City of Roseville - City Council Minutes for September 22, 2003 VII. Land Use A. Approving Scott Santanni's Request for a Variance and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at 1019 Sherren Street (PF 3512) Kysylyczyn moved, Klausing seconded adoption of a resolution entitled, "A Resolution Denying the Request by Scott Santanni, 1019 Sherren Street, for a Variance to Section 1004.01A5 (Overall Area) of the Roseville City Code (PF 3512);" based on the findings indicated in Section 6.4 of the project report dated September 22, 2003. Development Director Dennis Welsch reviewed Mr. Santanni's request and purpose to allow for large detached garage, in addition to the existing attached garage on the property. Among other things, Mr. Welsch reviewed the detailed location of property; lot size; proposed accessory square footage would exceed living square footage and therefore would not be in compliance with City code. Mr. Welsch reviewed Mr. Santanni's original proposal, as well as his revised proposal advising that Mr. Santanni was at the meeting to plead his case before the City Council. Council questions and discussion included the preferred and allowable square footage for the garage dimensions; hardship considerations and current needs versus those during the time the home was constructed; various alternatives and required Planning Commission action (i.e. Conditional User Permit and/or Variance); impervious surface coverage; and height comparisons. Scott Santanni, 1019 Sherren Street (Applicant) Mr. Santanni distributed a letter dated September 16, 2003 as a bench handout and reviewed his request and preferences. Mr. Santanni stated his need for additional storage space, and his request for a 1,007 square foot detached garage that would require a Conditional Use Permit (CUP). He recounted that his request was prompted by a tree falling on the existing garage. Mr. Santanni proposed creating a drive-through from the existing garage to the new structure for access and for future accommodation. Mr. Santanni reviewed the staff report, Planning Commission findings and his rationale for the uniqueness of his lot and request; and presented a petition from his neighbors in support of the detached accessory building construction as presented. Mayor Kysylyczyn complimented Mr. Santanni on his presentation and knowledge of the issues and materials presented. Council questions and discussion included current needs and future plans; access issues from the existing to the detached garage; screening materials; design of roofing to match existing structures; and materials planned for the surface area between http://www.ci.roseville.mn.us/counci1/meetings/minutes/2003/mn030922.htm Page 1 of 3 Approving Scott Santanni's Request for a Variance and Conditional Use Permit (CUP) at 1019 Sherren Street 12/04/2003
