File 3333: A request by Roseville Covenant Church for a Variance from Section 1004.02A4 of the Roseville City Code to allow use ofa home, closer than 30 feet from adjacent residential uses, for church purposes. The property is located at 1380 County Road C2. Chair Rhody opened the hearing and requested Thomas Paschke to provide a verbal summary of the project report dated July 11,2001. Roseville Covenant Church is requesting a 23-foot variance from Section 1004.02A4 of the City Code to establish a church use in structure closer than 30 feet to an adjacent residential lot. Roseville Covenant Church, 2865 Hamline Avenue, intends to purchase the property (a duplex) at 1380 and 1382 County Road C2 for the utilization of church office and storage. The property is zoned R-2, Two Family Residence District; located in Planning District 3; and given a Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map designation of Low Density Residential. Mr. Paschke noted this is a pre-existing, permitted condition. Moving the structure to meet the setback is unreasonable. He recommended approval. Member Mulder asked if the Church could add on to the site. (The Church can use all of the structure, but to change the structure, the Church must meet the Code). Member Wilke asked if the Church is tax exempt; does the property become tax-exempt? (yes); assessments do apply. The applicant had no comment. Merle Grundum, 2280 Sheldon, was opposed to the Church taking over the property because of church property maintenance including weeds and screening HV AC. Chair Rhody closed the hearing. Member Wilke recounted how HV AC on the north side of the building was not favorably reviewed in prior years. Staff must review the existing site and conditions attached to the Church. Motion: Member Mulder moved, seconded by Member Wilke, to recommend approval of the request by Roseville Covenant Church for a 23-foot variance to Section 1002.02A4 of the Roseville City Code, based on the comments and findings in Section 3 of the project report dated August 8, 2001. Ayes: Rhody, Cunningham, Traynor, Wilke, Olson, Duncan, Mulder Nays: None Motion carried 7-0. Member Olson noted that parking would be on the Church parking lot rather than on County Road C-2.
