<br />REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION <br /> <br />DATE: 11/26/01 <br />ITEM NO: L-l <br /> <br />Agenda Section: <br />L\ND USE <br /> <br />A request by Bradley Hoff, 1897 Shady Beach Avenue, for a Variance to <br />Section 1012.02B2 of the Roseville City Code (PF3347) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />1.0 REQUESTED ACTION <br /> <br />1.1 Mr. Hoff has requested a 2-1/2 foot variance to Section 1012.02B2 (Certain Structures <br />Not Considered Encroachments) to allow a recently installed fence to be 6-1/2 feet tall in <br />a front yard. <br /> <br /> <br />Existin <br />6-112 foot hei <br /> <br /> <br />ard <br /> <br />Variance Re uested <br />2-112 feet <br /> <br />PROJECT REVIEW HISTORY <br />· Application accepted on 10/02/01. <br />· 60-day review deadline on 12/01/01. <br />· Staff Review: Approval with conditions ......11/14/01. <br />· Planning Commission Recommendation: Denial w/findings - 11/14/01. <br /> <br />2.0 BACKGROUND <br /> <br />2.1 On August 13,1990 Mr. Hoff received a minor variance to allow construction ofa <br />detached garage five feet from the front property line. The minor variance process (no <br />longer used by the City) required the signatures of adjacent property owners supporting <br />the variance being requested. Mr. Ii.off did receive the necessary signatures and City <br />support for the 25-foot front yard setback encroachment. The minor variance site plan <br />(attached) included the other improvements that would occur on the property, including <br />the installation of a retaining wall and installation of a fence. However, the minor <br />variance approved by the City Council did not include an allowance for a 6-1/2 foot tall <br />fence. <br /> <br />2.2 In April 2001, the Community Development Department issued a building pennit to Mr. <br />Hoff for the replacement and expansion of his existing wood fence to the shoreline of <br />Lake McCarrons. However, this building pennit was issued in error. The inspector who <br />reviewed and issued the fence replacement/addition permit inadvertently overlooked <br />Section 1012.02B2 and its four foot maximum fence height allowance in a front yard. <br />Upon becoming aware of this error, the inspector notified the contractor of the height <br />limit for the section in the front yard. <br /> <br />PF3347 ReA 112601 Page 1 of 5 <br />
