4.0 REVIEW of REQUEST: 4.1 Marian and James KarE have submitted a proposal to construct a porch on to the south and east side of their home. The proposal seeks approval for the allowance of a pre-existing lot coverage overage of 575 square feet and a front yard encroachment of 7 feet 6 inches. 4.2 The Korfhome was constructed in 1950 on a 10,006 square foot (77 foot by 128 foot) lot. The home has a foundation size of 1,238 sq. ft.; a driveway of 1,392 sq. ft.; sidewalk of 78 sq. ft.; a patio/terrace of 342 sq. ft., and an existing detached accessory building (garage) of 360 sq. ft., all of which adds up to a total existing coverage of 3,581 sq. ft. or 35%. 4.3 Under Section 1004.01A6 of the Roseville City Code that Korf parcel is afforded 3,002 square feet of impervious surface coverage. 4.4 The proposed improvement, a porch along the south (front) and west (side) of the home does not increase impervious coverage. The new portion of the home will be constructed where driveway currently lies and the front sidewalk will be removed. 4.5 The Korf's applied for a building permit and during the review of the permit Staff determined (through discussions with the City Attorney) that it could not issue a permit for an improvement that did not meet the City Code, even if the proposed improvement included a net reduction in the non-conformity. 4.6 Variance Conditions Proposed: SECTION 1004.01A6 Existing Condition Proposed Condition Variance Requested Lot Covera2;e 3,002 SQ. ft./30% 3,581 SQ. ft.l35 % 3,577 SQ. ft./35 % 575 sq. ft./5 % SECTION 1004.01E Predominant Front Yard Setback 37 feet 37 feet 29' -6" 7' -6" 5.0 STAFF COMMENTS/FINDINGS: 5.1 Section 1004.01A6 reads: "Maximum Total Surface Area: Including detached accessory buildings, principal structures, pavement surfaces (asphalt, concrete and/or brick, stone or other paver), the total impervious surface on a residential lot or parcel shall not exceed 30% of the total lot or parcel size." The Korf parcel is 10,006 square feet in size, affording 3,002 square feet of impervious coverage. Built before the 30% surface coverage requirement, the existing improvements (principal structure - 1,238 sq ft., driveway - 1,392 sq. ft., patio/terrace - 342 sq. ft., and sidewalk -78 sq. ft.) exceed the allowance of the Code by 579 square feet.
