SHED: The property setbacks changed in 1995 with the approved PUD. Previous to the PUD approval the property was not considered a comer lot, and had a 5 foot side yard setback; after the PUD approval this setback increased to 30 feet due to the dedication of a new public street. The placement of the shed on the driveway is an acceptable location, but the shed cannot meet the imposed (1995) setback from the new public road. DRlVEW A Y: Once a driveway is installed it becomes difficult and costly to reduce its size if, in fact, it must be reduced to meet the City Code. The sidewalk and driveway replacement and expansion of this property appears to be over the maximum allowed by Section 1004.01A6 of the Code. B. The plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner: The Community Development Staff has determined that the plight of the landowner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the landowner. Specifically: The change in use of the lot to the east from a standard non-comer residentially zoned property to a comer lot with a public right-of-way imposed a greater required setback than previously required. Although the property owner was aware of this action, he may not have been aware of a change in setback requirements on the property. The contractor was responsible for submitting the permit application with accurate information for review and approval, and abiding by all ordinance requirements. C. The variance, ifgranted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The Community Development Staff has determined that this variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties. 7.0 STAFF RECOMMENDATION: 7.1 Based on the information provided and the findings in Section 5 of this project report, the Community Development Department recommends approval of a variance to Section 1004.02D4 and Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code for property located at 716 County Road "C", subject to the following conditions: A The shed being screened with a year round landscaping on the south and a portion of the east of the property directly adjacent said shed. B The applicant submitting and receiving a permit for the driveway work completed consistent with the approved variance. C The applicant submitting and receiving a permit for the garden shed, consistent with the approved variance. PF3393 - ReA 081902 - Page 4 of 5
