5.3 Built before the 30% surface coverage requirement, the existing improvements (principal structure - 1,091 sq ft., driveway - 1,423 sq. ft., detached garage 572 sq. ft.) exceed the requirement of the Code by 82 square feet. 5.4 Section 1004.01A4 established the criteria for reviewing conditional use permits. In the case of the subject request, the review considers specific impacts the proposed 1,020 sq. ft accessory building creates. Said criteria are listed below: a. Impactontra1fzc b. Impacts on parks, streets and other public facilities c. Compatibility of the site plan, internal circulation, landscaping and structure with contiguous properties d. Impact of the use on market value of contiguous properties e. Impact on the general public health, safety and welfare f. Compatibility with the City's Comprehensive Plan 5.5 The City Planner has reviewed the development proposal with regard to the criteria in Section 1013.01.D (Conditional Use Permit) of the Roseville Zoning Ordinance and has concluded the proposal meets these criteria. Specifically, a detached accessory building is a permitted use in an R-1 District. The proposed detached garage will not create additional traffic or the need for additional public facilities. With proper exterior building treatment, drainage, and landscaping, the building will not have an impact on surrounding property or values. There appears to be no impact on general health, safety, and public welfare. In addition, the project complies with the Comprehensive Plan designation as low-density residential uses. 5.6 The City Planner has reviewed the development proposal with regard to variance standards and determined that it is difficult to justify a departure from the strict application of the City Code allowing the applicant to construct the proposed detached 1,020 sq. ft detached accessory building. However, there is justification for reducing the size of the replacement garage to a size closer to the 900 sq. ft rear yard maximum afforded the parcel. 5.7 Specifically, a 32 foot by 30 foot (960 sq. ft.) detached accessory building designed with attic trusses would reduce overall impervious coverage by 60 sq. ft. and be nearer to the rear yard allowance, but more importantly, the design would still afford Mr. Davis a three car garage with ample interior storage area for the items indicated. 5.8 Section 1013.02 states: Where there are practical difficulties or unusual hardships in the way of carrying out the strict letter of the provisions of this code, the city council shall have the power, in a specific case and after notice and public hearings, to vary any such provision in harmony with the general purpose and intent thereof and may impose such additional conditions as it considers necessary so that the public health, safety, and general welfare may be secured and substantial justice done.
