A. The property in question cannot be put to a reasonable use ifused under conditions allowed by the official controls: The City staff has determined that the property can be put to a reasonable use under the official controls if a 1,008 square foot accessory building were constructed. However, the Code is specifically set-up as a sliding scale to give more accessory building area to larger lots. The Code does not anticipate very large single-family residential lots. The code also does not go beyond a typical residential lot size when determining restrictions for accessory structure size and whether a larger lot warrants a larger accessory structure and whether the structure is compatible with the property and the adjacent neighborhood. The Community Development Staff have determined that a garage (proposed use) of 28 feet by 30 feet (840 square feet), a four-foot length reduction from the request, is a reasonable size. B. The plight of the land owner is due to circumstances unique to the property not created by the land owner: Mr. Dahmann desires a larger, more modem accessory structure to accommodate a vehicles and other storage needs. This plight or desire is not unique to the property and is wholly created by the property owner. However, the Dahmann property has a rear yard allowance of 1,538 square feet, which the City Code does not contemplate. The parcel is large, at approximately 38,253 square feet (.88 acres), is not proposed to be subdivided, and is unique when administering Section 1004.01 (lot size and coverage) of the Roseville City Code. C. The variance, if granted, will not alter the essential character of the locality: The combined total of detached accessory buildings (1,290 sq. ft.) would not alter the essential character or the locality, nor adversely affect the public health, safety, or general welfare, of the city or adjacent properties 5.8 The Community Development Staff suggests the elimination of the garden shed and its allowance of 120 square feet of storage, reducing the Dahmann variance request by an additional 120 square feet. 5.9 The Community Development Staff has reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section 1013.01.D of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and concludes the following: A. The proposed detached accessory building will not create additional traffic nor the need for additional public facilities. B. The detached accessory building can be partially screened by placing appropriate landscaping east and west sides of the structure. The proposal includes a number of windows to break-up the wall mass. C. The detached accessory structure will not have an impact on the market value of contiguous property. PF3397 ReA 061702 Page 4 of 7
