Attachment E amount of time to complete given the level of detail required, its potentially large 34 scope, and the fact that the amendment is not the Engineering Division’s highest 35 priority project; 36 b. The proposalis generally consistent with the Comprehensive Planin thatthe 37 residential improvements conform tothe size and scale of what is promoted by the 38 Comprehensive Plan’s goals and policies for residential areas; 39 c. The proposal is consistent with the intent of the zoning ordinances because whilethe 40 new improvements will involve more “building footprints and paved surfaces” than 41 the code text strictly allows, the zoning ordinance’s intent is to regulate impervious 42 coverage and the proposed impervious coverage is within the regulatory limit; 43 d. The proposalmakes reasonable use of the subject property because the improvements 44 would appear and function like a typical residential property while the proper 45 installation and maintenance of a pervious paving system will mitigate excess storm 46 water impacts; 47 e. The property possesses the kind of unique characteristics that justify approval of the 48 requested varianceinthe substandard parcel has area, which has the effect of the 49 proposed improvements occupying a larger percentage of the property than if the 50 improvements were situated on a parcel of conforming area. Moreover, the proposal 51 is consistent with code requirements likely to be adopted in the near future, although 52 the exact timing of such azoning amendment is uncertain,and 53 f. Although the proposed residenceis larger than thehistorically small homes in the 54 area, many of those older homes were originally built as cabins and the scale of the 55 proposed development is consistent with that of the newer homes that are being built 56 to replace the older structures, so approval of the variancewould not negatively alter 57 the character of the surrounding residential neighborhood. 58 NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, by the Roseville Variance Board, to approvea 59 varianceto §1004.08of the City Code to allow the proposed excess paved surfaces and building 60 footprints at 365 S Owasso Boulevard, subject to the following conditions: 61 a. The driveway shall utilize materials and installation methods that are determined by 62 the City Engineer toachieve at least 50% perviousness as proposed and reviewed with 63 the variance application;and 64 b. Impervious surface area shall be limited to 25% of the parcel area, and the applicant 65 shall continue to work with Engineering Division staff to complete the Residential 66 Storm Water Permit process or otherwise comply with comparable City regulations in 67 place at the time of construction to install and maintain the pervious pavement. 68 The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution was duly seconded by Variance 69 Board Member ____andupon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor: ________; 70 and____votedagainst; 71 WHEREUPON said resolution was declared duly passed and adopted. 72 Page 2of 3
