem identifying the hardship for the variance. <br />Thomas Paschke read the definition of a "hardship". <br /> <br />Member Duncan asked if the four-car garage is reasonable. Thomas Paschke explained <br />what might be practical and reasonable. The goal of staff was to minimize the number of <br />buildings on the site. <br /> <br />Member Mulder noted that the hardships are subjective and that this site is unique <br />because the combination building was a better solution than what the Code allows. <br />
