Dear James & Marian: On Wednesday, July 16,2003, 1 met with the City Attorney to review your proposed porch addition and how said proposal is impacted by the Roseville City Code. Currently the Community Development Department would determine your home and parcel to be legal non- conforming, in essence, a parcel that was build under a different set of standards which design does not meet the current standards of the City Code. Specifically, your parcel currently exceeds the allowable lot coverage afforded by the City Code, which is set at 30%. Any modification to a structure or parcel that is non-conforming to the City Code requires the modification to be completed in compliance with the City Code or receive a variance to allow a deviation from the set standard. In the case of your situation, your parcel exceeds the allowable lot coverage by 5% and the addition will only minimally reduce the square footage. It also appears that a front yard encroachment will occur that requires a variance to allow the porch to extend 7 feet 6 inches into the required front yard setback. Attached please find a variance application for completion. Remit this document to me along with the required narrative explaining why the variance is necessary and the required fee. Given current time factors, I have placed your request on the August 6, Planning Commission agenda. You will receive additional notice for this meeting in the near future. Should you have any questions or comments, please feel free to call me at 651-490-2236. Sincerely, Cll) 1'ROSEVlLLE / L Thomas Paschke City Planner 2660 Civic Center Drive +:. Roseville +:.
