5.4 On September 3, 2003, Mr. Santanni addressed the Planning Commission, providing them revised numbers that were based on exact measurements of the structures on the parcel. Specifically Mr. Santanni explained that his home and breezeway are a combined 1,138 square feet in size, which would allow him to construct a 698 SQ. ft. detached accessory buildinl! without a variance. However, Mr. Santanni desired a larger structure. 5.5 The original recommendation by the City Staff was to support a variance for a detached accessory building that did not exceed an overall size of 24 feet wide by 26 feet deep or 624 sq. ft., which size reduced the requested variance by 379 sq. ft. However, in light of the information presented by Mr. Santanni, there would be no need for a variance or conditional use permit if a detached accessory building was constructed up to 698 sq. ft. (see 6.2) 6.0 PLANNING COMMISSION ACTION: 6.1 On September 3,2003, the Roseville Planning Commission held the public hearing regarding the Santanni request. At the hearing no citizens were present to address the Commission. The City Planner stated the he did receive e-mail from adjacent residents that supported the Santanni request. 6.2 Mr. Santanni addressed the Commission explaining that the information included in the project report (based on his original submission) was inaccurate. He then provided the Commission with the accurate 1-112 story house and the breezeway footprint sizes (1,030 and 108 sq. ft.) stating that at a minimum he could construct a detached garage up to 690 square feet (the City Code only takes into account the first level footprint and not the second level square footage). 6.3 Mr. Santanni explained his needs and was willing to reduce his original proposal from 1,007 sq. ft. to something less than 864 sq. ft. to eliminate the need for a CUP. The City Planner indicated that a reduction to 728 sq. ft. (26 x 28) would require a variance of 30 sq. ft (1,138 sq. ft footprint less the 440 attached garage. 6.4 The Planning Commission recommended (6-0-1) DENIAL of the request by Scott Santanni for a variance to Section 1004.01A5 of the Roseville City Code, based on the following findings: a. There is no unique physical hardship present to support a detached accessory building size variance greater that the code allowance of 698 sq. f1. Such a structure is typically a 2.5 to 3 stall garage. b. A detached accessory building of sufficient size (698 sq. f1.) can be built without the need of a variance. c. No Conditional Use Permit is necessary. PF3512 ReA 092203 - Page 3 of 4
